- NEW!
Help answer this question below.
They make good paper weights and door stops... ;~)
I assume that by dead you mean a rechargeable battery that will no longer hold a charge. If this is the case, then there is not much that you can do about it. The process of charging and discharging a batter causes the electrodes within it to grow and shrink as the chemical reactions within occur. As this happens, these electrodes slowly change shape until they eventually come into contact with each other. This shorts out the cells rendering the battery useless. Thus, it becomes little more than a paperweight. At that point you might as well either recycle the batter (if possible and/or necessary) or throw it away.
Recharge it
ok i guess ill keep them just in case and buy new ones...
If the battery has been dead for a long time, the cell inside may truly be dead. its like a cars battery. once the battery has a dead cell, the only option is to junk it and buy another.
This may be the same case here.
Sorry, i did say junk it, didn't I?
charge it

AAA AA C an D batteries are 1.5 volts. So is the difference Ah? If so would a 3 volt light be just as bright on 2 AA as 2 D but not as long?

You're reading What to do with a dead rechargeable battery and you want it to work? (p.s dont say throw it out)

So there is no way to modify them or something to get them running because they were $150 (scooter batteries)

They can be recycled but not reworked when they will no longer hold a charge. Just be sure it's not your charger that is not working right.
