Now do I have to discharge the pack before I can recharge it?

I know with some you must "kill" them before recharging so you can keep the long life of the pack so the charge life stays close to the same as when it was first charged..

NiMh batts don't have the memory effect of NiCads so discharging them is not required.

A full discharge/recharge cycle will give you optimum performance but the difference is very small.

In fact, it's important to not COMPLETELY discharge them - an electronic discharger will ALMOST discharge them.
