First, I would like to say that I think that you are doing a good job of helping people learn to understand the batteries and charging systems. I want people to know that @3.54 the 20 volt reading that you got is Not the voltage of the battery that you are trying to fix. With the jumpers still attached, you are reading the voltage of both batteries wired in parallel. People who aren't really familiar with electricity can get confused by this and think that they are checking the voltage of the battery they're trying to fix. When repairing old battery packs, most of the time you are going to have to open the case and check voltage on the individual cells. One (or more) cells has usually given up and has to be replaced. (Quick FYI, If folks won't run the battery pack completely dead and will return the discharged battery to the charger when swapped, Your batteries will last many more times.) When you do this and replace a bad cell or two, you need to have another power tool battery to cannibalize for 18650s. The 18650s from laptops and modems won't work for replacements. The cells are not strong enough for heavy discharge like a tool battery. Remember a few years ago all the 'hover-boards' that were catching on fire? The problem with those was, the 18650s that had been installed in China were 'laptop' type 18650s and couldn't handle the heavy/rapid discharge cycle from the hover-board. They needed to be built with the high rating 'Tool' batteries but weren't (for whatever reason), and this caused them to catch on fire. I work on all kinds of batteries and most of the batteries being replaced as dead have had one of three issues. (1) The pack was ran completely dead and then not recharged right away, (2) The battery pack was left in the back of a truck and got rain water in it. And (3) For golf-cart and automotive batteries, the water level wasn't checked and maintained... Nice Video! Ya'll Take Care and be safe, John

Saved a few bucks and just as good, didn't have to create any unnecessary waste.

As these things go I just dropped off 3 batteries at the recycling center this afternoon all dewalt batteries, 2 xrp's the other a nano like the ones in this video. as it turns out I didn't have a nano charger and this battery was beat so no big loss. The Xrp's are ok for what they are , but have upgraded to the 20v lithium ion impact driver and drills. I'm going to try this on some older porter cable and a makita 9.6 which is at least 20 - 25 years old. thanks for the video well done. Wish I came across it 48 hours ago.

As a matter of safety it's a good idea to also check 5he cells. They may be corroded if they've sat for long periods. Like alkaline batts in things like flashlights. Also better to do this in a large well ventilated area just in case. Meantime Phil , thanks for the informative money saving tips sales staff would never tell us. That is, if they even know.

when connecting batteries with such a high differential voltages (nano 1v - Milwaukee 18v), I would add a 12v lamp (brake lamp) in the circuit. at first the lamp will glow but will dim as the low battery charges. No high current arcing or risk of damage and the brightness will indicate progress.

I buy "bad millwakee" batteries on a regular bases for my tools and 80 % I've brought back to life using this technique. There is a percentage that have actully failed and can't be brought back so easily but the ones that do last me years after I do this. Most importantly anyone doing this needs to take the time to learn how to use a dmm and understand at least the basics of volts amps watts and the danger. The danger comes from a lack of basic knowledge so it can be a great technique but it's a must you take the time to understand what your doing and how to properly do it and always take necessary safety measures prior to beginning because crazy things still happen to the most experienced people these people are still around doing it to this day only because they took the safety seriously before beginning each project. Good luck and enjoy saving big money I've saved literally thousands.

I just followed your example and used an 18 vdc battery to charge a 9.6 vdc SKIL cordless drill battery. The battery had not been used for about two years and showed not charge with my volt ohm meter. I touched the contacts for about 5 seconds, observed a spark and then check to see if the dead battery had a charge. My meter read 8+ volts after the brief contact! Then, I attached the charger which remained green (only one led on this charger). When I tried the charger before the procedure, the led light went out (but came back on when I detached the charger). Thank you for your How-to program :)

Is it me or does this Dude sound Like Joe Pesci, lol Man what an excellent Video. I dont even what to know how you figured it all out, all I know that when I purchased my first set of Milwaukee tools, all came with a battery or even a couple of batteries.. I really like Milwaukee over other brands therefore all my tools are milwaukee and if your like me, I like to keep my batteries charged and installed in each tool. I think switching out batteries is a waste of time and I like to get the jobs done rapidly. Here is why I appreciate you and thank you kindly for taking the time to record and placing this great money savings idea. I moved to Michigan from California 6 years ago and did a few adjustments to the new property upon arrival however due to bad weather conditions I had to put everything away 8n the uninsulated garage after 3 weeks of being here in Michigan. Well a few months after almost being burried in snow, I was once again going to continue with a few small projects and I love using my tools for everything...well almost everything. Now get this, while attempting to re-charge severall batteries.....You guessed it... Failed. I thought perhaps the electric panel was not producing correct voltage. So To Make A Short Story Long! I ran to look for a Home Depot and the area where I Reside only have a Humongous Giant Store 3 times bigger than any Home Depot ive visited. well my like sucked cuz they do not supply Milwaukee tools therefore I googled the closest Depot only to be 2hrs away. With only 2 good batteries wirking, I took off to buy a few new batteries so I thought... when I walked up to the shelf OMG... MY JAW dropped to beyond the floor n then some. Jesus Christ My wallet cried and jumped out of my pocket all the way to my truck parked outside. Wow $ 99.00 was the least expensive, the one i wanted which holds charge a little more only came in a 2pk @ $269.99... really? have prices really gone up that much?... so I did the math and ordered at Home Depot Online for an entire new set with 2 chargers bunch batteries n new impacts, repsaw, woodsaw, metal saw, Vacuum etc. 4 days later ups dropped a huge box in front if my door. I was hapoy to have a new set if tools but for some reason, my old tools felt like a tool should feel like in my hand, unlike the new ones felt flimsy. My Old tooks seem to have been made better idk. with all that being said, I saved all the dead batteries hoping that one day I would find a solution and today I came across your Tutorial while looking for a way to adjust my new thermostat. thank you for saving us money n making me smarter.

