Does anybody make NiCd/NiMH smart chargers built into wall-warts (wall-transformer power supplies)?
This is for an industrial application that might be big enough for a custom order.
NiMH smart charger built into wall-wart?

The first step in designing a smart charger is showing some intelligence in reviewing the application. This normally restricts smart chargers to specific mechanical battery pack sizes, or standard cells.
The most common 'smart' charger using a wall-wart source will employ the battery housing and electronics of the host target, as these pre-exist in the ideal configuration for the application. This functionally decouples the power source from the charging application, allowing the use of a generic wall-wart.
