Do the cells you're using allow any "trickle"?  Most NIMH don't.

As to "memory effect", I went through that pretty thoroughly a few
years ago, it's wildly overblown.
A tiny dip in the discharge curve produced by repeatedly discharging
to the same point, and erased by simply discharging significantly
lower next time.
