    That's good info to know given the number of cordless drill batteries that I've discarded. I'd be willing to try this on a bad car battery being that principle is probably the same.

    be sure and follow the instructions from that website in post # 1 (it gives some specifics on batteries)
    These batteries have boards in them I believe, and a dead car battery is likely got a bad or shorted cell
    I tried it on a 1.2V NiCad and it didn't seem to work

    (actually, I don't believe I'd wanna try it on a car battery at all ; )
