My MFJ-259B has NiMH batteries, and I set the internal plug to trickle
charge them.
Most of the time, it just sits in its place on the bench, connected to a
12 volt wall-wart to keep them topped up. No problem after 3 years.
Yes, the same set of batteries have been used that way. The capacity of
the batteries may have reduced over time, but they are still sufficient
for my needs (an hour or less in the antenna field).
When those batteries no longer fill that need, I will put in new NiMH, I
have already gotten my money's worth out of them.

These were Energizers that leaked!
I just take them out now and go thru the pain of the install later.
