I'm fairly new to NiMH batteries but from what I understand they do require some routine maintenance (run a "break-in" every 20-30 use cycles) and benefit from a good charger with proper termination, charging rates, etc. Here's a great thread about the Maha C9000 charger with information that applies to all NiMH batteries. I'm re-reading that thread now to try and get the best performance out of my Eneloops. Good luck.
