I would like to know why is it that when charging the battery the thrushold voltage between Ni-Cd and NiH battery are so different? Also, why is it that this method is used to detect the full charge of the battery? Why not just use the make the charger recognize the very peak of the pack, instead of having it check for the sudden drop in the pack?

thanks for all replied
Thrushold? I've heard of pigeon fancying but that is just ridiculous...

So far as I am aware the voltage actually continues to rise as you charge the pack, so you can't detect the peak itself.
