My Posts This: Topic Forum | on nicad and nimh yes it is a good idea to discharge them down to almost nothing especially nicads. The reason is because they hold and retain a memory. Meaning that if you only use 75% of the pack and then re-charge it, eventually the battery memory of the pack will think that 75% is full capacity. You will also notice the rc car drivers will "peak" their pack right before a race. This gives it a little extra boost and it is better if the packs a warm when you start a race, this will add extra punch. A lot of the car guys are slowly converting over to lipo batteries.
Leave it to us heli guys to start a trend
