Nvidia support says you must have the glasses serviced by Nvidia authorized if the battery is bad. Has anyone been successful in doing this? How do you get working glasses if all the new glasses are dead on arrival?

They are not dead on arrival!
Just got a new pair, bought at a local store, and they works perfect :)

Thats great that you got lucky finding a working pair at some obscure 3rd party shop, but knowing the widespread issue with the lithium battery in the glasses, Nvidia either has to offer sales or service support or allow us to use other brands of shutter glasses that are available as a replacement.

Well, it's not an obscure shop, it's actually one of the bigger online shops here, which acidentially also has a physical shop near my place :) https://www.proshop.dk/Fladskaerms-TV-Tilbehoer/NVIDIA-GeForce-3D-Vision-2-Wireless-Kit/2299366
I have a habbit of keeping track of how many pairs they have in stock, and that makes me capable of estimating their sales to something like 10-20 pairs every month.
So it's not old dusty hardware they have on their shelves ;)

I bought 3 pairs several years ago when bo3b posted that they were on sale for $65 (or there abouts) including the emitter.
Two of the 3 had batteries that were DOA.
I followed Bloody's advice from 3D Vision Blog and pulse charged them. It worked to get them charged and they are all still currently working.

I did it for an entire movie for one pair of my glasses.
The problem is that if the battery falls below a certain threshold, the circuitry will not pass the current needed to charge it.
But an insy tinsy miniscule amount of current is initially sent to the battery as a test of it's current state. When the result returns that it's defective, no charging takes place.
So by pulse charging, you add a little bit each time, thus pushing the battery up past the no-charge threshold.

For what it's worth, I just bought a new pair of 3D Vision 2 glasses from B&H Photo. They came in an unopened new box.
Battery was fully empty, showing red at power on. I let them charge for 4 hours on normal PC USB charging, and they were fully charged.
They are working correctly and battery seems fine.
You are not going to find any working 3D Vision 1 glasses however. Those have not been manufactured for more than 5 years. I vastly prefer the comfort of the Vision 1 glasses, but the only option here is to replace the battery.
