I want to make new pack A123 , and bought on ebay 2 Dewalt packs to obtain the cells, In one pack I have two cells with .720 and .625 volts , the pack is still assembled. Are these dead or should I try to charge them with the others or simply discart them?

Those two cells are not happy cells. I would try and get the seller to replace the whole battery. If he won't then you can try to charge them and see if they come up, nothing to lose.

Status: offline 		Thank you all,

I can't return the pack because it would be more expensive than buying the two separate cells, also the pack is unassembled, I found out when I was getting the cells. Tomorroy I will try to charge back the two cells. Do you have any Idea how to charge this cells, I have different ways. (Ice charger, Schultze ) this have problems because they precheck the cell count. Cell phone chargers, sony lion charger , radioshack batery charger for Nimh . ???? Any Ideas ?

Thx
