Using Secondary Winding on Current Transformer to charge a NiCD

I'm trying to design a circuit that utilises a Current Transformer to create a low current charging circuit on the secondary, for a 2.4V NiCD with the addition of a few components .

primary 4 - 6A load

1 : 100 = Isec approx 40 to 60mA into a short circuit

Isec ________ -->----O | O--->--| |-----||+ ILoad O | O |Low I | ||NiCD O | O |Charger |-----||- --

Well you need at least a diode in the "low I Charger cct" to prevent the nicad discharging through the secondary.
