I'm once again looking into Nimh batteries after a long hiatus -- but only as a backup for for dives during which I don't care if my light goes out.
Any suggestions for chargers?
Most "charger" problems associated with NiMh packs are actually battery problems.
If your batteries are assembled in true series only configuration, not parallel / series configuration, most commercially available chargers sold today will work fine.
Most commercially available chargers are based on a handful of very similar IC's anyway. The charging protocols are all very similar.
If you build a parallel / series pack there is no charger that can reliably charge it.
