Ni-Cad battery cells are obsolete and have been replaced by Ni-MH cells that have 3.5 times more capacity.
They reach a voltage of about 1.5V per cell when fully charged. The voltage and temperature rises when they are overcharged. The datasheet for the battery lists its max recommended charging current.
Look at the spec's on the datasheet from a manufacturer like Energizer. Energizer has a Ni-Cad Applications Manual and a Ni-MH Applications Manual on their website.
