There are funny videos of people over-volting dead Nickel Cadmium (NiCd) batteries to fix them. I haven't tried this yet .. safety understood as a given ... They claim that this changes the chemistry back enough that a dead cell might work again. Basically you set pos to pos, neg to neg, but just do a few quick tap / zaps at over voltage. One guy set his arc welder to DC, then zapp zapp zaap to a dead 18volt power tool battery. It worked. (DC, buzz-box welders put out about 30 - 45 volts on DC setting, if I recall correctly.)
Before I zap my DeWalt batteries, was wondering what you all think ?
thanks
