The charge circuit is derived from the 6v line via a diode with a series resistor 3901 presumably to limit the current. |
Be aware that in the Thomson ICC5 IMC manual it warns that versions of this chassis used either Nicad or Lithium cells and they are not directly interchangeable, it warns you would need to disable the charging circuit if a Lithium cell is used to replace a Nicad, and to add the charging circuit if using a Nicad on the lithium version.
Edit: this was in the Ferguson manual for that chassis
