Hello,



It came to my attention that some battery manufacturers advertise their NiMH cells as memory effect free. Is this really the case? Should I just quit deep discharging my cells after a while?



For example, Rayovac Hybrid states no memory effect on this page:

http://ca.rayovac.com/recharge/hybrid_batteries.shtml



Or... Kodak under Technical details: http://www.amazon.com/Kodak-8909012-.../dp/B0000E3GWI



And they aren't the only ones. Have you experienced drop and afterwards gain in capacity on cells that are claimed not to have memory effect?
