Charging tweak revives lost lithium to boost battery capacity & lifespan

"targeting the isolated islands of lithium with a voltage could shake them into action, and cause them to physically move between the electrodes... the lithium island wasn't actually "dead," but would respond to the battery operations by slowly creeping toward one electrode during charging, and slowly creeping towards the other during discharging... If we can keep the lithium worm moving, it will eventually touch the anode (one of the two electrodes) and reestablish the electrical connection"
