Rechargeable batteries aren't really field-serviceable. If it's for a computer, the computer manufacturer MAY provide a calibration program that discharges and recharges the battery completely which can help, but if the battery is truly dead there's not much you can do other than get a new one and recycle the dead one.

Will a dead battery recharge itself?

No, it will not. If it's not a rechargeable battery, your only choice will be to throw it out and get a new one. If it's rechargeable, you'll need to connect it to a charger. If it's only low and not dead yet, there are ways to conserve battery so it will last longer. But if it's completely dead there's nothing you can do except find a charger.


Does it hurt rechargeable batteries if they die?

No, it does not hurt the camera any more than it hurts when a normal (un-rechargeable) battery dies. The battery is dead, of course, so in a way it does run down the internal charge that it needs to maintain.


Can you repair a dead cell on a car battery?

You cant without destroying the battery. Manufacturer can.


Can you safely replace a dead 3V CR2032 lithium battery in a remote auto key with a CR 2025 What is the difference?

If it will fit it will work. They are both 3 volts.


When was Dead Battery created?

Dead Battery was created in 2000.


Do you need to let lithium polymer batteries run dead before charging?

No, it is not necessary to let lithium polymer batteries run dead before charging. In fact, it is better to avoid completely draining the battery as it can be harmful for its longevity. It is recommended to charge lithium polymer batteries before they reach a very low charge level for optimal performance and lifespan.


Is a battery dead if it bounces?

No, a battery is not necessarily dead if it bounces. The bounce test is not a reliable way to determine if a battery is dead or not. It is best to use a battery tester or multimeter to check the voltage of the battery.


Why does battery go dead?

Alternator is defective, dead cell in the battery, or something is on pulling power from the battery.


Is a lithium battery a substitute for a radium battery?

Absolutely not. While there are radioisotope batteries, radium is too expensive and dangerous for it to be used in them! Most radioisotope batteries use either plutonium-238 or tritium as the radiation source. It can be quite dangerous to handle these batteries. Radioisotope batteries can generate usable electricity for one or two halflives of the isotope and can thus function for years to centuries (or even longer) before going dead. Radioisotope batteries are almost always custom designed for the application and sometimes cannot be replaced as the device using them (e.g. deep space probe, equipment for operation in inaccessible remote sites) will not be operating at a location where any repairs or replacements would be practical. Lithium batteries are chemical batteries, that generate electricity by electrochemical "corrosion" of plates inside the battery. Primary lithium batteries can go dead in weeks to months. Secondary lithium batteries may not go dead for years, but need to be recharged. Most lithium batteries are designed to be user replaceable.


The battery went dead in my Volvo 850 and now the radio won't work how do you fix this?

need to get the security code from a licensed Volvo repair. code is by VIN.


How can a batteries life be extended?

Do not let the battery run down until dead. This shortens the life of the battery, especially car batteries. Some lithium batteries, such as for laptop PCs, this is actually good for the battery, but that's the exception.For a vehicle, boat or motorcycle, keeping the battery charged on a trickle charger to maintain 100% charge is the best way to extend the life.
