Hi,Li-ion batteries have a heap of protection to stop them from catching fire
My mobile is refusing to charge the battery. For reasons that
I don't need to go into (but will if you want), I suspect that this
is a fault with the phone not the battery.
Can I recharge the battery by just connecting the terminals
on the charger plug to the terminals on the battery, for an
hour or so, or is something more complicated than this
required?
TIA

from overcharging or short circuiting. One battery I saw included a little
PIC to monitor the voltage on each cell. There are fuses, thermal fuses and
all sorts of control circuits. Also, if a battery gets discharged too far
then the protection circuit will prevent it from recharging and it can't be
reset even if you get new cells. When that happens it's a dead battery and
time to dispose of it, as many laptop owners can tell you.
If you mess with Li-ion then do it outdoors away from anything that you
don't want to burn.
