  • Have a dead Lithium Ion battery that doesn't work? It might be in Deep Sleep. Find out how to bring it back to life.
    Cellphone Battery. I should note that this is not testing the charge under load and therefore not an accurate reading of a batteries current charge.

    Super fantastic tutorial. We were able to bring a many-years dead LG phone battery back to life. As a note, I didn't have the battery-specific charger so had to wing it with the phone adapter (connected the usb end to phone adapter and then onto outlet). Still did the trick.
    Really great explanation for the wire connections also. Thanks a ton!

    I just did this on an old phone that's been in the drawer for ages and wouldn't charge, (my son broke his new phone and I'm not ready to buy another one) it worked brilliantly and the phone is now almost fully charged. Money saved - I love that. Thank you so much!

    Important: This worked for my phone, which was in a deep sleep even though it turned out it was not empty. Phone would not turn on nor charge. We followed the exact procedure, found that the battery showed around 3V and figured, oh no, the problem must lie with the phone. But we continued anyway, just as described in the video. The phone turned on, charged a bit more and is now working again as before! Thank you!!!

    I rediscovered an HTC phone I stopped using around 2016. Plugged it in for the first time in six years, and the screen would cycle from the dead battery icon, to charging, to shutting off. That's what brought me here.
    But, after about 15-20 minutes plugged into a standard charger, the phone is now charging. The battery is obviously wrecked, because it reached 52% in about six minutes. I haven't tried turning it on just yet, and my gut tells me I won't make it to the lock screen.
    But wish me luck.
    A lot has changed since I tossed it in a box and forgot. The data I left on this phone meant nothing at the time, but it would be such a blessing if I could see it again today.

      ...wut? How old is your phone? When the phone shows 0%, the battery should still be around 3.3-3.6v. If your phone is discharging the battery enough to trigger protection, then something is wrong or you're running custom firmware and your battery parameters need tweaking.

But battery failed to charge at this level. Held the wires again to battery, for about 1 min, and tested. Voltage was now 3.0. Battery then started to charge on charger.

    You should be EXTREMELY careful when doing this. If the battery starts to get warm at all, IMMEDIATELY pull those wires off! The proper charging voltage for most Li-Ion batteries will never be more than 4.2v, and exceeding this (5v from the USB cable) can cause the battery to thermal run-away (explode).

    quick story: The USB port in my cellphone got overloaded while charging in a car. But I didnt know that at that point. So eventually the battery went out. I turned it on over and over again until it was dead (didnt know better). I bought a new battery - phone went on, no charging until that battery was dead too. Ok, so it had to be the usb port - I then bought a new port, build it in, put the battery in, still no charge. After research I tried to put one battery in the refrigerator for 12 hours. Back in the phone - still no charge. It was hopeless. Then I stumbled across this jump-start video and IT WORKED! Its charging again. I´m so happy! I essentially bought a phone back to life that had a busted usb port and a dead battery because of it, what a thriller \o/

    Hi,
    I have an old HP laptop battery. It was completely drained when I left it on the shelf for 3 years. I used it previously for 4, so it is 7 years. I checked the voltage it is (6 cell 18650, 2 each.) So 1 parallel cell is dead, but the other 2 are showing around 3.9V. I'm very surprised. I'm guessing they're in deep sleep mode.
    Can these cells be recharged?
    Even after all these years?

      @@Ilegator batteries do get hot when they are going through cycles and it's good to keep an eye on them especially as they age. But I would always lean on the side the battery being an issue than the phone itself. It really depends on the state/age of the battery. This method is really just to get it up and running *temporarily*. I know for my original Samsung note the battery dies so fast and actually needs a jump again using this method which is a huge pain. I have seen very cheap and affordable replacement batteries online either through amazon but other battery-only specific companies so it might be worth looking into if you need to get the phone running again. I bought 2 batteries for $25 for my note 1. Sometimes the battery is just dead.

I put this battery up to 3.90 volts and it won't work regardless of what I do. I have a universal charger like you do. I even went the extra mile and bought a wireless charging pad and receiver, with another battery. At least that responds to something. But it lights up as 0% and cuts off. Won't even charge it. Is there a specific voltage it needs to be in order to make it start charging? I basically used every option up and this tutorial was my last hope.

    I used a 5.2 V to revive a 7.2 V lion battery. I charged with the wires just 30 seconds and it worked!

    Why can't the charger charge it when inserted into it? Wouldn't the charger be the same as using two wires?

    Noice. But as you've done it, did you feel any shock from the 5v passing through the wires or is it just nothing? Because im going to do this to revive my battery
