Any of the modern lipo charger would charge nicad or nimh just fine, the high dollar ones might do 0.01v increments but depends if its necessary.

I have a pack of old matched nimh that I thought ill try with my new charger for shit and giggles and wouldnt hold more than a few hundred mah. After a few charge/discharge cycles I was able to bring the pack closer to its rated (2600 out of 3000mah) capacity.

Mark is right tho, if your just going to buy a charger just to resurrect your packs, then dont bother, Might as well get some modern batteries while your at and stick those in your old cars.