I work in this industry and this does work. The reason the chargers don't charge a "dead" battery is because its a safety issue, you don't want to charge a dead short, so most of the time you only need to "boost" the charge so the charger senses the battery, most of the time a few seconds is good enough. DO NOT leave a battery "boosting" for and extended time it may end up catching fire, especially lithium batteries can go into a "runaway" state and catch fire. Another tip that does work is put a old battery that seems "weak" in a freezer for a day and then charge.

some won't. i done it for years and eventaully they simply give up doing any trick. a few 6-12 v regular battery's. but especially lithium battery's work the best and last by trick charge the longest i've experienced. old lap top batter's work well by trick charge but can be very dangerous. i charged many . best thing is to keep the charging system built on the batery's of 4-6 small round shape. the system possitive and neg- will help prevent any extremely heating or explosion 💥. the right charging current also . even a regular automatic charging system could cause an explosion. i was lucky staying away from it wile charging it out side and in a some what protected area. 2 battery's exploded and 1 flew about 30 feet smoking hot. sounded like an M80 . never again will i trust the automatic charge set . ya i get it wrong on some forgetting charge setting . 🤔😉 lap top battery's do wonders if i do them creativly with skill some times.

What this shows is it taking a charge after hooking it up to the other charged battery. What it doesn't show us how long of use, of the power tool, he got from each of these charges. That's typically the issue here. It charges, sure, but the charge you get doesn't give you much time of actual use with the tool. Yes, that can vary, but a lot of time these batteries give you very little actual use of your tool. Great to try... Some will give long charges and some won't. 😎🤘

I've watched several of these battery repair videos, and I've seen several times the guy says well it's dead no fixing this one, but he never opens the thing. If you can't get it to charge, and it's showing Zero volts, take the 4 screws out and look inside. There's a fuse inside. Or more like a jumper. It doesn't look like a fuse, but it can melt or even just wiggle loose. If you can tell it's tripped... Melted. You can replace it or... (I'm only telling you what I'VE done several times, I'm NOT saying it's a great idea) I've soldered a thin piece of wire across it (Thin enough, so it will melt if it overloads). You're not on the batteries, so you shouldn't have to worry about puncturing one of them. Or you could splice a real fuse in there. I've fixed more like that than I have by jumping them.

I used a yellow Dewalt xps battery to charge my dead car battery enough to start the car. Used some drill bits to extend the points and jumper cables to connect.

Sometimes individual battery cells can get reversed. You can't overcome that with two terminal charging. To over come that, charge the battery as best as you can then open it up and measure the voltage across each battery. If any of them are reversed, you need to get that cell to be positive again. Apply a voltage to just that cell in short bursts until it is at least +0.5V then charge the pack as normal and it should be back.

This is why magnetic pulse generation works great. So like quite Bidini motor used as a charger will restore most batteries that are not just trash. I think if we were to charge them every time this way it would add a ton of worth to batteries. Haven't done it but my research shows the possibilities.

@@terryhardesty246 the batteries haven't been brought back to life, what is actually happening is the BMS has sensed the cell voltage is too low or unbalanced from over discharge. it cut the output of the pack to stop cells being permanently damaged or exploding. pack goes into hibernation. charger is designed to sense this and not charge an over discharged battery as a precaution, when you apply power into the output of a "dead" battery, it bypasses the BMS. "the built in safety system". I have performed this 72 times and only 3 failed. first failure just melted the pack,,,, second failure burned down the shed, not a great deal,, the third failure caused 4.3milion dollars damage to the complex I was living in. if you think these odds are good,,, give it a go,, if you do a lot of them, it will end in sadness eventually unless you have all precautions in place.

Or you could just buy Ridged tools with lifetime battery warranty . I'm still using the same drill I bought 17 years ago on it's sixth set of batteries . Far better than any Dewalt I ever owned . Great video on saving old batteries . No I don't have any connection to Ridged but it's the only battery powered tool I buy now .

Exellent info Phil thanks. Fol;k say it's good to run your battery right down, apparently the Battery gets a better charge but if they have been stood around for 9 months uncharged i expect this is what creates the threshold problem you refer to? So it isn't in the Batteries best interest to try and drain it completely?
