The nickle
hydrides are slightly different. The charge voltages are about the
same, but when they are fully charged, the voltage peaks, but then
slightly drops off a bit. This indicates full charge. This is why they
have separate chargers, or switchable ones that do both types for
nicads vs nickle hydride.

The nickel cadmium (NiCd) battery is the kind that reaches a peak
voltage and drops off a little when it's fully charged. The NiMh don't
do this.


They do on my charger (info by the digital readout built into the charger).
