will the NiCd charger work on NiMh replacement batteries?

For a definitive answer, "It depends." .....snip msg

This question is in regard to Makita 9.6v drill driver & a Makita 3/8
impact wrench (also 9.6v). I was trying to see if the Ultralast
(aftermarket) NiMh batteries or even the Makita replacements would
work in my chargers.
I have 2 chargers, both charge fairly fast like 45 min. One is
automatic & the other has a start button & a reset button.
Seems like replacement NiCd are getting extinct but the NiMh stuff
(from Mak) gives me sticker shock.....and I didn't want to spring for
the NiMh & then have to buy another charger....it's a damn conspiricy
I tell you-oh, never mind, I'm getting to old for this hi tech ****
anyway!
