There is no need to "train" a rechargeable battery. "Battery memory" is a myth that is ironically based on attempts to "train" batteries by over-discharging which can screw with the battery chemistry and reduce capacity.
This is really no longer a problem since modern electronics and even rechargeable batteries themselves have protective circuity built-in to prevent batteries from being overcharged or over-discharged, so it is almost impossible to damage a battery this way. The most likely culprit of your problem is simply a dud battery. I doubt it was caused by anything you did.
