Generally speaking, Ni-MH batteries do not suffer from the "memory effect" and don't require conditioning. I do this to ensure top performance, I discharge and recharge once for every ten charges. For Nickel Cadmium (Ni-Cd) batteries, conditioning is recommended every time you charge your batteries.
The only thing that will really hurt Ni-MH batteries is over-charging thembecause they will self-discharge if left unused. Generally, within 30 to 60 days, batteries will become completely drained. When using them, you will need to first recharge them. After extended storage, you may need to condition the batteries several times to regain nominal performance...
