Rechargeable Battery Applications
A rechargeable battery (also known as a storage battery) is a group of one or more secondary cells that use electrically reversible electrochemical reactions. Rechargeable batteries come in many different sizes and use different combinations of chemicals.
Commonly used secondary cell ("rechargeable battery") chemistries are lead acid, nickel cadmium (NiCd), nickel metal hydride (NiMH), lithium ion (Li-ion), and lithium ion polymer (Li-ion polymer).
Rechargeable batteries can offer economic and environmental benefits compared to disposable batteries. Some rechargeable battery types are available in the same sizes as disposable types (eg. AA, AAA, CR123A). While the rechargeable cells have a higher initial cost, rechargeable batteries can be recharged many times. Proper selection of a rechargeable battery system can reduce toxic materials sent to landfills compared to an equivalent series of disposable batteries. For example, battery manufacturers of NiMH rechargeable batteries claim a service life of 100-1000 charge cycles for their batteries.
New low self discharge batteries allow users to purchase rechargeable battery that already hold about 70% of the rated capacity, allowing consumers to use the batteries immediately and recharge later.
Grid energy storage applications use industrial rechargeable batteries for load leveling, where they store electric energy for use during peak load periods, and for renewable energy uses, such as storing power generated from photovoltaic arrays during the day to be used at night. By charging batteries during periods of low demand and returning energy to the grid during periods of high electrical demand, load-leveling helps eliminate the need for expensive peaking power plants and helps amortize the cost of generators over more hours of operation.
Rechargeable batteries currently are used for applications such as automobile starters, portable consumer devices, light vehicles (such as motorized wheelchairs, golf carts, electric bicycles, and electric forklifts), tools, and uninterruptible power supplies. Emerging applications in hybrid electric vehicles and electric vehicles are driving the technology for a rechargeable battery to improve cost, reduce weight, and increase lifetime.

Can I mix up different brands of NiMH rechargeable batteries and chargers?
One system has 1 hour charger and the other takes 18 hours. If batteries are no different besides the brands, I would love to charge all batteries using the one hour charger to save time.
NO!
While NiMH and NiCd charge the same, the big difference is the battery construction.
If you have rapid charge batteries, you can charge them at the standard rate, you can also charge them at the rapid charge rate... HOWEVER, if you have Standard charge batteries, you CANNOT charge them at the rapid charge rate.
All batteries: standard 1/C for 10 hours
Rapid charge only at the fast charge rate.
IF all batteries are rapid charge, you can mix brands since the physical construction is the same.
