will recycle the power helps?

I got few of battery operated devices (MP4, mobile phone etc..) not able to charge up, the support person give me a instruction to do which I don't thing it is right from my knowledge, can any one tell me more about this? or what it is the correct way to recovery the battery.

To recover sleeping battery pack. You have to do the following as precisely as possible.
1. connect the charger to unit
2. hold the end of the charger (the one u plug to the wall) with another hand.
3. from here, plug in the wall the charger for 1 second (count one one thousand) then plug out again for 1 second. then plug back in, then out again. This routine you do for an entire 2 minutes, again at 1 second increments.
4. after the whole 2 minutes, plug back in the charger end to the wall and charge the unit for 24 hours. when doing this, NEVER TRY turning on the unit. NEVER!!!
5. after 24 hours, plug it out and do #3 again.
6. after so, try turning on the unit.

Thanks

I can't imagine how that is anything but an urban legend. A battery is a chemical device and as such is governed by pretty well known physical-chemistry principals. For this idea to be true, the act of cycling the charge in 1 sec intervals must somehow move ions more or better than constant power. Very doubtful. If it were true, it would be very easy for the battery mfgr's to make the charger pulse way more consistently than you can by plugging and unplugging.

If a battery is dead the most reasonable explanation is that the chemistry is used up. Replace it.

Anybody else hear of this?
