    Hi! I heard some fork said that in daily usage, we shouldn't plug in the battery which will keep charging it. Make it die young.

    I follow this principal for almost a year. One day I need to use the battery for mobile usage, I found that the battery was "totally dead"~! May be it slept too long time, but now no matter how long I charge it, it can be charged to 3% only. I found some article from Google that can rescue it back alive (charge each Li battery Cell with 4.0V and 150mA for 15mins to wake them up). But.... I can't even found out how to disassemble it~ :eek: Anyone can help??

    THanks!

    I don't think batteries are actually meant to be disassembled, you may have to cut the thing open carefully and clue it back later

    Li-ion batteries have some seriously nasty chemicals inside - hence the special disposal instructions. If it's dead, it's dead - buy a new one.
