This is exactly why we stopped putting normal NiMH in things like video projector remotes in conference rooms. They discharge too quickly under no-load use -- and we were always getting calls that the remotes/projectors didn't work. We've switched to eneloops at work and that is all I use now for almost anything I have. Great life through vacations in a 4-AA Canon camera and 2-AA Garmin eTrex.
