	We were orginally discussing "wet-cell" batteries..you
must keep them charged...never let them get totally discharged
before you recharge.
	You are correct when we are discussing rechargeable dry
batteries. You must toally discharge them to get maximum recharge.
I hope this clearifies the confusion.
