Default ques about NiCd vs NiMh battery charging

will the NiCd charger work on NiMh replacement batteries?


Yes.

Badly.

Batteries are more expensive than chargers. Look after them. Some
chargers are switchable, some autoswitch (generally only for
"intelligent" batteries though). If it's a NiCd-only charger though,
it's something you can do to "get the job finished", but you'll reduce
battery life by making a habit of it.

If you do do it, disconnect the battery as soon as its charged or
warm.
