Tips for using rechargeable NiMH Batteries

It is important to note that new NiMH batteries need to be cycled 3-5 times before they hold a FULL charge. This doesn't mean charged 3-5 times in a row but rather over the first 3-5 cycles the batteries will hold a better charge each time until they take a full charge.

NiMH batteries will self-discharge if left unused. Generally, within 30 to 60 days.

Do not close the cover ( if your NiMH Battery Charger has one ) while your batteries are charging. It is best to allow any heat to dissipate as much as possible.
