Almost certainly.
The worst that can happen if it's wrong is that it explodes showering
you with hot caustic electrolyte.
Though this is vanishingly unlikely.

Does it give a capacity?
If so, and it's 900mAh, it's NiMH

Why?

Because I thought NiCd were not available in capacities over that -
however, capacities have advanced a bit, and the white heat of
technology has brought us 1100mAh cells that are NiCd.
So, 1100mAh, probably NiMH.
