The chargers are basically current limited constant voltage sources (with some added intelligence). First they charge at a constant current until the battery voltage reaches a certain value. After this, they charge at a constant voltage (and current "automatically" drops as the battery charges up) until current drops under a certain value and the charger switches to float/maintain mode.

So, what you're wishing for is actually happening. :-)
