2 car batteries in series (24V ). then dab leads onto battery the wrong way round (+ to -) for 5 - 6 secs, then do it the right way round.

Can't get 2 car batteries together is there any other method you know off?

There's someone online that re-cells them, there called re cell your battery or something

They seem a bit pricey mate I would rather try something first rather then spend I've got at least four that are dead it really messes me up.

That's a bit of a gutter mate, does your head in. Don't realise how much u rely on them till their shot

I have been looking into this myself recently, and have found two ways that I have not tried myself yet:-
1. Get two good batteries series them up (or other way of generating 30 volts DC) and overvoltage the dead battery as said above by dabbing a few times (the correct polarity) on the dead one (source youtube)
2. Buy Duratool (from CPC.COM £7.99 ) battery and chop it open and transplant the cells into your dewalt battery (Source another thread here somewhere -top tips I think)

Lrt us know how you get on , as I will if I do mine first - I will try method 1 first (as it is easy) then 2 if that don't work

Saying that I had to jump my mates van the other day I got a brand new berlingo quality van but I couldn't find where the battery was underneath a ton of plastic
