Placing 2 chargers in parallel?

[rocco_gt3]

Hi all,

Ive got a 7.2V 1100ma battery i want to charge (used for RC's)
Original charger has burnt out

Ive got 2 DC power packs, both identical:
They can each output between 1.5V ~ 13V (adjustable through POT)
They can each supply upto 600ma

Question 1 is, if i wire these 2 chargers in parallel, and set both to 7.2V, will i be able to charge the 7.2V battery? (Is this even safe?)

Question 2 is, what is the difference of NiMh NiCad etc batteries? Will they charge using a regular power pack?

Question 3 is, how do you safely measure current in any given circuit/battery/power pack without electricuting yourself or blowing the fuse in the Multimeter?


Thanks in advance for any knowledge you can share,
Rocco

1. Possibly. Probably not. No large explosion likely but one or both may self destruct.
2. Google each and read for yourself. Depends on what the pack is rated for.
3. Use the proper meter and scale. Get some training.
