I've bought a battery charger Technoline BC-700.
The charger looks pretty nice, it performs nice but looks it has an handicap.
If you have any battery that is below 0.9v (or 0.5v, can't remember) of capacity/voltage (whatever you want to call it), it won't charge it, aparently a measure of security, don't know why...
Although there is a trick that can be easly made to recharge "dead" batteries/cells.
So:
Unplug the BC-700.
Place a good cell and the dead on side-by-side in the BC-700
Short the "+" of both cells with a paper clip, for example, for a few seconds.
Remove the short.
Plug the BC-700 again and it should start charging the dead cell.
Although, it's not working for me. I have a low/cheap quality cell that appears to be dead. After i short the "+" sides, the "null" keeps showing up in BC-700 LCD.
Anyone knows inwhat conditions a cells can ever be revived???
