It used to be a regular whinge on here (including by me) that NiMH batteries failed too regularly.
I had one fail today, and it's the first time this year. I took a new one from the box of spares, and there are still 6 more left. I last bought some (8) in early 2011. I always use like with like pairs, and use chargers with separate channels for each cell, but no more care than that, and the newest ones are ReCyco brand Low Self Discharge ones.
Have I just been lucky or are other people finding these things more reliable than they once were?
