Flooded (open) NiCd batteries are pretty forgiving critters. They mostly
handle overcharging pretty well, within reason, though I wouldn't
recommend
it as a regular practice nor if done to excess.
I know of someone who trashed a set of 20 Saft STM5-180 GC2 NiCd modules
by
overcharging them. He fired up his "bad boy" unregulated charger and
forgot abouit it. By the time he remembered, some of the cell caps had
literally melted.
So try not to overcharge quite that much.
And I still recommend a charger with more smarts than that old GE
blunderbuss.
