Battery Charger

[Motherrr]

I need to replace a rechargeable battery. It is a Ni-Cd.
All the replacements available are Ni-MH, which I know is more up to date.
Will the Ni-MH be compatible with my original charger, without damage to
charger or battery?

The answer is more complicated than you might expect.

Personally, I'd take no chances and buy a suitable charger.

My charger has a switch to choose one or the other, which isn't a good sign re compatibility.

Thank you both for your answers. I shall take your advice and get a new charger.
