<danamania> yay I fixed my laptops battery!
<danamania> it was so dead, nothing would charge it
<danamania> so I gave it the electronic equivalent of a kick
in the head, by shorting the +/- terminals for 5 minutes
<gelfie> don't they have stickers on them that say they could
explode or catch fire by doing that?
<danamania> yeah but it's ok, I took them off first.
