Reviving knackered NiCads

I just tried it on a couple of knackered 14v batteries They would only get to 5v. They are now showing 13v and working fine.

No explosions, just a tiny little spark, a bit dull really.

So about 6 weeks ago I "revived" a couple of nicads. I have used them several times since. Tried them yesterday, back knackered again.

Not sure of the chemistry, but it looks like this flashing a higher voltage is only a temporary solution.
