Discharging is something you can do, but being overzealous about it is a great way to break your battery. I've never discharged a single NiCd battery in my life, and the only time I've ever had a loss in battery voltage is when I've used trickle chargers and accidently let the battery overcharge.
If you're stuck with a trickle charger, I guess keep an eye on it. Or you can be smart and use a FAST* charger that STOPS** charging when the battery is back to full. A charger like that is one of the single greatest things you can do to maintain an AEG. Unless you enjoy tossing your battery and buying a new one now and then. * slow chargers mean larger cadmium crystals***, which is bad ** overcharging reduces the voltage potential *** THAT is the only reason to cycle a battery, and even still, you wouldn't want to do the whole battery (only the cell in question) |
