My little brother had bought a first gen Nvidia Shield which had these battery issues.
Long story short, a couple of months ago he told me I could have the old bricked one since he thought I'd be able to make it work again.
As far as i have figured out the problem, the final update which deactivates the tablet corrupts the bootloader.
Is there any way to reactivate the old tablet at all?

You'd be better off asking this on xda, but I'm pretty sure once it's received the update, you're screwed.

It fucks the bootloader up, you are supposed to remove the Nvidia upload manager before it downloads the bricking package.

There might be something similar to Intel's xfstk for it. I corrupted the shit out of my Zenfone 2 once and had to use xfstk to revive it.

read the thread on there but all I got was that without the SBK I wouldnt be able to perform an nvflash to restore the bootloader.

Got the tablet after it deactivated so not much I could do.

Thank you for your tipp. I'll look if theres something similiar to xfstk.
Did xfstk work with the device shown as an APX device?
