If the charger is compatible with the number of cells in your battery pack(s) it *should* work. You will want to be careful of charge rates. If the batteries are not rated for fast charge you could damage them if the charger can't be set to a C/10 rate. Also be aware of what is inside your battery packs. If there is a series diode in the path that could throw off the end-of-charge detection.

I apologize in advance if this offends anyone, but since there are sooo MANY very skilled electronic ops answering lots of tech queries, I thought to take the plunge.
I had a chance to purchase a very SMART battery charger for NiCd and NiMH batts...no Li-Ions.....I thought that since the charger can handle RC devices [cars/planes/hilos] correctly and safely, given those batts heavy duty use and sustainability, that the charger would be fine for HT batts. In fact would this charger be ok with any device using NiMH or NiCd only on the receiving end.
All thoughts appreciated.....AND TU!
STAY SAFE AND STAY WELL!
