I mean nothing can go wrong. This famous charging electronics does nothing
else than charging the accus with 50mA (that's always save for ANY accu) and
stop as soon as the charging end voltage (typically 1.3V per cell) is
reached. It must be that simply since it has work also w/o software. All
software can only monitor the charging/discharging and guess how long the
charge will last, if this is implemented.
But the really luxury NiMH accu charger you can find here:
