Update:

 

Since the shaver's charger is built-in to the shaver, and the majority of
people (and Wikipedia) suggested the NiMH batteries may not fare well with a
NiCad charger, I decided to buy better Ni-cad batteries.

 

But then I found out that the average retailer (Target, Meijer, etc) sell
NiMH rechargeable batteries only; no Ni-cad's. Radio Shack still carries
Ni-Cads in theory, but all the local stores are out of stock. 

 

So, in spite of the mediocre performance and early demise of the previous
Harbor Freight Ni-cad batteries, I decided to install another set and hope
for the best. 

 

I think next time I will buy a new shaver. 3 sets of replacement batteries
and one set of replacement heads is enough.

 

Thanks to everyone for their input!

Sorry for the NMC question to the unfiltered readers.  But since
knowledgeable guys hang out here.

 

I have a device (okay, a 12+ year old Norelco shaver) that calls for NiCad
Batteries "only". However, I have NiMh batteries handy. 

 

Will I ruin the batteries, or the shaver,  by using them instead? Since I
have to solder them in, II would prefer to avoid replacing them again.

 

BTW, the Harbor Freight NiCad batteries are a complete disappointment.
