Answer. NiMH batteries – like any rechargeable battery – will self-discharge if left unused. Generally, within 30 to 60 days, batteries will become almost completely drained. When using them, you will need to first recharge them. After extended storage, you may need to cycle them several times just as you would for their first time use or even condition the batteries several times to regain normal performance.
