@dracorjr Technically, NiMH batteries do not have a "memory effect", but strictly speaking neither do NiCds. However NiMH batteries can experience voltage depletion, also called voltage depression, similar to that of NiCd batteries, but the effect is normally less noticeable. To completely eliminate the possibility of NiMH batteries suffering any voltage depletion effect manufacturers recommend an occasional, complete discharge of NiMH batteries followed by a full recharge.
I always try to use them until the light goes out. Only after that will I recharge. However, because I do want to use it more, I'll take it out before it's topped off. I'm assuming this is THE way the make the batteries last. If I'm wrong, correct me please!
What I'm saying is, the only downside is [that I am] taking it out before it's topped off (not sure if that's bad). What you seem to be saying is, try to discharge at least once a month.
And yeah, I keep it without peripheral vision when charging so it won't ever go over a couple of hours when being fully charged (=topped off). So far it hasn't gone minutes, but I've had it for a week or so :)
Solid red means it's charging.

In reference to the "memory effect" that Lithium ion batteries are prone to doesn't effect NiMH batteries that the MFLB is shipped with.

Yeah, I have a new charger too. Is it solid red for charging and blue for fully charged? I don't want to screw up my batteries.

Discharging, good tip, thanks. Marked my batteries the other day, finally.
