I need information on how to recover a 12 Volt rechargeable power pack that will only charge to 10 Volts. I believe it is a 'Gel' cell which I understand to be a lead acid battery encased in a gel. Does this 2 Volt drop indicate a shorted cell? Is it possible to blast this short by using a high voltage, high current supply? If so, how high and for how long? It is a 48 Watt Hour battery. Thanks in advance for your help. Rick Turley ...hplabs!turley
