Are the nicad batteries for your cordless tools dead or dying?

Zap 'em back to life!

I just resurrected 3 completely dead (as in zero voltage and wouldn't take a charge) 18 volt nicads.

You can also freeze them apparently. WARNING check the battery type but I think it is NiCads. Could be NiMh. DYODD on my comments please. Is the battery/torch guru on GSUS or did we loose him during the "transitions"? Sorry I can't recall who that poster is/was but I enjoyed the information they shared. I didn't realise there was so much to know.
