Cordless Power Tool Batteries and other batteries that contain Nickel Cadmium (NiCd) Cells can be Re-Conditioned to perform as well as new or even better than new. Proper maintenance after the procedure will insure years of usable life. The First and most common procedure for Re-Conditioning a NiCd cell is by using a Technique called "VOLTAGE SURGING". Over time the crystals within a NiCd cell begin to combine and get larger. This causes them to loose capacitance and also break through the inner seals of the cell. Surging the NiCd cell using a higher voltage causes the crystals within the NiCd cell to shatter and become smaller. These smaller crystals have a greater surface area and therefore contain a greater capacitance for energy. Crystals primarily grow larger during "OVER CHARGING". Over Charging is the enemy of a NiCd Cells so Remember to leave your batteries on the charger for only the minimum charging time OR LESS! This is usually an hour or less for Rapid Chargers or 2 to 4 hrs for standard chargers. It is also best to only charge your batteries immediately before you use

Four 6 volt lantern batteries batteries asalso works. It is also possible to use other tool batteries wired together in series as a run in series well as lower voltages because the individual cells are the power source, but if you are using two 18 volt tool batteries in series you will generate 36 volts and same.

10 seconds will be to long. Shorten re-conditioning process to 6 or 7 seconds. You can also use 2-18 volt tool batteries in series for re-conditioning 24 volt tool batteries. Using other DC power sources such as welders and battery chargers can also be used for the "VOLTAGE SURGING" but small transformers won't work because they don't deliver enough amps. Use lamp cord thickness wire or larger and always use safety goggles!
