I do check them with a voltmeter, before/after, and they work fine in
other applicances.
I've got a whole collection; some old, some brand new.

That would be logical, except that I do check them.
The mystery is this: a NIMH can *never* be higher than about 1.25V,
which represents a pretty flat alkalike battery. So, how did the NIMH
ones ever work in the first place? I've done whole 2-week holidays on
one set of them.
