You would think that the packaging would indicate this, but you have to
know the nR6 code.
Anyway, I now know that HR6 are NiMH not NiCD.
Why is it so hard?

I was recently looking for 10 aa nicads but couldn't find any........
I can't think of any reason to buy NiCd now.

can I just use my nicad charger then ? ...
if it's a 14hr slow charger yes

NiMHs aren't as robust re overcharging, but I have stuck NiMH in NiCd circuits and not experienced significant problems.
