I have also seen it happen...running wet cell NiCad's for a back up
source of power for cesium beam frequency standards. These units we
periodically discharged and recharged as a preventative maintenance
procedure, and they did develop memory. The fix was to vary the
preventative maintenance discharge time/amount. H/P factory support
helped us solve this problem. Doug K7ABX

I remember that in HP freq standards, too, Doug.

What lab do/did you work in? I'm a metrologist, too.
