What is the story on running your batteries down? I know the old ones pretty much required it. I saw guys take batteries that someone else had tossed and go through multiple cycles of discharge and recharge and bring them back to near full life. Then the manufacturers came out w/ a new technology that the eliminated the "memory" of the previous genereation. However I know guys that still drain their batteries to zero and it does not seem to have any ill effects. I guess I don't know if it helps anything but it certainly doesn't seem to hurt.
