I have several sets of older batteries though that really die down quickly after being charged - even if its only been a week between charges. they also die pretty quickly in the camera, but seem to perform adequately flashes.
So much for some of the longevity claims (like, "rechargeable up to 1,000 times"). I bought these 2 1/2 years ago when I got the Nikon CP990. I'm sure they have not been charged close to 1,000 times (that would be roughly one charge daily, every day since I got them) - probably no more than 200 - 300 times, max, but they certainly show the wear. I can get maybe 50 shots off with the *ist D on a set of the old batteries before the low batter light comes one.

I have 4 or 5 sets of NiMh batteries that I use in my *ist D and AF360 flash. My question is, how often should they be recharged if not used for awhile?
