rather different, not difficult

Heading for the garage to look for my STS case....

Likely not. Difficult charging profile I suspect.

FWIW, here in the US, Sam's Club has had 8*Ni-MH AA+charger kits for US
$19.88 since last Christmas. The charger has a toggle for NI-CAD and NiMH
cells. Works great for my digital camera and Ni-MH supposedly good for
1000
cycles.

Can the Ni-MH batteries use the same charger?

If you open the battery case to repalce the cells you could usefully
consider replacing the nicads with Ni-MH which now come in up to 2 A-h
type in same physical size. I think the original nicads were 600mA-h
so you will get 3 times the battery life. Have you also done the mod
to put in a switch to turn the battery off? Otherwise the internal
clock runs the battery down in storage. Alternatively remove the
battery pack for storage.
