Automatic Ni-Cd Charger
Simple Ni-Cd charger (Automatic)
The charger has the following specs and characteristic:
1. Simple and minimal parts thus good for beginners and hobbyist.
2. Can be used to charge Ni-Cd of different voltages (2.4V, 3.6V, 7.2V, and other battery voltage)
3. Automatic with battery over-voltage protection. Current limited and voltage controlled.
4. Visual led indicator. Charging (red) and full-charge (yellow) indicator.
