The answer is no, it will not hurt the Ni-Cds provided the charge
current is within the range of the cells.

Uh, Nicads where charged mostly by time, NmMh by current sensing.

Erm, actually both types are "charged" by passing a current thought them.

The *sensing* of when they are fully "charged" can be done by various
methods (or none) depending on all sorts of details, etc.

You
would want to monitor a nicad very closely in a NmMh charger if it
didn't complain and abort the charge in the first place. My Duracell
charger will not charge Nicad. Not even attempt to charge them.
