BR>I have a custom NiMH battery pack I built for a digital camera (the battery
BR>door broke on the camera itself) that I would like to leave on continuous
BR>charge when not in use. I know an overnight (15-hour) charge is 10-15% of th
BR>rated AH using Reg-I, and I know how to trickle charge Lead-Acid batteries
BR>(long-term) using Voltage regulation, but how does this work with NiNH? Can
BR>float them with Reg-V? %?

NOT really. There are though Fully Automatic Universal NiCad battery
chargers out there. They use Voltage curves fro determing Charged end
point and cit bac kto a maintenance charge or in the better ones fully
cut off and monitor a certian voltage droop for charging turn on.
I concider those as the olny csafe ones to leave a battery in Full time.
I got one from  www.batteries amercia.com
Yupo might also check   www.mahaenergy.com for a universal charger.
NOW tyou wil most liekly have to make up a custom charging cord/holder
to mate with the Battery pack.
