I have a rechargeable razor that presently has NiCad batteries in it. They are leaking and I wanted to replace them. I have some Ni-MH batteries and thought about using them. Will they work? Thought I would ask before I soldered them in.

The batteries have different characteristics and different purposes too. However, for a low power application like a razor, they should be fine. Make sure that your charger is compatible. Some say Ni Cad only some are NiCad and Mh

Don't know if the charger is compatible. It's a rechargeable razor.

It's worth a try since the other batteries are going bad. Worse thing would be they won't charge but I bet they do.

Unless the charger causes the batteries to leak in the razor ruining the razor itself.

OP stated "They are leaking".

And replacing with the incorrect ones could also leak worse.

How about Lithium Ion?

I tried 3 convenient stores and all I could find were ni-mh so I bought them and soldered them in and all seems to work fine. Charger light is working as well. Thanks for help all!

Good deal.

I have used Harbor Freight NI-Mh batteries where Ni-Cd were used and they work the same. I think the voltage is a tad lower but for most uses works the same. Hope it works well.
