Energizer NiMh 15 minute charger with other brand batteries?

I just bought a 15 minute Energizer NiMh battery charger.  So here's my question...

*** Can I safely charge Rayovac NiMh rechargable batteries in this energizer charger? ***

I have a 13 hour Radio Shack charger I've been using and can continue using for them (The Rayovac batteries) but I'd prefer to use the faster charger even if it doesn't charge as well.  15 minutes to 13 hours is worth it for me.  I appreciate any feedback.

i would only do it if they were the same amount of milliamp hours and same voltage (which i assume they would be for AA).
i believe those energizers are 2100mAh which is really high compared to other batteries, which means that there is a possibility that you would overcharge crappier batteries, but that would only happen if you left them in for the same amount of time.
i would try it but watch out incase they like blow up or something.
