Hi all,
I want to construct a battery charger for Nicads, and Nickel Metal
Hydride batteries, that can operate off of a Siemens 75 watt panel, and
I figured that rather than build something fancy, I could simply install
a resistor in series with the battery and the panel, to regulate the
current flow to the battery, and as long as I don't let it over charge,
it would work fine, but I am wondering if there is some problem I might
encounter if I charge my batteries in this way?
Thanks, Dave
