Old Power Tool Batteries

[Guard Dad]

If you guys have any that are bad, let me know. I ran across a trick for fixing them and it seems to work with fairly good success. I had a pile of old ones and so far I've fixed about half of them.

do you care to share? I have about 5 of them that I could try it on.

You can use a welder or another source of 36-40 volts. Being sure to observe polarity, tap the battery terminals 10-12 times with the higher voltage. That rejuvenates some of the batteries.

I have an electric golf cart with 6-6 volt batteries (36 volts) that I used as a power source. A DC welder will work too.

So far, I've zapped 4 Ryobi and 1 DeWalt batteries back to life.

Note: Wear eye and preferably face protection when you do it. And don't reverse polarity.

Oh my word, you are talking way to complicated for me. I thought you were going to say "pour lemon juice on them" or "tap it 10 times with a hammer". I didn't know you were going to get a nuclear physicist with me. How bout I take a road trip to your house. lol
