Read the part about Battery Revival.

I have a dead laptop battery and it never holds any of its charge. Will this work or is this a waste of my time?


Are there other ways to revive the battery?

The article/process refers to nicad and NiMh batteries. The problem described does not happen to LiIon batteries. When they die, they are dead. And, they usually die suddenly.

I have never heard this before but sounds like it would be worth a try.

liion batteries have shelf life and limited number of charges. you won't really bring it back by freezing it. liion death is inevitable. go to batteryuniversity ..google it and look up info on it. theres tons.

Lithium Ion batteries will lose will lower their capacity even sitting on a shelf. That's why it's important to check the date a battery was manufactured if you buy it in a store. Also, your battery could have went into deep discharge, which pretty much means that when you drain it entirely it dies completely.

Does this also apply with PSP batteries?

If it's a Lithium Ion(which is probably is), then I'm almost certain this is the case. L-ion batteries have sensors in them that force them to shut down right before they are completely discharged. Check the PSP battery, it should say what kind it is.
