Where do you get the 3M covers?

Never knew rebuild and replace are synonymous when it comes to batteries.

One of the few well done videos on you tube. One thing though. What should the voltage be on one cell

Just picked up a spot welder. Hope to be able to help some friends out. Where is a good supply for replacement cells and the flat metal leads? Thanks, Wes

What is the make and molder of the spot welder in your video ?

Fantastic job how much do you charge to rebuild battery like u to rebuild 4 batteries

Do the individual cells need balancing before making the battery?

Everytime he was soldering, you can see the screw holding the solder sparkle...

What brand and model of welder is that?

NEVER EVER turn a screw forward when putting it back into a hole.. I turn it backward very slowly until I hear and feel it drop into the original thread groove. Then Just as it fully drops into an original thread groove, I turn it forward and feel if it has any binding resistance. If it does, I turn it backwards again until I hear/feel one more click.. Then I turn it forward and feel if it is following the correct groove.. And always put the same screw into the same hole.. This insures that the threads don't get stripped...

What name brand is your spot welder an where to purchase. Thank you

You said to recycle ♻️, ok. But would you be able to test each individual battery to see which one of them are really dead? Sometimes we have only one dead battery!

@vilsonpinto7718 11 ай бұрын

What type of battery did you use to replace the old ones?

@alexandres8846 3 жыл бұрын

To balance nimh battery packs, a circuit with two 1n4007 diodes in series plus a resistance of 1 to 10 ohms is used.The voltage drop in each diode is 0.7 volt x 2 is 1.4 volts.The resistance limits the intensity of the balancing current. Being soldered to all nimh cells this increases the life and performance of the battery pack.

Sounds like a ton of work, should probably just upgrade your tools.

@alexandres8846 Жыл бұрын

@@scottcook414 easy versión by balancing the cells with resistors in each of a value between 430 ohm to 1k ohm. this applied to battery packs on old satellites google patent information.

Why do this? Answers: This is more fun. Because we can. And looking below, some people don't have reliable access to battery pack replacement or even new tools. I think the DIY is fun, to a point. I don't have a welder or sottering gun, so I don't see myself doing this regardless, but I ahave a recently dead Dewalt 18volt NiCad battery pack and I don'twant to buy new ones. I'll try to jump it, not rebuild, but still, I get it.

A little fast with respect to the "spacer"? but overall nice explanation. Some blocked shots too... maybe a tad bit slower would allow for better camera shots. Thanks for the video.

Why, when non branded new battery packs are so cheap?

@ceeweedsl Жыл бұрын

Because they use cheaper cells that are rejects and have lower capacity?

lotta work to rebuild these packs...geesh..i thought u could just remove a few screws, take the case apart, desolder old bats, solder in new ones might as well just buy em new already made for $50 lol, dont have a spot welder, just soldering iron...sighh...wanted to buy high end r/c car batteries as I'm into that hobby, and use them in a pack for my drill..my research tells me theyre the same batts in size/type etc
