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 Nicd rechargeable batteries be replaced with Nimh rechargeable batteries for solar lights?
The two types of rechargeable batteries are similar in performance and many characteristics are the same. Importantly, they both deliver a voltage of 1.2V so the devices they drive will respond in the same way. The two technologies differ in the way that they should be charged. This is only a concern for fast chargers. Nimh batteries can be fully charged in about one hour but it is is important that the charger monitors the battery and shuts off the charge at the right time to avoid damage to the battery. NiCd batteries have a different charging characteristic so charging either battery in a fast charger designed for the other type is likely to lead to damage or reduced performance. Solar lights use solar panels to charge batteries over a 12 hour period or more. The charging current is low enough to avoid the risks of damage to a Nimh battery so it is very likely that they can be used. There should be no risk of damage but the only way to see if the batteries work in a light fitting is to try it and see if it works. If it doesn't, it's time to switch back to NiCd batteries.
Can you use Duracell rechargeable batteries in an Energizer recharger all NIMH?
Provided the batteries are the correct voltage (You shouldn't have to worry about this, as an odd size battery won't fit, though it is worth mentioning) and chemistry it should be OK. A NiMH charger should be OK on all NiMH batteries, but not for Li-Ion or other types.
Can you substitute a Ni Mn battery for a Ni Cad battery without damaging your two way radios?
I talked to an expert at Total Battery and he said "yes, you can substitute NiMh batteries instead of NiCad, and still use the same charger." I dug up one of my old dead NiCad AA batteries and it's the same voltage as the AA NiMh battery. Ray B.
Do rechargable nimh batteries need to be exhausted before being recharged?
No - you can plug them in any time to bring them back up to 100% similar to a cell phone. In fact if you run the battery to 0%, it will take longer.
Can caravans use dry cell battery instead of wet?
There is no real reason why not. As long as they add up to 12 volts and have sufficient capacity to to the work. Rechargeable dry cells would be more convenient and cost effective, but would need the correct charger for the type used. (Nicad, lion, NiMh etc.)
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.
Will a NiCd charger charge NiMh Batteries?
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.
Can I replace NiCd batteries with NiMH batteries in solar lights?
Yes, you can typically replace NiCd batteries with NiMH batteries in solar lights as long as the voltage and size of the batteries are compatible. NiMH batteries are a more environmentally friendly option and may provide better performance in some cases.
What are the differences between NiMH and NiCd batteries for solar lights, and which one is more suitable for optimal performance and longevity?
NiMH batteries have higher energy density and are more environmentally friendly than NiCd batteries. NiMH batteries are also less prone to memory effect and have a longer lifespan. Therefore, NiMH batteries are more suitable for optimal performance and longevity in solar lights compared to NiCd 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.
Can you leave NiMH batteries on the charger?
It is generally not recommended to leave NiMH batteries on the charger for an extended period of time as it can reduce their overall lifespan and performance. It is best to remove them from the charger once they are fully charged to prevent overcharging.
What are the differences between NiCd and NiMH batteries for solar lights, and which one is more suitable for optimal performance and longevity?
The main differences between NiCd and NiMH batteries for solar lights are their energy density, memory effect, and self-discharge rate. NiMH batteries have higher energy density, no memory effect, and lower self-discharge rate compared to NiCd batteries. Therefore, NiMH batteries are more suitable for optimal performance and longevity in solar lights.
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.
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.
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.
What's type of charger do you use on NiMH batteriesMine doesn't work on them?
NiMH batteries will need an NiMh battery charger,no other type will work.
