shylo,
Isn't it amazing how long after they have been part of the charging process the batteries still continue to charge up? That's why waiting to let the batteries recover between test runs is so important. People don't realize that.
Oh, and I think Matt agrees with you about the pulse to charge the primaries. He's talked about building that circuit a few times and has done it for other builds.

Don Smith is nonchalantly discussing how he keeps batteries "charged up" while he uses them to power his devices. Below is a paraphrase from that video.
In regards to keeping the battery charged while under load.
“The way which I normally prefer is… calculating length of wire from the battery to the input, and to the device so its ¼ wavelength of the L1 coil.”
This radio frequency is kicked back by the diode to very effectively charge the battery with HF electricity while there is an outflow of dc current.
Kinda like Matt had us do with two diodes across the battery? So maybe we should be paying some attention to length of wires connecting things.
