bicycle dinamo

Hello,

I am wondering, if it is possible to recharge battery using fluctuating power source like bicycle dinamo. Its voltage varies from 0-6 V, and current from 0-650mA.
So, I am riding a bicycle and stop, and riding and stop, etc. etc. days...
I would like to recharge NiMh batteries, and probably LiIon. So I not sure what kind of charger to buld, or do I have to build it anyway. For example, when I am riding uphill speed would be no more than 10 km/h, and voltage vould be, maybe 4-5 V, and currnet 200-300mA, and for faster speed, maximum V, A.
I am not sure how to know if the battery is full ?

Does anyone have some idea ?
