When I get home I have these partially depleted batteries that I have to test. Testing is a pain. If they are 1/2 charged or more I use them again, less than 1/2 I put them away for non-critical things - of which I don't have a lot. So now I have a pile of <1/2 charged AA batteries. Would I be able to put a rechargeable on the charger to top it up and keep using the same batteries, or do they lose their charge holding ability if not completely depleted before recharging? Using a battery until it is depleted or weak is just not an option for me.

Newer batteries don't seems to have the "memory" problem that older rechargeables had. Smart chargers help too. I took roughly 800 pictures on my DSLR during the Petit LeMans before I had to switch my AA rechargeable batteries.
