When to Recharge my B65???

K.I.S.S....

Looking out for the long-term life of my B65 (SF 6V Rechargeable), should I recharge them as soon as I notice a drop in output in the light (i.e. My M60's run for about 1 hour on high, and then drops considerably a few seconds after I turn it on), or try to drain them a bit more, as to get more "high out-put" runtime???

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

It's a NiCd battery so you should pretty much run it all the way down before recharging.

Also, under the NiCD section of the chart, it mentions running it down to 1V/Cell...since the B65 has 4 cells heat shrinked together, once my B65 get's to ~4 volts, it should be considered "ran down"??? Thanks Again!
