Lithium-ion batteries<\/a>, also called Li-on batteries are a great choice for all sorts of electronics like camcorders and laptops. Here\u2019s a lowdown on how to recondition lithium battery at home.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. You can do this using a recovery charger, another healthy battery or a USB cable.<\/b><\/li>\n
  2. If you\u2019re using another battery, turn off the power source and remove the dead battery.<\/b><\/li>\n
  3. Take a voltage reading and hook it up with the healthy battery in a parallel circuit.<\/b><\/li>\n
  4. Connect the neutrals first and then the positive charges with a wire or jumper leads.<\/b><\/li>\n
  5. or them for five to 15 minutes and take the reading of the dead battery.<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Li-on batteries are preferred over the NiMH and NiCad batteries because they have a relatively lower rate of self discharge, higher capacity and more charge cycles<\/a> before you start to encounter problems. So, before you throw them out, here\u2019s what you can do to revive them.<\/p>\n

    Can A Lithium Ion Battery Be Reconditioned?<\/h2>\n

    To recondition lithium<\/a> ion battery<\/span> is possible. These batteries tend to go into sleep mode and in that state, a battery with 3.7 volts<\/a> shows a reading of 1.5 volts on the voltmeter. Some models come with a boost or recovery feature precisely to wake them out of this slumber.<\/p>\n

    But if the batteries have been at a 1.5-volt reading for a week, this feature does not work. Either when that is the case or when your batteries do not have that feature, you will have to wake them up manually. Here\u2019s how to do that.<\/p>\n

    How to recondition a lithium ion battery?<\/h2>\n

    If you are wondering how lithium battery<\/a> reconditioning works, then this post will help you. Refurbishing lithium ion batteries is done in a few simple steps. There are a few different ways to recondition<\/a> a lithium-ion battery. But as mentioned right in the beginning, safety is a non-optional part of this. Let\u2019s look at the tools you will need to recondition your lithium-ion batteries<\/a>.<\/p>\n
