I never trusted any of my NiCad batteries and that has carried forward to my NiMH. I always check at the pre-flight.
But I have to say I have had very good luck with 1450 and 2000 mAh HydriMax packs. I double cycle all of my battery packs a couple times a year. My most flown models I keep on wall-wart chargers on a timer equipped powerstrip and give then an hour of charge every day.
