After about 8 years using dozens of NiMh cells I have now had a single failure of one of the early AA cells where normal charging wouldnt pull it back. I did the old capacitor discharge trick we used to use on NiCd cells and that worked immediately. (32,000uF I tried set @12v) Anyone had experience with prognosis for such a cell? Self discharge rate higher than normal? Subsequent failures? Charlie+
