#84306 - It is dangerous to bother
Responding to: ???'s previous message
... when manufacturers like Maxim and Linear Technology offer literally dozens of integrated 'intelligent' chargers, most of which are suited for two, three, even four different cell chemistries.
ANY battery will explode, if treated wrong. The ICs mentioned above have the safety measures built in and a "design from scratch" may have a bug that lead to an explosion.

Please do not try to make a battery charger from scratch without
Reading up on battry characteristics
Making a testbench, so you can test for validity without connecting a battery.
