All cars ive drive do that

Why will that hurt anything?

Guess they'll keep making junk

Are you Jeff Daniels?

Good info but you can literally take them to a mileaukee dealer and swap them out or have them sent off for warranty

That's why you need to keep a rescue battery and a set of jumpers. Simply jump the voltage from one battery to the other. You should be good to go. Same concept works with all battery types, dewalt Milwaukee.

This is the quality you get with brands like Makita that people do not think about. Part of building a quality battery pack is matching the cells by capacity AND internal resistance. I have a feeling Milwaukee skipped the latter.

Its because the battery is at or above 75% and doesnt need to be chsrged and doing so could damage cells. Let it get to 25% or less . Admittedly i am bad about topping off my m18 and m12 and dewalt and makita batteries too soon but it does harm the battery.

Ive had this happen a few times with a Ryobi battery. I usually just use it until it drained and recharge it and it goes back to 4 bars

Great fix thanks for taking the time to video it. In the UK I couldn't imagine Milwaukee turning down a warranty claim based on date on manufacture and not purchase date, everything here seems to go by purchase date.

Unfortunately Milwaukee and many others, unlike Makita, don't have battery protection in their tools meaning tools that use a lot of battery like cold saws or angle grinders can drain the batteries too much resulting in overdrained cells and bugged/dead batteries Really a shame when batteries are so expensive

M12 6.0 do the same

Can you hold the button down on the battery for a few seconds and see if it recalibrates?

Cells need balanced

8ah batteries are renowned for only charging to 3 lights. It’s not a charger problem kiddo, it’s the battery

Makita.... Problem solved.

It would be nice if batteries had proper active balancing bms's in them. But I guess thats too much to ask for.

Great cheap fix. 1 star caused a fire. Dont recommend this channel.

Lovely video demo. Wanted to make one as well as I have had this issue with 3 of my 12Ah 18V and 2 of my 9Ah 18V batteries. Balanced the cells several times the last few years. It only works for a few weeks to months at best. It is unfortunately a very common issue. This cell balancing solution I've tried as well, but with a Dc powerstation. Works similar to these usb c pcb charging boards, but with a power station you can increase the voltage to manage the charging speed, which does help.speed things up, when used with caution and properly and you know the charging characteristics of voltage vs current based charging. I think the elephant in the room is that the Milwaukke 18V batteries din't have a good quality cell balancing bms board. Tool scientist youtube channel made a nice video on this, worth watching. In my view and experience I have come to notice this a glaring issue with many milwaukee 18V packs, especially the 9 and 12Ah packs. I like these packs, power and versatility on the platform. But I'm noticing that the cell balancers and communication protocols are not good features on the pack. I think an active cell balancer on the bms board of all 18V packs would greatly improve battery health and longevity of the Milwaukee packs. This demo is, in my experience, not really a fix, but a plaster on a wound that will get bigger over time without fixing the root cause.

Thanks for the video but man what a joke. I got some Milwaukie tools a couple years ago and the batteries both have this issue already. I've had my Makita batteries for 6+ years and they all charge fully. I'll not be buying anymore Milwaukie tools! The tools work fine but if the batteries are junk.

7yrs later, u saved me from getting reemed out from my foreman, god bless ya brother

Just an FYI they sell replacement M18 Battery main boards that support equal cell charging, it just required some mid level soldering capabilities. About $13 at Amazon or if you dare AliExpress for $4. Happy upgrading.

did you record the audio with a moldy potato?

Hi what the brand and model number of that puncher? TY

do you really think people have time/rescores to try and claw back tiny bits of data when its much easier to just send a scam email or text and they often have more success that way too.... this is just straight paranoia

wasteful paranoia

There are free apps to zero out the hdd, it is safe. These old macs are everything but useless. You can whack 16gb of ram in there, put in an ssd, a new battery, use opencore legacy patcher to install sequoia, and you have a perfectly up to date macbook for a student or a person on a budget! These macs are more usefull than a newer M series one. Why? Because they can take a plethora of operating systems, windows, linux and macos offcourse, while the newer macs only can take macos (for now?). No need to destroy ram, or destroy the wifi chip, or the ram sticks or whatever, that's actually pretty stupid if you ask me, because those chips don't contain anything that can get back to you. Mac addresses have nothing to do with you personaly, only with your device, if you delete the device out of your registered devices on your wifi network, no need to destroy the wifi chip. You do nothing but waste your own time and waste perfectly good working hardware. You can do it, by all means, go ahead i would say, the more devices you remove from earth, the more my devices will be worth in the future. So, thank you i guess?

