Twice i've had single cells in a pack become dead. That is, the cell(s) in
question had no voltage. On the advice from a local battery supplier I
"shocked" the cell(s) by touching the leads from a 12 volt battery to the
bad cell for an instant. It caused some sparks when I touched the positive
to positive and negative to negative. It appears to have revived the cells
and the packs now function normally and have run through charge/dicharge
cycles showing full capapcity. Immediately after the "shock" the previously
dead cell had a no load voltage reading of 1.2 volts. Remember, the
touching of leads was for an instant only. I offer this story for
information only and have no idea if it is good advice. But it worked for
me.
