I am beginning to see an improvement since I shorted the recovered battery.
It is the 8th day after resuming the procedure.
Also,
I have discovered a way to describe the results in a less subjective way than 'bright, not so bright' etc.
I find that I can measure the distance that the led shoots a good beam, so >18 inches to <1" is useful for describing results.
It would only work with similar leds, so my results will not directly translate to yours, but it is less subjective, so I am happier.
Anyway, after a 12 hour recharge by spikes to 1.33v, I am back to over 2 1/2 hours of work with a >18" beam at the fullest recharge.
The <1" beam happened at 1.14v at 2 1/2 hours, so I stopped it.
Also, the battery returned to 1.32v after a half hour rest today too. this is a half hour after it was exhausted lighting a JTC for 2 1/2 hours. I doubt it would go for much longer, and I won't be testing that today, but I might test that later.
So, this is not much of a report, but things are looking brighter!

I should probably add that the spikes were 70v at 45Khz.
