A NiCad charger has different sensor values than NiMh. I would find a charger that has a switch to select either, or specifically a Nickel Metal Hydride battery charger to prevent damaging and shortening the life of your batteries.

Will a NiMh charger charge NiCad Batteries?
Some will, but it is not recommended because it can damage the batteries or the charger. Invest in a NiCd charger or better yet get some NiMh batteries. NiMh batteries are better than NiCd in every way.
Can Nimh batteries can be charged with Nicd charger?
It is always better to use a charger designed to charge a particular battery type. Using a NiCad charger for NiMh batteries or vice versa can cause damage to the charger or batteries, especially if the charger is designed to charge the batteries in under two hours. The worst case is a fire risk. Some charger and battery combinations will work perfectly well together but it is safe to assume that the charger will only be suitable for the battery types stated on it.
Can GP rechargeable AA Batteries use in Energizer charger?
If its a NiMH battery then yes. The Energizer charger will charge ANY brand of NiMH rechargeable batteries.
Your camera insists to use nimh AA batteries can you use nicd batteries?
yes. NiMH batteries and chargers are easier to come by though. Alot of times, the mAh will be higher in the NiMH batteries as well...so there is really no point to using NiCD unless you'd prefer it.
Does a dynamite mega 1 charger charge NiMh batteries?
Packs,yep..
Are mcVolt Li-Ion laptop batteries really better than NiMh and NiCd batteries?
Nickel Cadmium batteries contain Cadmium, a toxic heavy metal, which is harmful to the environment. Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries offer a higher capacity(runtime)per same size(voltage output) than NiCd batteries and mcVolt Litium Ion laptop batteries have a higher capacity than NiMh(those sold by most manufacturers). NiMh batteries are also lighter and have little memory effect compared to their NiCd counterparts. mcVolt Li-ion laptop batteries are light, have a higher capacity and have no memory effect compared to NiMh and NiCd batteries.
Do quickcharge household battery chargers damage or shorten the life of rechargeable batteries as opposed to slow or regular chargers?
Not significantly. So long as it is done using a properly designed smart charger, most NiMH batteries can be recharged in about an hour without any damage or significant reduction in their life. However, NiMH batteries must only be rapid charged with a charger specifically designed for charging NiMH batteries. Chargers designed to rapidly charge NiCd batteries can overcharge NiMH batteries. While it may be true that rapid charging NiMH batteries can reduce battery life by a small amount (probably less than 10%), this should be more than offset by the inconvenience of always slow charging batteries.
How do you charge the Roland AX-Synth if you have the NiMH Rechargeable batteries?
The AX-Synth does not recharge the batteries. You have to get an external AA Ni-MH charger.
How long do you charge nimh batteries?
No set answer to that. It depends on charger output and battery capacity. Usually a few hours.
Can you use NiCD battery in place of NiMH battery?
Yes, as long as you use an NiCd charger, but you really shouldn't. NiMh has twice the capacity of NiCd and it is less expensive. NiMh also contains no toxic materials so it is better for the environment.
Is it true that if you put a battery in the fridge it will recharge?
No, but refrigerating NiMh/NiCd batteries will increase their shelf life. Never freeze batteries.
What kind of batteries are NIMH batteries?
NIHM stands for nickel metal hydride battery. The NIHM batteries are similar to other types of rechargeable batteries like the more common nickel-cadmium NiCd types but with much more charge capacity.
