I got a replacement NiMH for a NiCad pack for a HT.
When I charge it it opens up. After it cools down it is
fine.
It is an Alinco quick charger and it is almost impossible to
make the charger light for trickle green.


Sounds like you're overcharging it. NiMH and NiCd use different
charge termination schemes. While it is possible to design a
charger for both, older NiCd chargers may not ever terminate with a NiMH
battery. Might want to take this up with the battery vendor.
