Just don't leave them discharged or fully charged for more than a few days.
I have two Nimh 1600mah rx packs by Orion, and I always charge both the evening before along with the glow starter. I then use 1 pack for practice and 4 rounds of qualifying - then by this point I know they're flat as from experience, 5th run and the servo's die. So I put the other RX pack in for the finals. Then for the next meeting I use the pack I used in the last finals for qualifying - so to rotate how im using the cells.
I never discharge, although it'd probably be of benefit to discharge, cool, then charge rather than just charging.
The glow starter I just peak up each week, ive never flattened it or put any thought into the condition of the cell. I charge both my RX packs and Glowstarter at 2amps, minimum mv cutoff on Pulsar3.
Are you coming to Biggin next week Dave?
