Re: Dell Inspiron 2650 won't charge

Does any know how to apply voltage to the battery to charge it externally (without using the laptop)? Which pins would I apply the voltage to? This is the battery from the Dell Inspiron 2650 laptop. I just need to see if the battery is capable of holding the charge.
