This is the entire salvaging process of a Makita power tool battery. These are high discharge 18650 cells and you can basically power anything with them. The sky is the limit. Actually the sky is not the limit as you can fly a drone with it, too! Here are some other videos where I used the batteries for:
1. Quadcopter: • Drone battery hack: Ca...
2. RC car: • RC car battery hack: l...
3. Plexiglass cutter: • DIY: Home made Cordles...
4. More to come...

18650 cells are actually named for their dimensions. 18 means 18mm diameter, 65 means 65 mm length, and 0 means cylinder configuration. Thus 18650.

A FYI. The cells in parallel are always going to be the same because a electrical connection is made between the two. There is no way to measure individual voltage when they are electrically connected by the metal strip.

No you don't. You still need to capacity test, match and spot weld them back together. Also, when a pair of cells drop to under voltage limit, the BMS will often lock the pack so it will never charge again even with new cells. There is a lot more to it than the very first steps shown in this video.

VIDEO IS REALLY GOOD. I like your voice and tone of teaching. I have repaired a few packs for my own tools and some for friends. I have a Worx 24v pack for a line trimmer I purchased new several years ago. I purchased two of the packs (best that Worx had at the time). My wife left one pack on the charger outside exposed to overspray during high winds and rain, The charger was plugged into power. I discovered the battery and charger while I was troubleshooting the loss of video that the camera normally covered in the area where my wife left the battery and charger. The power supply for the camera was disconnected from the ACvcc and the battery charger was connected in the place the camera power supply normally is connected. I did not even think about yelling because after all, she does do all the string trimming around the place. I simply put the battery and charger back in the charging room where she discovered that one of the batteries would not charge this spring. I took the dead battery pack apart expecting to see all kinds of damage. There is no weather or rain damage. All six of the NCR20700B cells look perfect. However the voltage on each one has 1.9vcc and that will drain down to almost zero in about thirty seconds. I have not broken open any spot welds yet. I plan to jumper a 4v DC power source to each cell for about a minute and then check for voltage and voltage drop. I have not worked with any NCR20700B cells prior to this time. I suspect that they have been totally discharged by the balancing circuit protection system. The 30A in-line fuse on the - side of the load is good. If the cells prove to be defective then I probably will not order new cells at $9.US because Worx sells their newer 24vcc pack for $80.00US with 3Yr warranty. I can buy complete NEW Worx 20Vcc trimmer with 2 x 20V battery packs with charger shipped for $100US. One last thing: I suspect the battery pack was made by the same Chinese plant that Dewalt uses for their packs. I wish you much success. jj
@vuaeco
@vuaeco 5 жыл бұрын
Looks like the cells are just discharged. The water probably just caused some short circuit and drained the cells. Try the parallel charging method for each individual cell to see if they would increase the voltage. Once the voltage increase to about 3V per cell, they will take a charge.

I found him very easy to listen to myself, very good English, but straightforward style that covers everything, just a little bit of rambling. Giving back: when stripping batteries with the thick nickel strips, if one doesn't want to come off, I would take a grinder to it instead of risking making a hole. I've had nothing but headaches with those HF meters, so I broke down and bought me a good old school analog meter: best thing I could have done!

The voltage reads zero because there is no connection with the electrode inside. The positive end of the cell has a diaphragm that pops up with internal gassing due to heating, charging, and natural aging. You can press the diaphragm back down with a needle and release the gas to make contact with the electrode again. Likely have more than 50% capacity left in the cells reading zero volts.

On those security screws you can also take small flat head screw drive like what you would use on eye glasses and twist it between that pin inside the hole and they pop right off the you can use a standard torn bit . And use electric your drill or driver to the remove them. It's a lot faster

In almost all cases that will snap your flat screwdriver off leaving a shard of metal in there that blocks even a Torx Security bit from fitting in there. You certainly can't do that with Makita packs, the pin is exceptionally strong and you cannot drill it out either. Just buy a set of the correct bits.

I'm finding quite a lot of 0v cells in my laptop batteries (HP with LG cells) but I think the CID has popped - which makes me think that these cells are prone to failing??) Anyway, most have been between 1v to 2.5v but take a charge, will be tested them in intervals to determine if they discharge quickly... Keep making these videos!!
