I have a 7.2 volt battery which appeared to have died. By repeated charging and discharging I have got it back to 6.97 volts. Can I expect anything better? Any tips on reviving dead batteries?

** No** FFS - buy some new ones.
Questions about rechargeable batteries should be banned from electronics forums.
Batteries are NOT electronic components.

No he's right mate! All too many lazy guys just make another enquiry on a subject that's been discussed to oblivion when they should do their own research on it.
** Yaaawnnnnnnnnnnn.....
** Of course.
** See what happens when you Google: " rejuvenating batteries" .
You get U-tubes and all kinds of stuff.
Nearly all of it crap.

Probably why he is asking experts. :)
Yeah, it's hard going in this group, wading through the thousands of posts here. Who need people asking easy questions.
**See if you can locate one of those pulse charger thingys. It may not rejuvenate your battery pack, but there's a modest chance it will. It may be useful for other battery charging applications too.

If it is for a drill, you can get a drill with a lithium battery for not much more.
I did this with a 14.4V pack:
Total cost $50 for a Li-ion upgrade (excluding the old laptop supply that feeds the Accucel-6).

You don't say what type of battery it is .
But generally :
1 - Buy a new one, or....2 - Replaced the cells
3 - Replace the cells with Li-ons ( see latest Silicon Chip). But if you need to ask then "1" is probably your best option.geoff
