Default RE: Battery "cycling"?? what, why, when?

ORIGINAL: CGCOMM3RET
Needless to say, I had to convince my command that we needed to purchase new batteries for the radios and a special charger that would automatically cycle the batteries every time they were plugged in. After I implemented this procedure at my command, we were routinely getting 15 - 20 hours of battery life from our Nicds.
You bought new batteries............ Of course they will last longer. [X(]
