So, I've got this fancy-schmancy smart charger and some new LSD AA's (AccuEvolution) which had apparently been sitting on the shelf for awhile as they were pretty low when I took them out of the package and put them in my camera. So, I popped them into the charger and put them in the "Refresh" mode, which supposedly charges, discharges, and continues to do so until the batteries won't hold a greater charge anymore.

So, after a full day of that, the power goes out for a few minutes while they're on the charger, and I have a wedding to shoot tomorrow (which, as I explained to Frank in an unrelated message, is not as a "wedding photographer" but as a friend of the bride who owns a camera). I'm just wondering if it would be wise or stupid to just let them charge in the normal "Charge" mode now without them having completed the "Refresh" cycle.

I've been surprised at how little quality information I've been able to find on the web about properly charging LSD batteries. I don't know if I'm just not using the right keywords, or what. I figured with all the portable gadgets that require AA and AAA batteries these days, there'd be thousands of good sites with a wealth information. But, I'm apparently wrong, or just not looking for the right thing.

Any advice info or advice anyone can give me will be much appreciated.
