Never discharge your batteries each time you are going to recharge them. Once a month allow the battery to fully discharge, then recharge it fully. This will help alleviate the problem of memory effect. In a way it is like exercising your battery to allow it to accept a full discharge. Memory effect will cause the battery to remember a discharge point and will think it needs to be recharged when it gets there, even if the battery is not really discharged.
