Default RE: Close call with receiver battery

I put the dead pack on the charger for about 10 hours and had 1.3v under load. Tore the pack down and still had 3 dead cells and 1 at 1.3v. I'm going to give all the wiring a REAL close inspection before I load the new battery packs. Next, I'm going to buy a few lottery tickets 'cause I'm feeling lucky. I'll let you know Wednesday if I'm moving up to full scale. I have one more question and I'll quit flogging this horse. Should I cycle the new battery packs right out of the box or can I charge and fly a few times before I cycle them?

Thanks
