How to FIX CAMERA BATTERY not Charging

Did you completely drain your camera battery and now it won't charge? This is a potential fix that worked for me. If you don't have the same battery you can use other power supplies/chargers or batteries to bring life back to your dead battery.

Worked great for my Artman LP-E17 batteries. Flashing red lights on the charger. I hadn't used them in a year. This brought them back to life. Thanks!

So basically it's the charger that refuses to charge if the terminal voltage drops below a threshold. ~2V in this case happened to be below the threshold so the charger wasn't doing anything. You bypassed the charger logic and forced it to accept charge from another battery for a few seconds.. and voila, terminal voltage at least temporarily went above the threshold and charger started charging again. I am going to try on my Lumix S1 battery and let you know how it goes. I don't have a multimeter though, so I will just connect the batteries in parallel.

That is exactly it, you did a better explanation than I did. As for why that happens, battery chargers have some kind of a failsafe to prevent either damage to your devices or missuse.

I just tried this with a bad Olympus Li-10B battery, in 20 seconds it went from 0.2 to 3.1 volt and now it is charging. Thank you for showing this method.

@JackallDigital Жыл бұрын

I'm happy to hear that you got your battery back up and charging. Just remember, if a battery reaches a very low charge level then this method will not work. An example that I can give is a 18V drill battery, I managed to bring it to life once with this method, but then some one drained it too much and even this method didn't help and the battery had to be disposed.

That is a little bit strange but it's great to hear that it worked for you even with a lower voltage. So thank you for sharing your experience.

Gonna try this on one of my lumixs1 batteries that's not charging and hopefully it will work..what kind of wires did you use.?

@JackallDigital Жыл бұрын

I had a short piece of multi strand wire that had solder on the ends. It doesn't matter if it is a single core wire or a wire with multiple copper strands. The only thing that you need to make sure is that you have a good contact on the batteries and that the wire is not too long.

@janhale1804 4 ай бұрын

So how would you use the batteries? You have them neg to pos with cables at the end connecting to the camera battery?

@JackallDigital 4 ай бұрын

Let's see if I understand you correctly, you want to power the camera with the battery using cables, like a dummy battery of sorts? If that is the case then you could probably do that with cables if you managed to hook them or fix them to the camera pins. However, some cameras have 4 pins. One pin is for displaying battery level, you don't need to connect this pin, but the other pin is for battery temperature - you need to connect a resistor to it. Assuming that works, the camera also needs a hole of some sorts for the cables to go out to the battery or external power supply. If I misunderstood, please explain a bit more what you meant. As for the connections, you always connect negative to negative and positive to positive, even if you are using cables.

Hi, what kind of cables do I need?

@JackallDigital 9 ай бұрын

There is nothing specific about the cables, maybe the only thing is that the wires are thick and firm enough for you to hold on the contacts

Does this work for NPF batteries?

@JackallDigital 6 ай бұрын

I don't have any experience with NPF batteries, but if it is empty and not charging then you have nothing to lose by trying this out. For a good measure you could do it outside in case you'd need to throw the battery into an open space.

But whats happened with other battery ?

@JackallDigital Ай бұрын

One battery was good and the other was not. I used the good battery to bring the faulty one back to life. Similarly to how one can jump start a car battery. Both batteries still work just fine to this day.
