In between races at Brands yesterday, the conversation turned to cordless batteries and how mine are losing their charge very quickly, is it time to replace them? (And what a price!)
No, said Glen, re-energise them.
He reckons that if I connect the positive terminal to a positive 12v source (like a car battery charger) and briefly strike the negative to the negative terminal 8-10 times it will re-energise the battery. I can then recharge it in the normal way. He says he has done this, and it works, but in this case Mr Internet has not been my buddy and I can't find any references to this.
Does anyone know if this works?
