I'd be careful with this - I have a feeling that a worn-out cell doesn't go into negative dV, and you end ep 
cooking it.  I can't say for sure, but I've had very sophisticated chargers end up frying cells that I 
believed to be a bit dodgy, but wanted to see if they'd charge...

And I think you need to be even more careful if you're charging a battery rather than individual cells - one 
cell's +dV may mask another's -dV !
