Reviving an old 18V Ryobi Battery Pack

Bear. Thank You so much for this post!!! I was just given two 18v cordless drills both batteries and both chargers, supposedly because the batteries would nottake or hold a charge. I am going to try this trick to see if I can get new life out of two older drills. One is a good model DeWalt and the other is a Ryobi knock-off.
