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.

Flashlight that docks in a charger to recharge two AA nickel cadmium batteries so can an you replace these batteries with cadmium metal hydride ones?
you can change the nicad batteries for nimh without any problems, the charging will take longer as the capacity of the nimh batteries will be much higher than the nicad 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.
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 long to charge a 7.2V NiMH battery?
You need to have a 7.2 or higher battery charger
How many watt hours in AA battery?
This question doesn't have a simple answer. It depends on the battery chemistry and construction. Somewhere in the battery's specification is the amp-hour rating. For AA size batteries, it is common to use milliampere-hour ratings (mAH). You need to multiply the mAH rating by 1.5 if you're figuring alkaline batteries, or 1.2 if you're figuring rechargeable batteries. Then divide the result by 1000 to get watt hours. Nicad cells are typically rated 500 to 1000 mAH. NiMh batteries typically have twice the rating of similarly sized nicad batteries. Alkaline batteries are typically rated at 2500-3000 mAH
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 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.
Does a dynamite mega 1 charger charge NiMh batteries?
Packs,yep..
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.
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.
How long do you charge nimh batteries?
No set answer to that. It depends on charger output and battery capacity. Usually a few hours.
What are the benefits of lithium ion batteries compared to other batteries?
All rechargeable batteries develop a "memory effect", which occurs over time. This effect limits the ability of the battery to recharge close to its fullest potential charge. How quickly this problem manifests itself can directly depend on the discharge/charge cycle of the battery during its lifetime. It is always best to discharge a battery completely - or close to it - before recharging it. NiCAD and NiMH are older types of batteries where NiMH had more resistance to the "memory effect" than NiCAD. Hence, NiMH was a breakthrough in battery technology once upon a time. Now we have LiION batteries that are a major improvement over the NiMH batteries.
What is the difference between a NiCad battery and a NiMH battery?
In NiCad batteries the negative electrode is made of Cadmium, while in NiMH batteries it is made of an intermetallic compund, consisting of a rare earth (such as Lanthanum or Cerium) and a transition metal (such as Manganese or Nickel). anonymous@oola.com
What type of camcorder batteries are quickest to recharge?
NiMH batteries are the longest lasting.You need to get a quick charger if you want to charge them quickly.That's more important than the 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.
