This trick resurrected by flexvolt battery. I am reading 2.26V only in between B+ and B-. Use a fully charged 20V 1.5Ah only to pump up my flexvolt battery to 11 V, after that my charger was able recognized it and begun charging it. Thanks for sharing this trick, you’re a Genius!

Worked for me! One of my 20v MAX batteries was reading 6.7v on a meter. Charger wouldn't even recognize that it was there. Drills and impact would flash the little white LED when pulling the triggers, but that was it. Gave it a jump start from my good battery, using your method, and now the charger is charging it. I've never run the batteries down this low from use in the three years that I've had them. Only explanation I can think of is that the tools go into a soft carry bag--one of the triggers must have became depressed against one of the other tools, and drew it down too far. I now take the batteries off of the tools before putting them into the bag. Thanks for posting this!

Just did this with a battery I bought with drill on clearance. Display model. I put it on charger and didn't even blink. I "jumped" it with a good battery for 10 seconds. Put it on the charger and bam! It works! Was just using that batter in the drill last night. Thanks for the tip! Thumbs up to you!

I can't believe this was my problem with a brand new battery.

Get the new one and it wouldn't charge. Now it does. Crazy....thanks.

This is the quickest fix I did today. Thanks for showing this. I had a 20V 5AH battery that just stopped charging. Battery is dead when tested and charger does not blink. Roughly I would say, the battery is just about 1year or so old. I know my charger is working since my other batteries are getting charged. Anyway, I did what is shown here. You will see a small spark when you connect the negative, B-. I repeated it twice just for curiosity and I did not see the same spark. Plugged it into the charger and it worked! Thank you very much.

Not much use on this 1 of my 2 battery packs using with my blower and hedge trimmer, but it failed with the fast flashing red light when put on the charger. Cost for a new one was $180!!! I went ahead and gave this a try. Got one heck of a spark when I attached the final negative wire to the "dead" battery, but the unchargeable one is now charging like a dream. I will have to see if it still works OK and holds a charge like before. Thanks Richcan!!
