Ansmann Rechargeables 2500mah

sorry this isn't really relevant, just wondered (as I know plenty of posters here use them) if it's ok to recharge these batteries even if they're only half drained.

It's just, say i were going on a long journey, I would like to know whether I'm going to have to allow myself time to drain and recharge them before i depart.

the instructions don't give many clues.

When they are brand new they should be cycled a few times. After that it doesnt matter, and you can charge them whenever you need to.

A similar issue now the topic exists , I bought 2500mAh rechargables the day I got my Gp2x, and after the set that came with the machine ran out I couldn't wait any longer and took out the batteries at a 3/4th of the first charge cycle. I did ponder taking them out but I couldn't imagine todays technology not being prepared for a 'common' action like taking them out halfway the charge. ..right? h34r:

i would imagine it won't make much difference, but after a number of times doing this the batteries may not reach there optimum charge until you do a proper discharge-charge to restore them

yeah for the most part most batteries are pretty robust. Its pretty hard to hurt them.
