When you buy brand new rechargeable Ni-MH batteries there is a little know aspect about them people miss.
It takes about 6-8 recycling times before your new batteries can hold their full rated charge.
So don't give up on them just yet.
Keep recharging and discharging them a good few times.
Also if you plan to put your rechargeable batteries into a gadget that is not automatically recharged every day. Then go for the new 'hybrid' or 'stay-charged' version of Ni-MH as these don't lose charge every day (or night) they're not used.
So no point in putting these new types into cordless telephones. But do use use them in devices in which you don't recharge until the batteries are exhausted like cameras, wireless headphones, etc.
Your devices will run longer and because you're not recharging them until you need to, they last twice as long as normal rechargeables.
The battery industry is still oddly quiet about these new types, so this is a good tip to save money in the long term and have less hassle.
Two things for the Gadget TV Folk to tell people about...?
