rechargeable batteries

Has anyone had success with rejuvenating cordless drill batteries? I've recently seen advertisements about rejuvenating them and wondered if anyone has tried to do this.

I have read in another forum that putting them in a freezer for 24 hours before charging them will work. I guess it would be worth a try.

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

Running them completely down before recharging has worked for me. Tape or rubber band the switch down over night. Then recharge the next day.

I have only had marginal success rejuvenationg them, but have found that if you connect a strip witht he chargers on it to a timer so it charges about 15 minutes everyday seems to greatly increase their life.
If you are not part of the solution,
you are part of the problem!!!
