Had a Ryobi 18v battery that died and wouldn't charge so I marked it bad and had planned on throwing it away. Before I got around to throwing it away a much newer battery did the same thing. I was thinking I would have to buy a couple of new batteries. I decided to do a search to see if anyone else had the same issue and I came across this video. Being a retired mechanic, I had everything necessary to try this process and it worked great. Took the batteries apart as shown in the video and used a small 12v charger touching the leads to the batter for only 1 minute. Both batteries are now charging great. Thank you for your video!

this is better than most videos on this platform, but the key problem is that you should have a professional charger like the imax b6ac v2 and attempt to charge each individual cell that makes up the pack to its normal voltage. another thing to keep in mind is that although it might charge to full it could have bad cells which could be contributing to poor life. these individual cells would need to be replaced with ones of the same specs in order to prevent damage. as I said in the beginning this is a much better video than most and should work for many people. I would urge caution to inexperienced people who think that applying voltage is going to solve their problems. I have seen many things that are a safety hazard and many videos don't take safety as a priority. just to let you non electronics savvy people know that it's not so much the voltage that can kill you, but it is the amperage that will do it. most current above 100ma could be lethal! take extreme caution. if you don't feel comfortable, leave it to a professional.

it's because the bms has no way to determine if the pack just has a dead cell or if one is actually shot, and when they become overly discharged and the individual cells aren't balanced there's always a risk of overheating and fire, that's the real reason why it happens. just take care of you're batteries, keep them out of temperature extremes and keep them charged up but don't over charge them. most people just use their drill once in a while and don't keep their packs charged. hot and cold don't help either.

Lithium batteries (depending on the actual chemistry) do not like to be totally discharged. To maximize battery life, don't let them discharge to zero. The battery packs have safety circuits that shuts the battery down when the battery discharges to a certain point, but the circuit needs a little power, and battery self-discharge keeps happening in the battery. A total discharged Lithium, similar to lead acid, battery will be permanently damaged. This fix by-passes the charge control and battery monitoring circuits and puts enough power back into the battery to power those circuits to enable charging. Good information, but be very careful to watch the battery pack during this process, because it can start a battery fire (don't leave battery pack connected if you leave the room.) Lithium chemistry is much more finicky to charging, and all those electronics in the battery pack and charger are doing a job. Bottom line is to keep Lithium battery packs charged 70-100% while in storage, and throw them on a charger every couple of months to keep them healthy.

I have seen this technique using 24VDC charger and yours using 12VDC charger. Both seem to work. Knowing little about LiOn batteries except all sorts of warnings about using only designated chargers can you explain why either 12 or 24 volt power supplies work without a problem for "shocking" this battery pack back to around 12 volts where it can make the Ryobi charger start charging again?

We are simply using the 12vdc to bring cells that have discharged back up to a threshold voltage that the chip on top can sense to then take over and charge battery! Cheers

Buy B6 Imax universal charger to safely charge any lithium (and other types) battery without damaging it.

do you have to open the battery housing to charge it? can't you just charge the battery from the top with the negative and positive side post.

I don’t think so, but you can try! Thanks for watching! Cheers
