NiCd and NiMH charging is pretty simple actually:
Use a bench supply with current limit and set the current to say 1C and set the voltage limit to less than 1.5V per cell. Now you leave it until the voltage has been reached and the current has gone down to about 0.1C (C=Capacity means 1C for a 2000mAh battery is 2A)
I've done this for years and never had a batterypack go bad on me.
Lithium Accumulators, be it LiIon or LiPo, are much mor critical in regards to charge profiles and voltages and they really do react explosively if mistreated.
