| Hello,
I assume that you don't have the intension to load your cells at "quick rate", so let's say that you charge your cells with 0.1 X normal battery current, so in your case, with four cells in parallel, you can charge the batteries with 0.4 X nominal cell current (f.e. if your batteries are 3000maH types,you might charge your cells with 300mA per cell,so with four cells in parallel,your charger has a charge current of 1.2A). However, most chargers expect the cells to be put in series... Take a look on the internet at these sites : http:<//www.electronics-lab.com/projects/power/037 this charger uses the great LM317 3 pins regulator ! http://www.discovercircuits.com/B/batt-chrg.htm or type "NiMh charger schematics" or "battery charger schematics" succes !  |
