I was under the impression that nicads should be dischareged
completely in order to maintain their full capacity.  (and avoid
"memory" effects)  Someone mentioned to me that discharging them
completely was harmful for some unkown reason.  They used a resistor
and a diode in series to deep discharge them to about 0.6 volts.  Does
anyone have any ideas about this?  (I though t discharging them to 0
volts was good...)
