I read online a while ago that a laptop battery that no longer holds a charge can be fixed by freezing it. I'm not sure how this works (something about freezing it breaks up some crystals I think). But, I tried it. Yesterday I put my laptop batter in the snow (and it was below freezing, obviously), and left it out for roughly 24 hours. At first when i put it back in, it didn't appear to be taking any charge, but after it warmed up a bit, it charged to full, and appears to be working like new.
If you wish to try this, just be aware that a laptop battery may release poisonous chemicals, so obviously don't put it around food. Also, let the battery warm up to room temperature before trying to use it. I didn't, even though it works fine, I still suggest letting it warm up first. Also, I suggest before doing this, see if you can find any other sources for this method of restoring a laptop battery.
As stated above, I am not responsible if something goes wrong, if you want to do this, the consequences are on you, and you alone. But, it certainly is interesting as to how this works.
I'm pretty sure the battery is lithium-ion one. It is also the battery that comes from a Dell XPS. I'm not sure if this can be repeated over and over again, would be awesome if it could be; would save me a lot of money :)
