can you charge NiMH batteries in NiCD chargers?

[vexingv]

i cant seem to find my NiMH charger at the moment and i really need to charge some batteries for my canon A40; i did happen to find my old radioshack NiCD charger tho. i looked at the radioshack website and they dont even separate the different types of chargers and it looks like many do both. is there a problem/will the battery be damaged using NiCD charger?

tia,

No and it depends. If your charger has a switch so you can switch between NimH and NiCD, then switch to NiMH. Heres a pic of that "switch".

Otherwise, from my knowledge, you can't.