It sounds like possibly one or a combination of flaws: * the internal BMS does not have a balancing function (saves a few pennies) or * the battery is not left on the charger long enough to balance or * the charger does not provide a trickle balance current after reaching what it thinks is "full" Maybe the "fix" is to wire in a balance connector like used on hobby LiPos and use a hobby charger to periodically balance charge. If I have to do this twice to the same pack, I'll be wiring in a balance connector.

There are services that even restore data from broken disks, so there is no point in doing it. Especially if the disk is working, it is better to keep it for an additional one, e.g. just buy a USB cable.

sir are you restarted? Just destroy the drive and call it a day? This some schizophrenia shit to be destroying the volatile memory, your BIOS, your screen. Please don't call yourself a techtuber its embarrassing to people who know technology

?????????????????????

This has to be a troll. Just remove the HDD/SSD and use it as an external HDD/SSD. With the rest Clean it up and donate to a school or Sell it. Reuse or Recycle. I hack Hardware and Software. This is pointless...

a lo to of zeros in ssd?

I thought he was going to do something cool like set up hive os, a nas, or a FTS (file transfer server). everyone knows how to destroy a HDD

ok, so i have several issues with your procedures: First of all - Why so paranoid? Unless you have a large business or govt after you, there really is no need to go that in-depth. remove the hdd and platters if you must but why break a functional machine?. Second - Destruction of a useful machine is just bonkers. all the circuit boards on that machine can be used to resurrect dead components, especially when it comes to data recovery Seriously, unless you are someone powerful and/or seriously upset someone powerful you are not going to get hacked from data on used components - 9 time out of 10 its NOT worth the effort.

Anytime I got rid of a PC I remove the hard drive. That's it

There is in reality only one chip that you need to destroy to render drive unrecoverable. Its an eeprom with drive specific aligment data and stuff. Its usually one of small chips, if you look it up by number it should be some form of persistent (not ddr/ram) memory. Nobody can really do anything useful with your mac addresses or serial numbers. 4:54 looking at glance my guess is thats the eeprom on top left, and its fairly standard place where it is too (one you point at at 5:22)

This was hard to watch.

Just drill a hole in the hard drive and call it a day. Breaking the DRAM chips does nothing but waste a perfectly good set of RAM. The odds of a 'hacker' spending the time to obtain data from other components on a random trash computer to "tie it back to you you" is next to zero. Sure, if it's a targeted attack a very small percentage of people could arguably find some things useful but that's a whole other conversation. Sell parts like the memory online and/or take the system it in pieces to a big box recycler.

So basically creating e-waste just because you think anyone cares about your porn folder. A little too paranoid I would say. Taking out the HD should be enough for 99.9999% of the people, unless you're a high profile target for hackers.

Just a thought. Rather then charge 3 banks up to level of the fourth would it be quicker to drain the the high one down to the lower level put it back together and charge on Milwaukee charger see if they all come up together. I am going to try that with mine.

Milwaukee batteries are good quality samsungs ... the problem is the shitty designed PCB . No proper balanced built on it . REPLACE the pcb with a Ali express $8 one and problem solved . The chinese knockoff pcb seems better then the OEM milwaukee 😩

I use it with an electric (220V) chainsaw and I'm happy. I drilled the bar, so it doesn't bend at all, I'm able to pull out pretty straight boards quite fast. Easy and quick to mount, for 40$ I think it's worth it

gonna give this a go myself. Two flakey HD12 and those bastards ain't cheap.

did you take the guide lever cover off tractor -the plastic /glove box or just work from the top? i tried to remove it....fail....i then tried to pry out accessory outlet-good grief...fail...thanks for any info

I watched another review that the person preferred the Yanmar Operator station because it felt like a bigger tractor and had the most storage space. Not to mention it outperformed the deere (2 series) and Kubota bx2601. Now i have conflicting information!

Where can I get one of those chargers with alligator clips?

If you saved your receipt, the battery warranty would've been warrantied from date of purchase
