One of the battery packs I use consist of 4 D cells,  original equipment was
NiCad, when they failed I cut open the case and replaced the cells with NIMH
 Ds.  This was about 4 years ago and have been using the original NiCad
charger.  I guess some will work while others will not.

Just be sure to get a charger designed for NiMH batteries - a NiCD
charger won't charge them properly. The great thing about NiMH batteries
is that they don't have a "memory" - you can charge them when they are
only half discharged, and they will still work properly. NiCD batteries
will "remember" where you charged them and only work to that level.
Also, you can recharge NiMH batteries hundreds of times, whereas NiCDs
are only good for maybe 100 cycles.
