				Nicad Batteries Back to Life 
				 
					Nothing to do with 'Birds. on this post unless you carry NiCad powered tools. Short post to start... 
				
				
				
			Today I tried a procedure to bring a 14.4 volt NiCad tool battery back to life. The battery was dead, would not take a charge, measured zero voltage on the meter, and I was going to throw it out. After the first two steps the battery measured 13 + volts. Placing the battery in the battery charger until the light showed 'Charged', the battery now measures 16.6 volts. Placing the rejuvenated battery in the hammer drill, I don't believe the drill has every run that strong. Longevity remains to be tested. ÃÂ Anyone done anything like this before? I can post more if there is interest.ÃÂ ÃÂ ÃÂ Curt Sprenger 1987 PT38 8V92 "MacAttack Racing" Anaheim Hills, CA  |
