Has anyone reconditioned their cell phone battery to its original or close to original life span?  I have to charge mine every other day now, it used to last several days to a week when new.  If you have been able to restore its charged "life span", please let me know how I can do it.  My battery is the Motorola BC60, used in the "Sliver".

Thanks,
Mark

Laptop batteries like the fridge. Might be different for cell phone batst.

Pulse or burp charging the battery may be a good way to restore it, granted, the pulsing may free up some crystals or what have you on the inside, it's better to restore the charge afterward with a normal charge cycle.

You may even try a complete discharge, followed by pulsing, then charging.

This would be a fairly cheap open source project....

What I know so far is that if you take two like batteries from a dewalt drill and hook them together it will revive a non working dead battery that will not take a charge.

so the steps are:

charge good battery to full
hook up both batteries for 15 seconds
disconnect and let sit for 15 minutes
put dead battery in charger
Repeat these steps until battery takes a charge.

dewalt nicad 14.4v and 18v tested

infringer approved it works in some cases.

WARNING please use extreme caution when messing with batteries do not carry out any of these tests without proper knowledge and safety measures eye protection skin and face protection required and a fire extinguisher etc... are needed.

I refuse to accept responsibility for any injuries from your own tests.
