On a side note, are you familiar with the Maha 9000 charger? It's for AA/AAA and lets the user select the current input, amongst many other things. It's a great little charger for properly charging cells and extending their life.

The problem wasn't self discharging, it was their lower voltage output, so we'll see.
Looked at many chargers, some costing hundreds of dollars. Purchased the basic Sanyo charger until the batteries prove themselves to be of value.
