I was reading and watching some videos on how some people "revive" dead nickel based batteries, mainly nicd batteries. Some people have said that putting a higher voltage on dead batteries does the trick while others stated that reverse charging is what does it. I've watched a number of videos on Yt (extremely painful - the posters move in slow motion and seem to have no electronics knowledge...). Some say "sufate" crystals build up between the plates preventing electron flow - but I don't see how that is possible with nickel batteries as sulfates arean't used to my knowledge - maybe they are confused with lead acid which does build up lead sulfate crystals.
Can anyone say if they have verifiable results with with reviving these types of batteries and if so, how do you do it? I am absolutely AMAZED at the number of videos showing people how to do this and the are almost all done by extreme amatures who don't even seem to grasp how batteries charge. Millions of views and generally positive reviews (SMH..) how is that possible..
