Depends on the battery chemistry. NiMH (which are by far the most common these days) don't have that problem to any significant extent. I'd suggest that a top-up before every day (or every dive depending on battery life) will be more successful than my method of carrying on using the old non-rechargeable's until they die (as described above).
