What's so new about your method ?

I'm using a puls quick charger (10 minutes) for over 12 years now for NiCd,
with only dV/dT detection
and it works really great (it can even "repair" damaged batteries).

I think all NiMh chargers, sold at this moment are dV/dT chargers.
So that's my second question,
 why do you think dV/dT is unreliable (if you do it in the right way ;-)
