Default NIMH Battery Cycling advice.

1200mah/ 6.0V NIMH battery powering Futaba S 3010s on a SIG Four Star 60.
******I've heard you need to cycle batteries to get better performance. I don't have a cycler so I just hooked the battery up at home and periodically checking battery indications on a load bearing checker. I realize this isn't the perfect way to do it but that's all I can do right now.
QUESTION: HOW LOW SHOULD I CYCLE THIS BATTERY DOWN TO BEFORE I BEGIN A TRICKLE CHARGE BACK UP TO FULL CHARGE?
