So I got out my predator call tonight that had not been used since last March and thought I would recharge the batteries. It has 8 AA NiMH batteries in it. They are Energizer 2300 mAh batteries that at the most have been charged a half dozen times and they were new a year ago. Of the 8 batteries, only 2 will take a charge. Does this type of battery have to be periodically charged in order to keep them working? Just wondering what I did wrong. Guess I will just have to buy another set of them. Any insight on how to avoid this in the future would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for your advice Jared
