haven't had an issue with a discharge cycle on any of my NiMH batteries.
The TLP-15 stops before it is fully discharged or goes into polarity reversal. (yeah I had to look it up to remember)
Now, you don't want to be doing a discharge cycle with NiMH all the time but I haven't had any adverse affects or longevity issues with the occasional discharge.
Lithium-Ion batteries are the ones that like to be charged and topped up 100% all the time. ie Cell phone and camera batteries.
