Default NiMH Batteries: Long-Term Storage ?

Per Jeff Liebermann:
See section 3.2 on Pg 4:
http://www.battery-service.de/daten/nimh.pdf


Now *That* is a battery manual....

Thanks.

"When charging for the first time after long-term
storage, deactivation of reactants may lead to
increased battery voltage and decreased battery
capacity. Restore such batteries to original
performance by repeating several cycles of
charging and discharging."

I guess that explains the "Refresh" button on the SunLabz charger I got
for these things.
