Connecting a wind turbine generator to a battery?

Dear all,

I have a 1.5V generator for wind turbine and two 1.5V rechargeable batteries. I would like to know what do I have to connect between them?

1- I know I will need a charge controller. Is there any out there for 1.5 volt?
2- For the diodes how many do I have to connect? As I have I have 2 batteries and I would like the generator to charge them both at the same time.
3- Will I need an inverter? I read that batteries always charge on DC input. I have a DC generator?

Please if you can think about anything else that could be connected between the wind turbine generator and the batteries, let me know.

This seems like a small system, and I would be surprised if there is a charge controller for 1.5 V. You may not need one. I expect one diode would be enough. Voltage across the diode may be 0.6V, so you might need 2.1V from the generator, just to charge the batteries. I don't think you will need an inverter, and expect it would be hard to get one to work off 3V, let alone 1.5.
