Hi author of this post,

I’m curious if I can use this technique also to my laptop battery that is not DEAD. It’s not DEAD but in the battery display in my desktop’s taskbar, it show a notification saying that my battery needs to be replaced because it is damaged.

This worked for me on an old functioning (barely for 5 mins) battery, get almost over an hour out if it now.

However on a newer(ish) battery that was abused before I got the laptop, that I then left in sleep mode a few times on battery power for several days, it would still not keep a charge. Just stays at 0%.

I have another battery at home in the freezer too for an even older laptop that would not hold a charge at all. This will be the tie breaker!

My battery was unused for 3 months and failed to charge. Plugged in for 24 hrs still 0%. It’s a replacement batt for IBM Thinkpad R32, Sanyo Cells. Already had 31 cycles and used for more than a yr. I freeze it for 48 hours, wrapped in newspapers. “Thawing” was done by keeping the bundle in a large bag together with a heap of silica gel. The large bag was of course tied up to keep out moisture and the silica gel will maintain the dryness in the bag. The batt charged and performed like it was b4

Well, i put the battery in for about 5 hours, took it out. i know i said 24, but i was getting inpatient.IT WORKED with just the 5 hours. my battery was completely cold and now i had 12 hours of full bar battery life, and still going. If this worked for my phone. then it should work for other lithium-ion polymer batteries!
