Revive your rechargeable batteries.
NiCad batteries are batteries made from nickel and cadmium components. These are very popular batteries on the market today because they can run so many things like golf carts and boats. Renewing, shocking, reviving or resurrecting a rechargeable NiCad battery is not all that difficult. Unlike some other rechargeable batteries on the market, these batteries do not do well in devices that require a high current from the start, such as digital cameras.
Instructions
1. Read over the digital multimeter owner's manual so that you know use this equipment. Different meters have different application instructions, so make sure you're up to date on your model.
2. Inspect each of your batteries for breaks, cracks or peeling in the casing and covering. If you find one, dispose of them immediately.
3. Test the voltage of the batteries with the digital multimeter. You need to divide the total rated battery voltage by the number of cells in the battery. The reading should be 1.2 for good batteries, and 1.0 or lower for batteries that need to be renewed. Use the pencil and paper to help you calculate this.
4. Touch the red cable alligator clip of the AC Adaptor to the positive end of the battery, and the black cable clip to the negative side. Polarity is very important, so pay real close attention!
5. Leave on the batteries for one minute maximum. Do not exceed one minute or you risk severely damaging your batteries.
6. Retest the voltage of the batteries. The result should be 1.2 volts per cell. If not, repeat this process.
7. Use or charge as desired. Place in a storage container after charging and store or use at will.
