The charger is designed to charge
NiCd batteries with capacities of
150-4000 mAh. A potential 5 V higher
than the nominal voltage of the battery
to be charged is derived from an
8-15 V mains adaptor by IC1. The
supply voltage is decoupled by C1 and
C2. The nominal voltage of the battery
to be charged, whether this is 1.5 V or
9 V, has no effect on the circuit. lt is
therefore possible to charge T1 series connected
batteries, provided that the
supply voltage is (n·1.5 + 5) V.
