Charging Question with Older Scanner

[Snyperx]

I have an older Uniden 30 channel/10band scanner that accepts alkaline or Ni-Cd batteries. There is a little selector switch for Alkaline or Ni-Cd inside the battery cover. Currently have Ni-Cds installed and charge them with the wall charger. I was wondering if I could still use the wall charger if I upgraded the batteries to NiMh batteries. Thanks!!

It will just take longer to charge. NiCD usually were 900 mAH or so, max. NiMH are going to be 1800-2700 mAH batteries, so 2-3 times longer for a full charge from dead.
