Rechargeable Battery Tip#1:
When storing NiMH rechargable Batteries for any length of time, you should try make sure that you recharge them at least every 30 days. Failing to recharge your batteries regularly could eventually cause your rechargeable batteries to no longer accept a charge, thus making them totally useless if left in an uncharged state for very long.

Always be sure to store your rechargable nickel metal hydride batteries in a charged state.

Charge your stored rechargeable batteries at least every 30 days or so in order to keep your batteries in tip top shape, even if you do not use them.

Rechargeable Battery Tip#2:
NiMH Rechargeable Batteries are great for Flash units due to their very fast recovery times between flashes.

Rechargeable Battery Tip#3:
Lower capacity rechargeable AA batteries -1700 up to 2000mAh mAh can be recharged up to 1000 times in overnight slow charge mode. 2100 to 2400 mAh rechargeable batteries can be recharged up to 600 to 800 times in overnight slow charge mode. The new Higher Capacity AA 2500 mAh rechargeable batteries have greater storage capacity but can be recharged approx up to 500 times in the overnight mode. Capacity improvement or Quick charging will always decrease the number of cycles. Every rechargeable battery cell available on the market above 2200 mAh will normally have below 1000 charge cycles.
