Same here dude,
I have Tx batt(NiMh) 9.6 v 700 mah. Confused with charger, as it is dangerous to charge with constant current as per wikipedia. :o

Any one who is getting into RC seriously should get one of the 50W all chemistry chargers (unless funds are really tight!).

A decent charger will cost you a minimum of 1250 rs for 50 watts. From what I know you can use a 9V adapter with approximately 100 to 150 mah output and charge for 4 hours for a 9 v battery, for 6 V you may need a 6 V adapter. variable volt adapters are also present. But again if you forget to switch it off, it keeps going bad or explode in rare cases.

Wait for more answers.

I have one that I can give away cheap since I am not using it anymore. Works for all NiCD and NiMH batteries. Can charge 2 at a time. See this link:
