I'd also have to strongly discourage fully discharging the NiMh batteries. 

This is in fact one of the disadvantages of HID lights when compared to halogens.  With the HIDs, it will burn at full strength until the battery is completely dead.  With halogens, the intensity will decrease as the battery becomes discharged, allowing you to shut it off before damaging the battery pack. Wink

I'd also add that NiMh battery life is determined by the number of times it's charged and discharged.  While they don't technically develop a memory, they do gradually lose their overall capacity the more times they are cycled.
