How long they will retain a useable charge is entirely dependant on the duty cycle....meaning how long in transmit, recieve, and stand-by. So that could vary significantly. Need more info as to the duty cycle to be able to answer the question.

Well, it also depends on the batteries' capacities.
Which Ni-Cd?
Which Ni-Mh? NNTN4435B is going to last less than an RNN4007AR on the same duty cycle.
If you give us a bit more info, we can chime in with our experiences. My 4007 goes for about 33 hours before the low battery chirp comes on at 10% remaining capacity on my XTS5K, but I TX very little - maybe 5 minutes total in a day.

Also some things to consider with battery life:
Battery condition, as far as "memory" if applicable
Quality of recharger - How well it actually recharges the battery
Battery connection. This may sound dumb but if your battery doesnt get a good connection with the charger/radio, this can affect performance, can lead to a false reading of low voltage and end up in inefficient recharging.

Can these all be used with a impress charger or will damage to the charger occur?

No problem with these in a Impress Charger. They will charge pretty much anything.....
