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

Comments

• 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.

• So it comes to its hopeless and there is no possible way to make it hold a charge? Theirs just a funny thing... I put it in the scooter and it gos very very slow... then i take it out and i put a medal rod on it (both +and-) and it sparked like crazy, but that doesnt make sense because it "can't" hold a charge...
  Here's the info about the battery and see if it will help:
  From fullriver
  12 volts 10AH/20HR
  Lead battery
  Valve Regulated Rechargable battery

• Making sparks may be less of a drain on the battery than actually running your scooter is. If you really want to know what is going on, you are going to need to take the battery to someone who can test it under a load for you. (You can get very different readings on a batter if you are just testing it straight and when you test it while it is actually working.)
