Even the batteries of the best laptop computers will eventually lose power and die. This can happen over a period of years due to constant use. If your IBM R51 battery is on its last legs, there are things you can do to give it a little boost and maximize its life.

Instructions

        1

        Place your IBM battery in a plastic, sealable kitchen bag and put the battery in a refrigerator. Make sure the temperature in your fridge is between 32 and 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
        2

        Store the battery for 14 to 15 hours, then remove it from the bag.
        3

        Insert your battery in the IBM and charge the battery fully. Let the battery completely discharge.
        4

        Recharge the battery and discharge it three more times. After this, you will find your battery is rejuvenated.
