When charging a new NiMH receiver pack for the first time, is there any special procedure required?

With either NiMh or NiCad, you should always do two or three forming charges. This is charging the battery for 15 to 16 hours at a rate of 0.1C followed by a discharge at about 1/4C. This should be done on all new batteries or batteries that have been stored or inactive for a prolonged period. Prolonged is a debatable time but usually 1 month or more of inactivity.
