18650 - Part 15 - Reviving Dead Cells

This video is about Reviving Dead 18650 Cells. When your charger does not want to charge these cells, and your voltmeter shows between 0 and 3V, then watch this video for a solid solution. It is a fact that li-ion cells cannot go lower then about 3V to keep them in good condition. However, a one time draining the battery too much does not mean that the battery is destroyed forever. However, alot of chargers (and bms's) think that the batterypack is faulty because it does not have the values as should be. In my case, I salvage alot of cells out of ebike battery packs. There is mostly a piece of software/hardware safeguarding the battery condition. When the bike does not want to start, people go to the bikeshop to have a "read-out" of the battery pack. Their equipment will tell them that one part is faulty, or the complete pack. This is good news for us ....
