This
is not a battery charger
We are selling
an online step by step "Battery Resurrection Guide" for rechargeable
batteries and not a battery charger or hardware device.

guide is online - go to www.batteryfix.com
We decided
to put the guide online for fast delivery and free shipping. And saving
trees and plastic waste is also a benefit.
Rechargeable
batteries come in many sizes
Practically
everyone has seen AA batteries. There are Alkaline, NiCad, Carbon, and
NiMH types of batteries and they have their own special properties. Common
Carbon and Alkaline batteries are not rechargeable. When their energy
is gone, they are trash. NiCad and NiMH batteries are rechargeable and
therefore reusable.

Nickel Cadmium
batteries were the first rechargeable batteries available to
the public and are still in use today. You will find AA NiCad batteries
in most solar powered garden lights. The photo cell charges the NiCad
battery during the day and the NiCad drives a low power LED for light
at night.
Power tools
such as drills, saws and the like made by companies such as Black and
Decker, Dewalt, Craftsman, Bosch, Ryobi, Panasonic, Makita, Ridgid, and
Milwaukee use rechargeable NiCad batteries as their main power source
even today with the availability of NiMH batteries.
Rechargeable
NiCad Batteries are very powerful and excellent for cordless power
tools, but do suffer from some weaknesses.
- Over heating
during use and/or charging can cause premature failure. Imagine using
a 1 inch drill bit in a hard wood and drilling hole after hole using
heavy pressure and then feeling your battery. It will be hot! This is
not healthy for your battery.
- Allowing
a NiCad battery to be completely discharged can cause a polarity reversal
which in turn will not allow it to charge mainly because most chargers
will reject it
- Rechargeable
NiCad batteries can develop a memory. This occurs when a battery
is constantly discharged the same amount after a full charge or if it
is constantly charged up to a certain point. This results in low power
and low run time
- Battery
chargers are inexpensive for charging NiCad batteries
Nickel
Metal Hydride Rechargeable Batteries
A newer type
of battery is the Rechargeable NiMH. These are the most popular for AA
applications such as digital cameras, toys, etc. NiMH cells are being
used more frequently in cordless power tool batteries.
- Since
they do not contain Cadmium they are friendlier to the environment
- Rechargable
NiMH batteries can be charged up to 1000 times
- They maintain
a steadier voltage over their charged life
- They are
relatively inexpensive
- They lose
3 to 5 percent of their charge each day as do NiCads
- They typically
don't suffer from the well known NiCad memory effect
- Battery
chargers are inexpensive to charge NiMH batteries
Rechargeable
Battery Resurrection - Fix it!
At the present
time Battery Resurrection for Rechargeable batteries is only
recommended for NiCad batteries and not NiMH batteries. Rechargable NiMH
batteries are now being tested for Resurrection.
