The first step: completely discharge the nickel-hydrogen battery after stripping off. According to the current status of the battery, let the battery be directly short-circuited or use a 1 ohm resistor when the load is discharged until the terminal voltage is close to 0 volts, which is about 5-10 hours. This can prevent the battery from being short-circuited and burned out accidentally after adding water, and it can also reduce the electrochemical corrosion when immersed in water. Step 2: Open the safety valve. There are four holes at the positive electrode of the battery of Sanyo, SONY and other brands. You can see the rubber cap of the safety valve. Use a thin iron wire to bend into a U shape, and then insert about 2 mm from the bottom of the rubber cap to the center. In this way, the safety valve is forced to open, and it is bent into a U-shape in order not to damage the rubber cap. Step 3: Use freshly boiled water to scald the nickel-metal hydride battery until the positive electrode no longer bubbles, but remember not to boil the battery, but to boil the water and then scald it. Put it in the bottle of cool purified water immediately, and wait for about 1 minute. At this time, part of the water has been inhaled. Immediately tighten the cap and squeeze the bottle for about 10 seconds to make more water enter the battery. Step 4: Take out the Ni-MH battery, wipe it dry, pull out the U-shaped iron wire, and cover it. It is best to use a large Phillips screwdriver with a small hammer to slightly dent the center of the positive electrode cap to increase the sealing degree of the safety valve. It is enough to dent 0.5 mm. If you smash it too much, dangerous situations may occur. Step 5: After standing for 5 hours, start charging and discharging repeatedly 3-5 times. For the first charge, use fast charge for about half an hour, then use slow charge to charge the terminal voltage above 1.45V, and then use a medium-speed or slow-speed charger.
