I built a NiMH charger based on the Maxim 712 chip some time ago.
I didn't implement the temperature cutoff part of the chip's capability, and now would like to do that.
Here's the main question:
How much above ambient temperature should the cutoff be?
Thanks.

Depend how to measure batteries temperature, but battery itself should not going much over 50 degree Celcius in charging process - read battery makers datasheet for more precise info!
