hey guys, i finally sucked it up and joined the rechargable battery team. i pick up 4 rat shack 1800mah ni-MH batteries, just wondering whats the best way to charge/cycle these bad boys, i have never used rechargables really, so any information is pertinent, thanks everyone.

Uhmmmmm... :P
Charge: put 'em in the charger and plug it in.
Discharge: put 'em in a device, turn it on, and wait, or put 'em in the charger and press the discharge button.
Cycle = full discharge + full charge. See above. I cycle mine every month or so just for kicks.

Don't think the Rat Shack chargers have a discharge option. At least mine didn't.

flashlight works best. Also my digi camera with the screen left of will run them down pretty quick.
