Can you charge NI-CAD batteries with this?

I switched over from nickel cadium years ago because they are prone to memory and you never can get full use of them unless they are totally drained before you recharge them.

yes, according to this "http://www.tenergy.com/01190". Haven't tried it myself as I don't have any NiCd wirh me.

I never have but the literature with the charger says it can. Hope that helps.

I have looked on my charger and it doesn't show anything about that type of battery only ni-mh.i would just email the company.ive sent them questions before and they replied fairly quickly.hope this helps and I've had this charger for over a year and no problems so far

Michael: you cab charge up to 4 AA, AAA, C, or D NiMH or NiCd batteries at one time. It will also charge 2 9V rechargable batteries. It's a great charger and will also charge USB devices (MP3, I-Pad, etc.

If it works you can ( Though manufacturer does not recommend it ). The charger does not work most of the time. It keeps showing every battery "BAD". However, there are much cheaper chargers available on AMAZON to charge NI-CAD and NI-MIH batteries.

yes, all the newer smart chargers can do both nickel cadium and nickel metal hydride.

Apparently yes. We just checked the old batteries and they are NI-Cad and the new batteries are working just fine.

You can charge these batteries with any makita charger designed to charge makita 18v slide style batteries. Input voltage does not matter.

All I have is ni-cad but I looked at the X.R.P 18VOLT LI-lon online and it looks like the same hook up. So I don't see why it wouldn't work.

don't know of a ni-cad battery that will fit. If a 12V ni-cad would fit it would work.

As long as the voltage is "real close" ... YES you can, But you have to change your charger to a NI-MH also.

Your existing Ni-Cad Battery Charger will work fine, but remember to unplug the batteries as soon as they're charged to help assure longer battery life (i.e., I don't recommend you leaving them plugged-in for days at a time). This is my second-set of batteries, whereby I have to replace them every 3-4 years (depends on your usage).

Recharge these anytime. In fact, best to NOT let these run down entirely, as these (unlike Ni-Cad) have no 'memory.' Mainly don't overcharge. These take about a 2 hour charge, and overcharging in an attempt to bring them up to full capacity cause battery 'stress.' You can get the full, more scientific answers to your questions if you Google. Also, remove from charger after charging.

The back of the charger says, "Rechargeable Alkaline and NiMH Battery Charger", so I would assume you can charge NiMH batteries. I haven't tried it - I have other chargers I use for my NiMH.

Yes as far I know you can. I have charged both batteries with it and have had no problems.

The battery doesn't indicate its type but the charger says for Ni-cad or Metal halide only. So, I'm pretty sure it is Ni-cad.

Yes, you can use either Lithium Ion or Ni-Cd batteries. You will need to be sure to use either a Lithium Ion or Multi Chemistry battery charger however.

This battery is lithium ion not ni cad. I have three of these batteries. They are sold as "Red Lithium".

Not at all. They are lithium-ion, and don't have a charging memory like the old Ni-Cad batteries did. I do exactly what you're describing all the time, and have not noticed any decrease in capacity.

If I were to guess I would say you put it back in the charger after each use. That destroys ni-cad batteries. If you cannot replace the batteries (and then only put them back in the charger when the unit is dead or almost dead) do so, otherwise, you have just been educated on what they call ni-cad memory and why you should get lithium batteries if possible. I have had mine for about six months and I have not yet needed to recharge it and I use it almost daily.

Not much difference as this charger charges Ni-Cad as well as lithium ion batteries also. This charger is only available with some combo kits as Sears does not sell this one individually. Works great though!

I believe you can use any AA chargeable batteries. The charger shown here will charge NiMhydride AA batteries.
