Discharging Batteries without Special Charger?

@killswitch

I thought charging them in that state would not be good

I dont know why you think that…

btw, have you measured the Voltage?

see if this helps

Remarkable Eneloops

A few years back a local Radio Shack called it quits and offered some really low prices as they closed out. Among the stuff was a number of Eneloops in AA and AAA, for $2 per pack of eight. Needless to say, I made a bit of a hog of myself. The only concern I had was that they’d been in a hot sunny display window long enough to have faded the packaging somewhat, but I bought them anyway. I’ve used some, but several packs ended up languishing unused in my battery box ever since. Forward to today…
