Can I use an old nicd battery charger for the nimh?
Technially you can use it, but if you don't have much experience with the battery types I wouldn't recommend it. Ni-mh chargers use a little bit different type of detection than Ni-cd's do. You would be better off picking up a charger that is designed for Ni-mh's. In fact, there are plenty of chargers on the market now that are reletively inexpensive and are loaded with features. Most of these will charge Ni-cd;s, Ni-mh's, lead acid, and lithium chemestry batteries. You'll never go wrong with one of these chargers as they will serve you later on down the road if you expand into other types of batteries that need charged.
Hope this helps
