Nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries are an updated version of the familiar nickel cadmium (NiCad) variety. However, they don't suffer from the same problems as older NiCad's do; that's when you think they're fully charged, but within minutes of getting a full charge, your device stops working again. NiCad and NiMH batteries are very similar in other ways: they both produce 1.2 volts and the milliamp hour rating is just a little more for a NiMH battery than a NiCad. This means that you can adequately charge your NiMH battery in a multipurpose NiCad charger.

1
Put your NiMH battery into the multipurpose NiCad battery charger. Turn on the charger.

2
Leave the NiMH battery to charge until the battery light indicates the battery is full. It may take a little longer than of you charge it in a NiMH charger. The milliamp hour rating for a NiMH battery is higher, so it takes longer.
