| OK! well I know NIMH batteries don't suffer from the memory effect (yay) but I have tried for like 4 days to drain my KWAs battery and it wont die  is it ok if I leave it with charge? or is there a way to discharge it w/o having to fire because yea...im down to my last hundred rounds and I have to have ammo for next saturday (can't run up to the shop before practice) | |

| They work for NIMH's as well. I have the first one M14 linked, works fine on my both my NIMH's and NICAD's. I've charged two of my NIMH batteries a few times when they still had a charge on them, as far as i can tell it didn't hurt them. I'd only do it though if you have smart charger so it'll tell you when the battery is fully charged. | |

| yea I have a smart charger, I can't pick up a discharger for a while, so the NIMH should be fine though if I leave it? I have to leave it for like a week or so :\ | |

| Possibly; but a huge waste of Ammo/Time/Money. I think it'll be fine, my batteries have been through some NASTY stuff as a result of my Stupidity and Forgetfullness, and still get the job done well. Yes, I have noticed a difference in playing time, but it's only slightly noticable and my batteries have been through real GARBAGE.
Yours should be FINE if the worst you're doing to them is leaving them charged. | |

| I try to at least put my batteries on the smart charger once a week. Discharge then recharge. | |
