I've had some NiMH AA's that sat around for too long and they were at ~.5v and wouldn't hold their mAh rating. Doing the c/10 charge method worked, but did take a few cycles to get them back up to par.

Don't know muhc about matching/zapping, but IIRC, zapping is charging at high currents (C*2 or something like that) discharging at ~30A, and then charging again at high currents. Matching is simply grouping together the cells with the same zapped voltage.
