@AccuracySpeaks I was just wondering if a charger might work to revive a battery that won't take a charge. Just a thought
@AccuracySpeaks 7 күн бұрын
@RayH- I'd say it's certainly possible, but I'd make sure the charging output of the charger was within acceptable specs of the batteries before doing so, or you may have a bomb on your hands. If you haven't seen a battery blow up, you certainly don't want to! Shoot, my 12v battery charger is the same as the Milwaukee, as it has the "smart" feature too, in fact, I've probably thrown away a dozen perfectly good batteries because of it, man it p's me off! Now, if I need to charge a completely dead auto battery, I have to jump it. I guess the good news is that at least I learned and now can remedy the situation.

Another reason you can get that discouraging red to green alternate flashing is if you haven’t inserted the battery all the way in. I know it sounds fatuos, nevertheless it is a rookie mistake that happen to me the very first time I unpacked a brand new starter kit. 🤦🏻♂️ Just wanted to leave this comment to avoid anyone else from feeling the way I did as a result of lack of experience. After watching the video I learned how to assertively insert the battery all the way into the slot. Thanks for the video very useful!

I'd suppose any two lead insulated conductive wire/cable you can find may work. make sure of the polarity while hooking up the wires, or you may cook them! We're simply trying to transfer a little current to bypass the "smart" feature of the charger to show just a little voltage to bypass the "smart feature". I wouldn't, under any circumstances, hook up a very small gauge wire to the batteries and leave it for any length of time. As far as the proper gauge wire, I haven't done the calculations, as I just used some speaker wire I had laying around to accomplish the very low-tech cheat. In other words. be very careful if you use small gauge wire, keep an eye on it, and make sure it doesn't get too hot, watch the insulation for visual heat markers. If you have any issues, jerk the wires off. That said, I think my speaker wire I used was 18 ga. or there abouts, and I had zero issues, however, I did not leave them hooked up for very long. If I had some scrap heavier gauge wire laying around, I would have reached for it. One place folks get into trouble with electrical projects is utilizing too small of gauge wire for projects. For instance, with extension cords around the house using high amperage appliances that draw too much current for the cord. With extension cords, bigger is better and copper is superior to aluminum. The bottom line is, be very careful and be present when you're performing the task, the outcome is on you. If you're not sure, don't do it. Batteries, especially these new very high power Lithium ones can be very dangerous, safety glasses are a must! If you have never witnessed a battery explode, I can tell you, you do not want to! Especially a car battery, they can very easily END you! They're like an acid-filled grenade going off! I witnessed a battery blow up when I was a kid with my dad in an old Chevy truck he had, it was something I'll never forget, very violent explosion! I'm thankful we were in the cab of the truck when it blew, it was insane! Hope this helped, not trying to scare you, just laying it all out there so to speak.

@AccuracySpeaks 2 ай бұрын
Hey brother (sister/it, haha), I just measured the screw for you. The measurements, according to a brand new set of Mitutoyo calipers are as follows: diameter across the threads- 2.95mm. the total length of the screw is 8.90mm from the very top of the socket head to the base of the screw. Measuring below the socket head to the end of the screw I'm getting 5.80mm. The thread pitch is without question .5mm based on a German thread gauge. Hope it helps, if you need a video, I can do that for you as well. The socket head takes a 2.5mm hex key. This is a factory original screw.

The chargers fine its the stupid bms in the m18 packs. They're a joke, it's more common the 9 ah and 12 ah that go to shit in my experience, nearly all of them end up doing this (I have one with about 15 charge cycles on it that's playing up already). I can't tell if they're just poorly made or it's planned obsolescence. This is only a temp fix. Now the ones I've done this to flash as empty on the battery and the charger says they're full, multi meter says 14v. Only way to fix now is buying a spot welder and cells to replace the dodgy ones.

I had the same issue with a brand new drill and battery package bought from Home Depot. Instead of following these directions, I noticed that the batteries had 1 bar left of charge. I put each battery into the drill and ran it for 10 seconds or so and then back into the charger. Now, both batteries are charging fine. Somehow the batteries need to be "woken up" before charging. Bizarre. Seems like a consumer complaint or something should be done to warn shoppers about this.

If your using your tool and when it is almost a dead battery you'll hear the tool slow down. Stop right there and put it on the charger when the battery cools down. Never run your battery to the completely dead point . .... The charger is looking for 18 volts to know what to charge your battery with. If you run it to long it'll be a voltage the charger does not know and faults out the charger

THANK YOU! This (my own similar method) worked for me, with a simple 9V battery as the donor. My drill, battery, and charger were all brand new. I used the drill till the battery was depleted, so I went to charge it for the first time, and it wouldn't charge; I got the alternating red/green lights on the charger. Didn't know WHAT could be wrong, this stuff is BRAND NEW! I found your video. Now, I did not have a second battery to use as the donor charge, so I tried a 9V battery. Hooked up the wires, + to +, - to -, and let it sit for about 10 minutes. Neither battery got hot, nor did the wires. After the ten minutes, I disconnected the wires and slid the battery onto its charger, and BAM... red charging lights! AWESOME! Thank you so much. Now I just hope I don't have to do this every single time the battery is depleted.
