Lithium Ion Batteries
A search of the
web 2021-12 ref. Lithium Ion Batteries, especially for recovery
of over discharged batteries, & what risks in recharging,
& what charge current for 18650 cells.

"Our Power X-Change chargers are equipped with a
refresh mode. If a battery is plugged into the charger
whose deep discharge is not yet too far advanced, the
battery can still be "saved" in many cases. The charger
charges the battery very carefully until the minimum
charge level is reached again. It can then be charged
again as normal."

"when the battery undergoes over-discharging, it is
very difficult to recharge it because the internal
resistance of the cell has increased ... example of a
widely used 4.2V Li-Po battery when the voltage reached
below 3.7V there is damage in the internal resistance of
the battery. The damage becomes significant below 3.0V.
Charging these batteries take tons of time. For charging,
a smart charger is a mandatory requirement. Initially,
for 0-3V of the battery, charge at 1/20 C charge rate. Do
not leave the battery unattended and also touch it
frequently and check if it's not getting hot. If so,
lower the charge rate. When the battery is charged at
3.0V, increase the charge rate to 1/10 C rate and after
3.7V, you can charge it at higher 1/2C rate until
4.2V"

you shouldn't attempt it with batteries that have
been below 1.5 V for over a week ... Return the battery
into the lithium-ion charger and give it a full charge,
which should take around 3 hours depending on what type
of Li-ion battery you are reconditioning. Some chargers
automatically progress from recovery mode to charging, so
on these devices you can just leave the battery in place
throughout. Next, discharge the Li-ion battery again in a
device that is going to put a heavy load on the battery,
like an LED flashlight. Seal the Li-ion battery in an
airtight bag and put it in the freezer for about 24
hours, ensuring there is no moisture in the bag that
could get the battery wet. When you take it out of the
freezer, let it thaw for up to eight hours to restore it
to room temperature. Place the Li-ion battery in the
charger and charge it fully. Hopefully, its performance
will improve, it will take a charge again and last longer
between charge cycles.

"The battery can become un-useable if discharged too
deeply. It is not necessarily shot, but the circuity
disables the charging function, as recharging a deeply
discharged Lithium battery can be dangerous."

Laptop battery light gave some unusual flickering, BIOS
showed zero charge even after plugged in hours.

Later when higher voltage, I will return it to standard
charging on laptop, then as it may have lost capacity, I
may do a discharge test, & or swap the cells for Sony cells
