    Laptop battery reconditioning possible?

    Hello to everyone. I have a dead laptop battery coming from a Lenovo laptop. It can't be charged (if I recall well, when it was still fitted it wasn't detected either) but, if I check the three packs it is made of, their voltage is fine (I get the same reading from all the three, 3.7V).
    I tend to believe it could be something wrong with the control circuit: is it something repairable and eventually what are the components to check for starters?
    I tend to believe the best resort is just dismantling it and see if the three battery packs could be used separately for another project but I may be wrong (and I have to say I hope that). Thanks in advance to everyone for your advices!

          there are different things that might work . best one is a tool that can reset it . down and dirty is force charge it for a few seconds then try normally .

              Dell E6400 PT434 type Battery Charging Stuck at 1%. Battery Pinouts?
              by Bowline
              My question pertains to understanding the control circuity inside a Dell PT434 type battery used in Dell E6400, E6410 and other Dell notebooks?

              Does anyone have a circuit diagram for the inside of a Dell PT434 battery and/or a description of how the control lines work to control this battery?

              My reason for asking is I have a battery which I cannot get to charge beyond 1% in a Dell E6410 or E6400.
              The LED bar graph charge indicator on the battery shows one LED lighted when the info button is pressed.
              I have tried multiple different Dell power adapters. My Dell...

              Acer TMX314-51 laptop battery problem
              by ahmarzo
              I have acer laptop tmx314-51 with part no 6050A3020501.
              The laptop is working fine on adapter and battery is also charging and when adapter is disconnected in on state the laptop gives backup on battery and gives good backup.
              But when laptop is powered on through battery only the laptop does not power on and there is 0 voltage on battery connector.
              I have not not tried another battery as it is not available locally could this be a battery problem.have checked discharging mosfet and there is no shorting to ground on any pin of battery connector.
              The schematic is not available...

              ISL6257HRZ ISL6257HRZ-T Laptop Battery Charger Datasheet

              Highly Integrated Narrow VDC Battery Charger for Notebook Computers

              The ISL6257HRZ ISL6257HRZ-T is a highly integrated battery charger controller
              for Li-Ion/Li-Ion polymer batteries. ISL6257 is designed for
              Narrow VDC applications where the system power source is
              either the battery pack or the regulated output of the charger.
              This makes the max voltage to the system equal to the max
              battery voltage instead of the max adapter voltage. Operating
              at lower system voltage can improve...

              ISL88739AHRZ ISL88739 Laptop Battery Charger Datasheet
              by Document Archive
              The ISL88739 & ISL88739AHRZ are a highly versatile combo battery charger
              configurable for operating as either a Hybrid Power Boost (HPB)
              charger or a Narrow VDC (NVDC) charger, supporting 2-, 3-, or
              4-cell batteries. Both configurations allow the battery to work with
              the adapter together to supply the system load when it exceeds
              the adapter capability, referred to as system Turbo mode. HPB
              charger configuration reverse-boosts battery energy to the system
              bus to help the adapter provide the system power in Turbo mode.
              NVDC charger configuration...

              dell inspiron 5567 laptop battery lipo WDX0R
              by ipatch
              recently i was gifted a dell inspiron 5567 for wiping the data on the hard drive. (yay me). however i already have a computer that i use, so i have no need for this computer. this computer wasn't without its problems though.

              1. i had to purchase an adapter to retrofit my older style dell laptop battery cable. (not too expensive) ~= 10 bucks for a 2 pack via amz.

              2. after that i had to find a spare cr2032 (easily found in my parts bin) and assemble a makeshift cmos battery thanks to some copper foil tape and some heat shrink tubing.

              got the computer...
