Subj: Rejuvenating NiMH cells??

Hi All,

I've recently rebuilt the battery pack on my mobile phone. This was built
from 4 AAAL NiMH cells (1/3 longer than AAA). I got some new cells for
only 6.50ukp and so 45mins with a Stanley knife and soldering iron later I
now have a battery pack which will power the phone for 4 1/2 days instead
of just about a day. 

I've got 4 old NiMH cells left. I was wondering if they could be
rejuvenated in anyway. Over the years I've had reasonable success
rejuvenating NiCd cells which have lost their ability to hold a charge.
I've always used the big current pulse method which seems remarkably
effective, I guess I must have had over 75% success rate. But I've never
seen anything mentioned about NiMH cells.

Before I try any NiCd measures on them I was wondering if anybody had
tried anything and what success they'd had?
