The 18650 and 26650 li-ion batteries are available from many sources with multiple mAh choices.

I use them in flashlights and purchased a smart charger that will keep 4 ready at at time.

Not all "smart chargers" will lower themselves to charge a completely dead cell, they detect no current and they will not charge.?ÿ If you think about it, it is a safety thing.?ÿ The dumber the charger the better your chances, a USB single cell charger would probably work.?ÿ I have a digital charger for RC planes that I can use to get a base charge into the cell and then I can place them in their "smart charger".?ÿ There are many unsafe ways to get a base charge in, just remember never go above 4.2 volts per cell.?ÿ If it is going to take a base charge it will take it fairly fast and your goal should be just to get it to the threshold where the stock charger can take over.

0V lithium ion cells may be that way for a good reason. They may have had an internal issue that tripped I CID vent. Or they may be old and have developed internal discharge that eventually ran the cell down.

Any cell <2.5V should be charged at no more than 4.2V and very low current (50-100 mA). If it won't take a charge, it should be recycled. If it will take a charge, it's effective capacity is significantly reduced as cell voltage <2.5 causes deterioration.

You can get brand new ones from mAhbattery.com for $3-5.

You find a TP4506 charger board and try that.

When my DeWalt batteries go completely to zero I have to take off charger and put back on charger everytime I pass by and notice it has not charged and after a dozen or so connects "woohoo" it starts charging.

'The smartchip inside must need some power source to work.
