Refreashing dead 3310 batt packs - GSM-Forum

schrodingersCat · 10-22-2002, 16:30

does anybody know of a way reserect old 3310 batt packs? a full charge on my phone now only lasts for a few min on a phone call.

the reason that i think that this can be done is because i read before that radio control fanatics had a way to reserect old NiCd packs. Can this be done to 3310 NiMh packs, an if so, how?
thanx in advance.

it is possible if you have had this phone unlocked that ALL rf and power management have been also reset ....

Thanks for the reply, but the problem is with the batt...its giving problems in my mates 3330 aswell. His phone wasnt anywhere near a cable. Maybe nimh batt's cannot be resserected. any other ideas?

never tried it on a 3310 pack but certainly works on other Ni-Mh packs - try to borrow a constant current charger and set to 150mA. charge for 10min on that then reduce to 100mA for about an hour. check the voltage and if it's still down, you've got a knack'ed cell and there's nothing more you can do.

thanx for the reply, il try doin it that way.

hopefully the batt isnt knackered, coz phone batts r pretty expensive.

Batteries are consumable items. They will eventually be exhausted. that's why Nokia will give you only 6 mos warranty on batteries
