This has come up before but I can't remember it being resolved.
I often see suggestions for rejuvenating failed or dying laptop batteries using
a hi-amp source to flash them and break down the built-up crystals.
Most mention breaking the pack apart before doing this individually on each
cell. Is this because each cell might have different resistances ? Most of my
LT batteries no longer work anyway so it would be no big loss if it totalled
them. Sending a dozen or so batteries into a rebuild place is a costeffective
non-option and replacing the individual cells would still be costly.
