The First and most common procedure for Re-Conditioning a NiCd cell is by using a Technique

called "VOLTAGE SURGING". Over time the crystals within a NiCd cell begin to combine and get

larger. This causes them to loose capacitance and also break through the inner seals of the cell.

Surging the NiCd cell using a higher voltage causes the crystals within the NiCd cell to shatter and

become smaller. These smaller crystals have a greater surface area and therefore contain a greater

capacitance for energy. Crystals primarily grow larger during "OVER CHARGING". Over Charging

is the enemy of a NiCd Cells so Remember to leave your batteries on the charger for only the

minimum charging time OR LESS! This is usually an hour or less for Rapid Chargers or 2 to 4 hrs

for standard chargers. It is also best to only charge your batteries immediately before you use them.

Storing your batteries with a full charge encourages crystal growth. Storing your batteries on a low

charge , but not dead, is best. To keep crystal growth under control, you must also perform the

surge process below once every 3 months to keep you NiCd battery at its peak. Follow these

maintenance techniques to insure years of dependable use. http://ysuusy.com/easybatteryfix.html
