    *This battery reconditioning program exceeded my presumptions. It worked on any drill battery, several AA and AAA batteries, **batery.repair** and any camera battery. The steps are simple and the act itself is exciting to do. No matter what type of battery you`ve got, it is sure to function again!*

    Making use of the kzread.infoUgkxcJ22tnHH9l1vjdIdEIG27iOG55P7LXI8 reconditioning plan, I just saved 2 auto batteries from being completely junked. The guides were very simple to follow. I wish I would have found this years ago! You may use the guide to recondition any battery type

    It's amazing how well this bent wire trick works! Today I found myself trying to manually recharge a phone battery for my gf's mom as she seems to have somehow completely destroyed the charging port (pins are nowhere to be found...). I tried making a little jig with a right angle pinheader and breadboard but I couldn't get good contact. Tried the method shown here, bending wires into small hooks, pushing the battery up to them, then setting something heavy on top (I just used a small portable USB hard drive) and lo and behold it worked perfectly haha! Currently charging happily right now. Thanks for taking the time to post this!

    If you have any microchip controllers with the little spare sets of pin clip arrays, you can crack a few off and use them to line up with the pins since they're pretty rigid.

    Always obvious after we see. THANKS EcProjects. If you don't have a Power Station, PSU, you can use a 'AAA to AA converter', solder wires onto that, taping the wires onto the table and connect the battery. Put the 'AAA to AA converter' into a Li-Ion battery charger.

    Awesome trick. But you can easily do this without a variable DC bench power supply. Just take a USB data cable, cut the end which connects to your phone and strip some insulation at that end. Then connect the cable with a USB port/ wall charger that gives 5V DC output, connect the battery's positive terminal with the red wire of the data cable and negative terminal with the black one as shown in the video and you're done. I've revived some of my apparently dead Lithium batteries this way.

    This is how you can easily burn down a house or apartment building. Someone will connect the full power instead of data cable and that is the end of things. It would be a very easy mistake to make. Also some data lines put out only 1.2 volts.

    @@biggadfly What is a "full power"? Except the data transfer lines usb has +5V and GND. The 5V should do the job without problems, unless you overvoltage it - that's where watching over the charging process with multimeter or getting a charger circuit like TP4056 gets quite important.

    This will work with a power bank also if you don't have a bench supply. I charged a battery that my old phone could not charge. The battery contained a protection circuit and refused further charge at 3.90 volts, so it's quite safe.

Or eltric tape as so if the wires do come. Free you don't short across or in case both come free they don't touch an that be Ni good an Jake the standard,for cell bat is,0.5 an 3.7 v nomnail is. What most say. They are, 4.2. Is what. They realy are, standard so he set amp an volts, don't forget this is dc were messing with amp times volts give watts think that's right if not its volts times amp gives watts,
