Dead Li-ion battery

Feb 17, 2004 10 Replies

I have a Canon BP511 Li-ion battery which has decided not to take a charge.



Anyone got any tips on re-juvenating it ?

I doubt you can rejuvenate it. Probably a new one is needed or you could try re-cell

Replace it. Once they are dead, there is no resurrection.

This more or less confirms my suspicions. Its less than a year old. Pukka Canon ones cost about £60.00. Jessops sell one for about £40 and Ebay has them from £10.

Whats the difference apart from the price ?

Not sure about your specific query but you will find interesting info in Li-ion batteries if you check the indexes under Part one and Part two of the following site.
