+ | [title] If the battery is charged to greater than 3.6V... |
+ | [* black] ''Follow these steps if the cell outputs significantly more than 3.6V.'' |
[* black] In order to get the cell back into a working condition we'll need to cycle it by discharging heavily and then slowly recharging to a point where the RAID card can pick up. | |
[* black] Find a ~100 ohm resistor or a torch bulb (flashlight for those over the pond) and connect it directly to the cell terminals, ***''ensuring they do not touch.''*** | |
[* black] Leave the battery for a few hours until you no longer see the bulb lit (or just barely), or if you're using a resistor when the cell voltage drops significantly below 3V. Now disconnect the load. | |
[* black] ++Never leave the battery unattended while charging / discharging!++ It's not intended to be used in this way, so we need to look after it. |
