Default Anybody know much about rechargable batteries?

I got some 2500ma/h NiMh AA batteries for my digital camera and all was well for a while. Charged both sets of batteries last week and store them in the camera back out of the camera. Went to use it just now and both sets are flat as a pancake

Is this normal as I'm sure they never used to do this

The camera may be taking a small charge when in it turned off my digi cam is shocking on battery use! I usually leave them out of the camera fully charged until I come to use the camera, cant leave it on standby for long either
