| BatteryReset on a Lombard |

Out of curiousity... have any of you ever used BatteryReset 2.0 on a Lombard? If so, were you successful at fixing a battery?
I've got a Pismo and a battery that refuses to take a charge and I've been considering trying to find someone with a Lombard (or just a cheap Lombard 🙂 to try and reset the battery for me.

I can tell you that it very seldom works on a Wallstreet....
Resetting the battery can be done in Open Firmware, I gather, on a Pismo. Mind you, it hasn't worked for my Pismo's dead batteries. The better bet is just to buy a new battery for $60 or so.

Yes, it can work, I've 'repaired' several batteries using BR 2. The best luck I had was with some NOS Pismo batts that had been sitting unused for several years and gone flat.
BR2 _won't_ help old wornout batteries, only batteries that have some kind of confusion in their internal controller board.

I have two dead batteries that won't charge- One claims it has a maximum capacity of 100000 mAh; the other claims a maximum capacity of 4950 mAh.

If the circuit reads a short in a cell the whole battery is "dead" and resetting the controller will not help.
