The big secret is to buy "pre-charged" NiMH batteries.
Normal NiMH batteries will self-discharge in a fairly short period.
Low-self-discharge batteries will hold a charge for a long time, and can
be sold as "pre-charged" so the consumer can buy the rechargeable
batteries they want and not have to buy "temporary" alkalines.
Eneloops are considered to be the best, certainly the most well known.

Put in a new set of NiMh cells and all seems OK. Use of NiMh seems to be a
discussion issue, but over here in Denmark we have a limited range at
reasonable prices. We don't have all the brands and types as in USA.
