How To Upgrade Black & Decker Pivot Driver PD360 to 18650 Lithium Ion Battery Free

[@LumenChaser]

Great use of the 18650, brought it back to life for sure!

[@FixItYourself]

Yea, I figured why throw it out when I could use it still.

[@xferxferx]

Just followed your tutorial, worked like a charm!! Except I put 2 batteries, Awesome video👍🏼

[@FixItYourself]

Nice work!

[@pheelix-]

I hope you put a BMS in it as well.

[@RSAW73]

So glad I found your video! I have the exact model and it's getting weak. Can't wait to upgrade it...will do the LED bulb too. Thanks!

[@FixItYourself]

Yea it's an easy upgrade and makes a big difference.

[@lexusgor3823]

Great video! How many mAh for this 18650 battery? Thanks!

[@ssersf7233]

Nice upgrade. Thank you for the video. But a proper 5VDC output charger should be used. My original charger is 27VDC output and is not suitable. It would burn the new Li Ion battery and probably the screwdriver too!

I have the black n decker versa pack. That slide in from the bottom. But the battery is shot. How could i upgrade instead of the regular batts

[@GODISGOOD3612]

That's cool. I just bought a new one for 19 bucks and the battery is 14 bucks..but I get it

[@midwestrebel655]

I just took mine apart, gift, from my daughter years ago, hate to part with it. . Was thing about replacing the battery, saw your video, thinking the new ones not to expensive. Just get a new one.

[@RamboRoberto2905]

Hello, do you have the video for the KC4815 model?

[@jeffandkathybrooks5052]

What brand battery is that and do they have 6 volt

[@bunbun8221]

By chance do you know how to remove a stuck drill bit?

[@FixItYourself]

I do but every job is different. Sometimes you have to force it and sometimes you have to cut the chuck off and replace it.

[@SalmanQutb-xx8cf]

hi, anyway you could guide on how to open the battery-side case on a black&decker pd400Lg pivot screwdriver ?

[@drgeeforce1129]

NiCd charging is set for 3.6v Lithium charging is 3.7v, using a NiCd charger is under charging the Li battery's voltage and you risk overcharging because you never achieve 3.7v

[@vickijd22]

I have held on to this exact same model trying to figure out how to bring it back to life. Do I really need a fire extinguisher nearby?

[@lucie7062]

I was able to connect the new 18650 Lithium battery, I heard a small buzz ( drill) sound when I tried to use it once to see if there was some juice in the new battery, some hope there, but then nothing right the same second... The battery is fully charged ( the battery it has it's own connection plug). Thin is on the minus large on the plus ... The contact on the on/off button seems to be in the right place, but no energy... any more tips ?

[@georgeplagianos6487]

🤔😳😳😳 I wish I had an answer. Maybe the batteries in reverse? Sometimes I find that inside some of these tools the color maybe in reverse like the red supposed to be positive and the black is negative.. he said one black and one red wire? if you can switch the poles in reverse see what happens.. connected for a Split Second and see if it's going to run

[@Chuckstereino]

When you say “charging block” are you referring to the Black & Decker charger? Thanks for the links as well.

[@FixItYourself]

Yes. Thank You and you're welcome.

[@luchura1]

Nice idea, I think he was on the right track until he decided not to use the lion charger circuit.

[@johnwhitaker545]

How exactly is this free?

[@slybunda]

if your not going to use a proper lithium charging board then at least use a protected 18650 battery.

[@dukenukem6137]

Umm isn't it a terrible idea to use the original power supply? Mine says 5.5VAC

[@FixItYourself]

Why would it say 5.5vac to charge a battery?

[@pheelix-]

@@FixItYourself Because the charger is for Ni-Cd not Li-Ion. And yes it is a bad idea to use the original power supply.
