Have we got a Rechargable Battery FAQ thread?

[kosPap]

checked the stickies and did not see anything....

I am refering to a thread with questions like...

- why should I NOT charge my Li-Ions when they are below 2.5Volt?
- checked my batt and it was 0 volts! what is wrong? (this one I think i found out and solved, this is the reason for starting this topic)

So is there any?

why should I NOT charge my Li-Ions when they are below 2.5Volt?

They are unprotected cells that have been over-discharged. Start the charge at 0.1C, then if they get to >3.0V without over-heating, charge as normal. Watch them carefully throughout.

checked my batt and it was 0 volt! what is wrong?

The low-voltage protection circuit has tripped. Put the cell on the charger for a few seconds and it should reset.

All that sort of info is here in the threads if you look for it.

thanks...

the second question I know...I recalled something in a post either by you, luxluthor or silverfox...did that and the batt jumbed to 3.16....I keep charging it but under monitor is a slow process...(I do it only when I am in the same room).

Also can I assume that with no links to a previous thread, there is not one yet ?(FAQ one)
