I have batteries and charger maybe 10 years old that were seldom used. Charged them up the other day for a TV remote and one went dead in a couple of days and others only lasted a couple of weeks.
I'm reading they may have finite lifetimes. Will I be wasting time trying to rejuvenate them?
Kind of stuff I saw on googling. Probably beating a dead horse with these batteries and wonder if new generation of NiMH are any better. Don't mind tossing the batteries but hate to also have to toss the charger.
What's special about these batteries?

Can be recharged over a thousand times. They do lose about 2% charge each month just sitting around. Lithium ion are better but cost more and voltage is higher than you would want in the AA batteries in my remote.
With the remote I'm using batteries might last 4 months. Voice recognition on the remote is disabled before the batteries give out. Buttons on the remote also light up even on picking it up.
We also keep stocks of all kinds of non-rechargeable batteries.
