the key thing is that the general electrical characteristics of the cells are known when you specify nicad, nimh, lead acid, etc. the only thing apparently different about these nimh in question is the very long term self discharge. the main parameters of them like charging, voltage, discharge voltage curve under load, etc would be the same as any other nimh from what I read.
