I wasn't thinking so much of the memory effect (which I know NiMH batteries
have fewer problems with) but more of the total lifetime of the battery,
i.e. do such batteries "wear out" more quickly if they're consistently run
until drained/dead as opposed to being recharged prior to that point?
Thanks,
