Opened up the battery pack of my Firestorm Black and Decker 14.4 (ps140 battery)and hit each individual cell 4 times with the charge. It did spark each time, and fused the little wire lead to the cell, but easily twisted off each time. Charged the battery and I'm very happy to report the packs are holding a charge pretty much like new. Time will tell how long this lasts, but at 44 bucks a pop, i'll take 10 minutes every 6 months (or however long they last)and zap these again.
