You all need to read the link I posted. It explains how to recondition Nickle based batteries. It also explains the failure mechanism and why this works.
I did read it, Paul. The Cadex info is old science, and is mainly relevant to old-style nicads from decades ago. The Hybridshop data is 99% marketing eyewash, written to sound wonderful.
As I said, *any* battery's capacity will temporarily improve just by cycling it deeper than it is usually cycled. But the improvement won't last. If all you're trying to do is eke a little more life out of a pack, that may be sufficient. But you're paying a high price for that small extension.
