Using RC equipment in good use.

[9VDXN]

Got two packs of my Li-Ion camera battery that went 'dead' after long term storage.....it never revive despite my attempts to charge with the stock charger that came with the camera..


I got fed up, took my Apache charger, check polarity, croco-clip it direct to the batts and trickle charge it...surprisingly, the batts are still able to last me till today....at least about 10-15 cycles done on a supposedly 'dead' battery in the eyes of the stock charger.

The lousy stock charger was never able to charge the batts efficiently, but the Apache still can do it to a good level....

notebook battery pack. :na :na

Hmm....should get a metal cabinet to put the Lion battery pack for charging just in case everything goes wrong. I would be
