I only once tried charging a nicad battery with a charger meant for lithium 
ion, or the other way around, I forget which and all it did was the battery 
never took a charge right or wrong again. I've known a couple people to ruin 
chargers and batteries pretty spectacularly that way though so I don't think 
I'd try it.
