Hi everyone. I bought a Panasonic BQ-390 charger with my Digital Camera earlier this year. It has 4 Panasonic AA's that are 1950 mAh. I am not having a problem with these batteries, but I found a different set of 5 Ni-MH's from an Audiovox FRS radio base station that I would also like charged. I thought they were lead-acid at first (why I don't know) but they are actually Ni-MH too. So my question is this: Can I charge these Audiovox batteries in the Panasonic Charger? They are only 1300 mAh, but I don't think that's a concern. I'm pretty sure all that matters is the output voltage of the charger, which is 1.5V DC @ 550 mA (it says "550mA x 4" on the charger, so this probably means that each battery is charged independently, making this a smart charger?).
Will I damage the charger or create a fire hazard? I had looked on the FRS radio's wall adapter to see its output voltage, but I forgot what it said.
Thank you!
