They will always gain a bit of performance after a few cycles of non-use, but when they are that far gone, it will never be enough. I just retired some Hyperion G3's I had since spring 2009, only because they had not been used in a long time. They never really lost much performance, they still have a pack iR of 5-6 mohm vs. 4 mohm when new... they lost capacity mostly, and they lost it unevenly is the main thing (2 3s packs in series for 6s), so I can't use them together; other than that, they have plento power.
