Hi,
I have recently bought a lot of Nimh I think around 22 cells
12 eneloop(1900 mah)
6 energizer(1400mah)
4 energizer(2650mah)
I have a lot of gadgets that require batteries
I want help regarding to economically charge them
I will need to charge all the eneloop at one go
I thought about buying a dedicated 12 cell charger but I said why not trying building one myself
I am not sure whether or not it is a good Idea but ha what would I lose if I tried
So the 10000000$ Question, How easy or hard to build a 12 cell nimh charger?
I want to build a reasonable charger that can do the charging cycle in a reasonable time(not taking for ever)
for starter I happen to have a lot of LM317 (around 15)can I use it in efficient way for this project
by the way I don't have any idea how Nimh batteries being charged
any guideline, open source projects anything!!
I hope I wouldn't end up buying new one, it will be disappointing
one little note: if a new commercial charger cost me the same amount of money of building it, I may choose to build it rather that buy it
(I know weird choice)
