I’m NO electronic wiz by any means and was a bit skeptical with this restoration technique. I tried it and it really works. I have discarded untold? number of rechargeable batteries because they no longer worked or held a charge.
This tip is amazing. I REALLY works.

good video; ? though how long do they hold then; thereafter? similar life per charge and number of possible charges or only good for a very short durration?

My problem was I needed to reactivate a 12v drill battery similar to the 1 you used for your ‘zapping’. I used the same principal as here with my car battery. Guess what – that works too. Brilliant! I was about to go buy a new drill as? new batteries are almost as expensive

I am wondering what is causing them to become alive again. I am guessing that there may? be some energy blockage inside the cell… perhaps even the one or more of the internal connections have slightly shorted.. and that the sparking with a higher voltage may create enough of an internal arch to mend the connections (re-soldering) through a form of induced arch welding? thoughts?

I wonder if this is what they refer to as crystalization through age.. and how a machine “re-conditions” the battery by melting away or zapping it away through use of heat generated by current? or perhaps it is a kind of internal arc welding? heat generated inside the battery that breaks down this “insulating” debri buildup material?

I have done a similar technique.. i pump a bit higher current/voltage in breifly and it kind of? does something that causes the cell to become alive again. I have only done this so far on Nickel Metal hydride so far.. I see someone has stated that they have gotten this to work on a sealed lead acid?

I am? thinking this might be like creating electrolisis.. which breaks down the bonds of the metal atoms?

it? works! I tried it on some dead batteries and they are working and charging again. Simple and FREE!!
