Dead Battery Fix & Xbox 360 Play and Charge Rechargeable Battery Fix (Not with paperclip)

[@tribble10]

Thanks for all your comments. So pleased it is helping people recycle batteries rather than just binning them!

[@carlosfilho5870]

I got 3 dead batteries back in action with your help. Thanks a lot!..... But since I haven't a power pack like yours I used a 9V alkaline battery. Works like a charm!

[@ibobeko4309]

4 years later you saved my ass, i watched him and thought fuck damn i dont anything he has. Than i read your comment, i used 2 paperclips and 9v battery from my nephews toy firefighter trucker. It is working :D Thank you bro, had a macgyver moment in my life :D

[@stickfigure0112]

It worked!!!! i used 9v battery and paper clips .... (+) to pin 2 and (-) to pin 5... it worked perfectly

[@ianbuckyoface8996]

stickfigure01 same I did too

[@zascruyt]

Thank you I got it to work again!!!

[@emmanuelturquin5303]

Yes!! I tried all variants of the paper clip trick, to no avail. The Xbox battery's voltage was at a complete zero. Following your method, I jump-started it for 10-20s using a 9V battery, and it is now charging with the usual red light as I'm writing this. :) Thanks!

[@ukg1212]

Thanks, man I tried every method on the internet and finally your method worked!Thanks.

[@tarassboulbaleterrible8793]

Thanks a lot. After 4 or 5 charges and 2 years no gaming, my battery was dead. After your instructions, it works as a new!!!! You're great. Ten thousands thanks!

Its frikking 2021 and I decided to take out my old trusty Xbox360 elite and play some Forza Motorsport 2... The damn batteries died, untill I found your video. Had also an old Nikko 9.6v battery charger (puts out about 12v) but what the heck, it worked like a charm! The charging cable is lighting up red, and pins 2 and 4 were showing 0.0v, but after the method it shows 1.4v again! Thanks so much for making this video waaaay back in 2015!

[@tribble10]

Glad to help and thanks so much for your comment!

[@thedonutkillermandude3668]

Very good explaination and it totally works! I did mine with an old 5V cellphone charger It's the first time ever that I use the battery. It malfuction right from the start and I bought it along with the console in 2008! Thank you very much!

[@prebenfrank1355]

Damn thanks man, saved me 2 battery packs. one was 0.6v and the other 0.09v to begin with. 5 minutes of getting a 12v 1A brick, cutting its cables and doing your trick worked excellent. Idk if this has anything on the longevity of the batteries but they charge and work!

[@omegakenshin]

Thank you, I'd tried everything else, and this is what truly worked for me, I really appreciate you sharing this video.

[@StefanKrunic]

I used a drained 9 volt battery (which was down to 8 volts), and it worked like a f*cking charm! Big thanks mate!

[@dextermosser7150]

it works ...after to many other video that didnt ..you are the best.

[@MrTolonkuxa]

Ty very much, i gave up trying to revive my battery after the paperclip trick... finally i got it working

[@tribble10]

So pleased this is helping people out! :)

[@Evaldas65]

Love you man, this worked like a charm! Here's hoping that it actually holds a charge, it seems to be charging normally now! :)

[@raiderman28]

i tried it on 3 batterys, and seems to be charging...sweet video thanks !!!

[@danieljennerman7549]

I used this method to recover two Nyko batteries. I don't have a DC power supply like in the video but my car battery charger only puts out 10 volts at the 2 amp setting and it did the trick to "jump start" my controller batteries.

[@DUKETACTICS333]

Yeah but you're not showing us which wire is the positive or the negative you're just talking about while the wires aren't even view? And then you place the wires on so I'm assuming you put the positive wire to the positive and the negative to the negative?

[@brucebraainz2957]

Hi! Its ok if I use a 9v 200mAh Ni-MH rechargeable battery to make it jump start? sadly I dont have access to a power supply like yours, and I dont know if a battery of that amperage will be enough, and if I must leave it making contact for more time to work.

[@lindsywhiting3936]

Dude, your camera zooms in when you say which is the negative and positive, so we don't actually KNOW which one should be used to touch the battery.

[@lindsywhiting3936]

I presume you are holding to Red being positive and black being negative, and that you wouldn't have switched the wire positions after.

[@tribble10]

Your wires may well look different to mine so use a multimeter to check which is +ve or -ve. The Red multimeter wire is always +ve so if you connect the wires and the meter says for example -9.00v it means the -ve wire is connected to the Red multimeter wire. (which is the wrong way round) If the reading says simply 9.00v (like in the video) the the correct +ve wire has been connected to the Red multimeter wire and that is the one to put on Pin 2 and the other must be the -ve to put on pin 5

[@ruanvantonder2712]

thanks for sharing. will defnitly give this a try

[@danielshiroma6774]

It worked once but then it wasn't charging again after the battery died. Now when I tried this again it starts to sparkle when I touch the cord on it

[@thezcguy]

Thanks.... this worked for me!!!

[@ngahsarah8555]

super helpful thanks

[@evelone_192]

*For Russian* Помогло. Если кратковременное подключение к сети не помогает, попробуйте подержать хотя бы несколько часов.

[@albertokramer247]

Thanks!!!!! It works

[@juandelacruz-ny6xy]

What is that power lab?

[@tribble10]

juan de la cruz hi, the Power lab thing is just a 240v to multiple voltage transformer, which can be set at 3, 6, 9,12 volts but try and use one with a decent ampage , like 1.3ah to 3ah

[@juandelacruz-ny6xy]

Thanks, i dont have one of those. it might be cheaper to get a battery. The paper clip method worked for me before but now it wont.

[@sonicwolfsdutch]

dammit if put the + on - and the - on + used a car battery it did poof and smoke came and it doesnt work it says 500 ohms rip battery

[@mariodiy4517]

I did the same to an Energizer brand battery and it bricked the circuit board. The rechargeable batteries were salvageable sfter taking it apart. I just use them to power my GameCube Wavebird controller.

[@benjaminyoung3670]

So how do i do it my battery is not working need help

[@tribble10]

Hi, unfortunately not all rechargeable batteries can be saved. If you have followed the video and it doesn't work then chances are the battery is dead. :(

[@benjaminyoung3670]

Hello wood the battery below up

[@tribble10]

If you mean blow up, i'd say unlikely with a 12v 2a power supply following the instructions. Remember you only touch the connectors for a second, you DO NOT leave the power supply connected to the battery or indeed it may blow up!

[@F-o-s-t-e-k]

Thanks, works great.
