Superbulbs vs. NiMH\'s
I was reading in another forum where a few users were talking about flashing new superbulbs with recently-charged NiMH's. I was thinking about that and also thinking about voltage graphs I had seen on here and it occurred to me that freshly-charged AA NiMH's might read 1.4V or so to start even though under heavy load they would drop to 1.2V at something like 5-10% of their life.
I was wondering if it would make sense for people with sensitive devices to have some way to partially drain the cells right after charging. Maybe stick the batteries in your Gerber LX3 for 5 minutes after charging or something like that.
