Very carefully, using a single-cell charger and do one at a time, and


never leave it in the house unattended. Depending on the exact type of


cell, there are different voltages to be attained.


In general, it's probably toast and I never attempt to recharge one


that's dropped below 2.5V or so (indeed, the last lot of ex-laptop


batteries I stripped for cells, any under 2.8V were binned).




And I thought you were going to talk about a Lion Bar and there's me

wondering, did they stop making it? 'Twas my favourite choccy bar in

the 1980s.

Tis a favourite of the other half and I can confirm that it is still on sale, but not in supermarkets etc. You have to find it in newsagents/corner shops.
