Well, they're NiMhs, which have been around sof some years now. If
you try charging them with a NiCd charger they probably won't like
it.

Why's that?

Different terminal (fully charged) voltage, different charge/voltage
characteristics, different leakage (trickle) currents under charge

Unfortunately this is an American site;
does anyone know if microprocessor-controlled chargers
are available here (in the UK/EU)?

Try ebay,I was looking at one only last night at 14GBP new ie buy it now.
