Of course, but you have to get back up to speed whether you use motor or mechanical brakes. It's obvious that the amount you put back in during braking will be FAR less than you use to accelerate, but a few more mAh is a few more mAh, and maybe a couple seconds more runtime.
Believe me, the intent of the original post was not to start a heated debate about gains in runtime using motor braking. It was just me playing around and tinkering. But, I have seen several posts in the past where this question was asked, so I thought it would be nice to have a tested result instead of theorized.
