In short, no.
The charger is taking AC power and converting it to the DC voltage that the batteries want then is monitoring that voltage to adjust it and turn off, that monitoring is part of the key to fully charged happy batteries.

I saw a combination charger speed controller the other day and looking at the guts inside of it the charger was at one end of the case and the speed controller was at the other end, there was a little bit of communication between them and they were both hooked to the batteries, but the biggest thing they had in common was that they were put in the same box.
