Makita 18V nimh batteries replace nicd?

Looking to replace batteries for my old Makita 18V stuff. I’m pretty sure I can replace all the old Nicd with the new Nimh but I wanted to check here for sure. Anyone know?
Thx in advance,
Bill

You need to see if they use the same shape and factor.
And you will need to check the charger, unless it is realatively new (after they started supplying the NIMH batteries) it will probably need to be replaced.
