Ordinarily I'd agree, but since the original nicad replacements are
unavailable there aren't many alternatives. As for the much reduced
lifetime, that certainly hasn't been the case for me. I'm careful
to pull the phone off the charger after a few hours. Vtech, the
manufacturer of my ancient phone, told me their charger would handle
the nimh batteries without any problems. It works better than the
original nicad.

A NiCd charger is a very bad choice for charging a NiMH battery; their
requirements are very different. It may seem to work, but the NiMH will
probably have a much reduced lifetime.
