It is a-ok to recharge at any time as long as it is cooled off and hopefully your charger is a "peak detect" charger that will turn off when batt is full. Once in a great while it may be beneficial to run the battery nearly dead.

Yes, it's fine to recharge while the battery still has juice, but keep an eye on the battery and make sure it doesn't over heat....this is a perfect example on why to own a charger that has the discharger feature (think that's what it's called)

so do nimh, but to a much lesser degree. You would double the useful life of it if you discharged it properly each time, but like others say, it doesn't really matter, I don't do it either.
