John – There are a number of sellers on Ebay, that are selling guides that claim to give step by step directions for resurecting spent NiCad batteries for portable tools. Do you know anything about them? Do they actaully work?
Thanks

Alex,
Here's the same basic info for free: http://coldc.com/batthelp.html#cads
Nicads don't last forever even if well cared for and the primary reason that they fail isn't repairable. The two problems that the referenced web site claims to fix aren't very common in modern nicads that are used regularly and fairly well run down before charging.
I suspect that the primary purpose of the information for sale is to enrich the seller.
