There is a simple one component, current limiting device.  It is 
called a light bulb.  It does assume you have an appropriate dc 
supply and just put the appropriate wattage bulb in series.  When 
current is high the light is bright and that drops the current.  When 
current is low the light is dim and does not.

I use light bulbs for all kinds of charge applications from custom 
nicads to motorcycle batteries.  The cheapest and easiest solution to 
a million charge needs.
