This is a successful experience to revive a dead dell inspiron 1300 battery of a Laptop user. But, before I proceed I just want to lay down some disclaimers below:
- If your laptop is still under warranty, then by all means get the battery replaced!
- There’s no guarantee that this tip will work with your laptop battery.If you have the money and there’s still available stock for your notebook battery, then just buy a replacement one unless you are a cheapskate.
- I won’t be held responsible for any damages or injuries resulting from following this tip. You have been warned!
Now that the above has been made clear, this is the tip: freeze the battery! Yup, that’s the point. However, here’s the proper way to do it in easy. Read steps below:
- Remove the battery from the laptop
- Wrap the battery with old newspaper, making sure that it envelops the battery tightly
- Repeat step 2 above with at least three pieces of large sheet newspaper (if you’re using tabloid sized newspaper, then use at least five pieces)
- Place the wrapped battery in the freezer compartment of your refrigerator
- Let it stay in that cryogenic state for three to seven days
Once your battery has been given the frozen treatment, do not directly plug it into your notebook! Let the battery thaw to normal room temperature within the newspaper wrapping by leaving it in the open for at least half a day (overnight is recommended).
Tear off the newspaper wrapping and touch the battery. Does it feel cool to the touch? If so, then leave it at room temperature for a few more hours. Once it feels just about room temperature, take a piece of tissue and wipe the contact points of the battery just in case there’s some traces of moisture there.
Once this is done, plug it in your notebook computer, plug in the power adapter and leave your notebook in “charging” state. Do not power on the notebook!
Give your battery time to fully charge (this depends on your notebook/battery model). Once you’re 100% confident that the battery is fully charged, say your prayers, cross your fingers and power on your notebook. If all goes well, your battery should be working just fine.
Although I won’t promise that this notebook battery revival method will work for your particular notebook model, it has yet to fail me on a HP, Compaq, Dell and an old IBM ThinkPad… why not just give it a try, what have you got to lose?
