Hi

I am wanting to know how I can rig up a simple trickle charge for 4 x AAA Ni-MH Rechargeable Batteries .I need them to run a 5 volt laser for a security set up I am making .

Do you want to charge them single or all together in series?

 

Hi Dodgydave

So you can use a 12v supply constant current put them all in series, or individual, plenty of circuits on google,

Hi,

Low current is the key to longer life. Maybe C/40 or so. They dont put up with overcharging as well as NiCd.
