Hi all, first post!
I recently inherited an old Motorola XTS3000 model III. It was sitting idle in our garage for maybe 10+ years until I recently found it. I ordered a charger for it yesterday, but understand that the battery may be dead or even dangerous. Is that true?
If its dead, is it possible to revive it? I saw a few videos on YouTube that said you can "jump start" a dead battery similar by giving it a higher voltage directly to the terminals (maybe using a 9v battery)?
Is this dangerous? Is it effective? I would hate to have to purchase another battery.
Thanks!
