I wouldn't. You could wind up damaging the batteries by using the wrong charger or even face a fire hazard. You need a charger that is designed for the specific battery type you have. Some chargers are what is called "smart" chargers and can charge any of the various types of rechargable batteries, but your charger doesn't seem to be one of those.

Make sure your fire insurance is paid up. No, don't do it.
