nimh batteries died?

[What's_nitro?]

Yeah maybe. Large currents can actually help revive cells because it breaks up the clusters inside the cell that have accrued over time.

I still run a lot with NiMhs - a yr is a long time to sit, it'll take a while to get them back as far as they're going to recover. You should be encouraged they are doing as well as they are so soon. Implies the Elites are pretty decent cells.
