Default NiCad help

I have a couple of 7.2-V 150 mah nicads that have not been used much, I charged them a week ago to fly a small fanfold plane that I made but didn't get to fly until this morning and the batteries didn't have enough charge left to run the motor, the bec kept kicking in and shuting it down.

Could I have ruined them by topping them off a few times or do they loose that much power over a short period of time.
Is there a simple way to test the batteries or should I just write them off.

Thanks,

Eflyer
