1) Pulse charge and it will return to full energy if it
is
still in infancy .

Never deep cycle any battery . Batterys die for being NOT
fully
charged . Leave them discharged is to shorten life .

Nonsense. NiCDs and NiMH batteries love to be discharged.

Agreed.

That's
the only way to store them for long periods.

That's wrong.
They should be stored CHARGED.
Do you have any cites for your claim?

With my Johnson walkie talkies with the42 year old NiCads, i charge
some every year or two. I have never found them totally dead.
