Hi!

I design my own a NiMH reflex charger. It stopped charging the batts using
the -dV/dT technique.

I am thinking in some improvements on it, so any advice would be welcome:

        -The psu is a 12V/2A regulated, so when it needs to charge few batteries a
lot of power is wasted. Could I use a switched psu with variable output
depending on the number of batts? , maybe controlled by the PIC.

        -Say I need to charge 4 different batts, I connect all of them in serie
with the charger. If I monitorize the -dV/dT of each one I can disconnect
each batt as they get charged, while still charging the others. In this way
the charging time will be reduced (roughly will be T instead of 4xT).

Cheers,
Diego.
