The Cadex site (www.cadex.com) says that there are important
differences between the chargers. They claim that:


The charge termination criterion is different. Most NiCd chargers
stop (or transition to trickle charge) on a characteristic voltage
drop. The NiMH voltage drop is more subtle. Most NiMH chargers
transition based on temperature.

The early units transitioned on a voltage plateau. Where NiCd will
start to drop in voltage after full charge, NiMH tends to stop
rising in voltage but not fall.

A NiCd charger will charge a NiMH until the voltage drops, which
(if it happens at all) will be long after the battery is badly
overcharged.
