Figured it was time for a new battery so I bought a 9.6v 1600mah NiMH battery which is currently charging. Now, I've heard that with a new NiCAD you're supposed charge it fully, then drain it fully. Since NiMH have no memory, do I really have to do this? It's been charging for a while, and I just want a quick sample of the goods. I mean, I could wait a few hours more for it to charge fully, but I'm currently short on patience. Any help appreciated. Thanks.
