Guest SM2GXN Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Hi Rick and welcome to this forum!Have you tried to take apart the battery pack to see how the cells look likeor does it look like an impossible mission ;D?Years ago I switched cells in an old laptop but think it was Nicad cells.I remember that it was hard just to get those cells out of the pack.Bjorn/SM2GXN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJB2K3 Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 Try "boiling" the battery first (ramming a high current very breafly into it)before dissably.the T2130ct era(486 dx -133mhz) tosh bats have a record of reviving if done properly.

ante Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 The “boiling” as you call it can work with NiCads if you are careful burning of internal shorts, but I wouldn’t try it with Li-Ion’s. It might blow up in your face! I suspect the battery for the old 486 is not Li-Ion type? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
