Newbie: Can I use any charger with any battery?

[SimonMTL]

I have a 36V10Ah lithium-ion battery (that includes a BMS) that I need to recharge. Unfortunately, the charger for it is not working well. I also have a 36V NiMH charger and a 36V lead-acid charger lying around. Could either one of those be used to safely charge up my li-ion battery, if the Amp output of the charger is not too high?

I tried to find the answer on the forums but I'm not sure if I read the answers properly. It seemed that a Lead-acid charger could do it?

Thanks for any answer.

Simon.

Sla chargers can be used with lifepo4. I don't think they can be used with lithium polymer. Nimh is just for Nimh only.
