Default old nicd's back to life - easy

I found this quite interesting. You can bring a nicd back to life by zapping it with high voltage. Even a developed disposable camera with flash can be easily made into a unit that can do this (camera taser, I have 2).
Even though not many of us care about nicd's any more, it seems like very interesting information.

No other battery can be brought back from the dead using this method. So don't try it.
