Hello there everybody!!
I just read that Ni-MH batteries should not be discharged below 1.0 volts. While discharging(a single 1.2v cell) with a DC motor, the voltage across the terminals went down to 0.4 volts. BUT. after leaving it alone for around an hour, the open circuit voltage measured 1.13v. Is this alright, or should I stop discharging it when the "voltage across the terminals(while discharging)" is 1.0v??
