How not to fix A Wet 💦Ryobi 18V battery 🔋 Will drying it out make it work🤷🏼🤷🏼

[@MasteringMayhem]

At least you tried to fix it. Nothing wrong with making a solid attempt. 🙂✌️❤️

[@Impact-OG]

It worked yesterday, then today when I turned on the camera to record boom nothing. Thanks for watching man

[@MasteringMayhem]

@@Impact-OG No problem. I tuned into your videos as often as I can. Just so you know, I do a LIVE power tool GIVEAWAY every Saturday night @ 9pm CST if you wanted a chance to win some tools 🙂. Either way, I hope you and yours are well. 🙂✌️❤️

[@nabeelw2]

I left my leaf blower and power drill on my covered back patio which keeps them from getting wet but we had a heavy rain storm and high winds and both wouldn't charge. I was able to fix them after watching this video using a hair dryer, rubbing alcohol, and Qtips. The sooner you take them apart and clean the better your chances. Thanks!

[@jamesegsmith]

Do they still work? I did the same thing

[@nabeelw2]

@@jamesegsmith yes, both are still working and use them regularly.

[@glencorder6882]

My new 40v brushless whisper got lightly rained on… don’t work?? Help ;)

[@grandmaraps]

Thanks for showing me how to get the plug out. I'm just going to open mine and let it sit in front of the fan for a week. My son left it out in the rain.

[@Impact-OG]

Yeah that should be fine my son had dont that a couple times 😂😂😂

[@KatlynAKATwin]

Didn’t work by just letting it dry out ?

[@jonathandowie3008]

Thanks for the disassembly info...

[@SailingwithMaury]

What would you think of just drilling a few drain and vent holes into the exterior of the battery to help it dry out without opening it up

[@jamesegsmith]

Maybe even blow some air through it. You'd have to be extremely careful though

[@jasonlipscholts5525]

I love to take stuff apart like that. Great video man

[@Impact-OG]

Thanks man

[@WilliamLavergne-i8y]

Hey, for next time... you should include 91% alcohol as part of the inital clean up. Its so safe for the board (with a swab that doesn't leave fur) it works as a degreaser and evaporates extremely quickly, taking a small amout of moisture with it

[@goodjoe4123]

Great video

[@condog209]

My t 10 on my driver bit set can't get the screws out as there's a piece in the that stops it from fitting in correctly

[@ordinaryaussieguy]

you need a T10 with a hole

[@aromaticpillow]

You definitely learned the hard way regarding the screw driver and battery packs. I've done it too. These packs are tricky to rescue sometimes because you cannot easily remove power while working on it. As someone pointed out, douse it with 99% alcohol and brush with a tooth brush to get the coolant film off. Alcohol carries the water away, is non-conductive and evaporates very fast. Any water left will cause corrosion very fast due to galvanic reactions of the powered up board. If you have any friends that Vape, those cells pack a big punch, but they do not have protection circuits built in to prevent over charge/discharge.

[@jaylin3321]

Think this would work for pain old water damage and not coolant?

[@bwselectronic]

Cellphones you can put them in a bag of rice for a few days to draw out the moisture.

[@Impact-OG]

Yeah for sure, but the coolant is a little different its kind of sticky Thanks for watching man

[@bwselectronic]

@@Impact-OG sitting for a few days sure didn't help either

[@DowieFarm]

Does the rice thing actually work or is it just a myth? Have you tried it? I've heard it was B.S. but I haven't tried it yet...

[@bwselectronic]

@@DowieFarm I've done it a couple times. It still worked afterwards, so it's at least worth a try.

[@tinybrickoven]

@@DowieFarm rice mositure extraction is BS, there are closet dehumidifier crystals that can actually pull water out of the air.

[@DowieFarm]

Thanks for the disassembly info, and kudos to posting your mistakes. I went looking for videos by the critics on here and shhhhhhhhhhocker....... none of them had any.

[@Impact-OG]

yep everyone is an expert, who knew everything from the start and didn't need to learn anything at all, but when you go to there page they don't have any content shocking !!!!!! Thanks for watching man

[@Flux_Flow]

Electrical contact cleaner spray would have helped remove the sticky.

[@mikenorberg9227]

That new on is way differnet then the old ones, Did you see they just released a 7 1/4 cordless miter saw??

[@Apache-Helicopter-Life]

Where do you get your bits from?

[@Impact-OG]

Amazon, it was a pack of 20 specialty bits for around 19.99

[@FreeThinkingperson]

The video on the tear-down is good, but screwdrivers to corroded circuit boards don't really work. Next time, just use a sledgehammer. LOL, or try a plastic cell phone opening tool or just some q tips with isoproply . Really should have removed the batteries and cleaned the board with isopropyl alcohol 99 percent to start with, and if that doesn't clean, I would use a WD-40 Specialist Electrical Contact Cleaner Spray and the isopropyl to remove WD. Then, use an Amazon spot welder and nickel to replace the stips. But now it's time to get the meter out and start looking for blow crap.

[@rcari0687]

Dude, I was as simple as a toothbrush and isopropyl alcohol, clean everything out, let it dry and put it back on the charger to reactivate the board from safety mode, and/or use CRC electrical cleaner spray, dude it's common sense never use metal against electrical stuff

[@Impact-OG]

Yeah it was working just fine, then I turned on the camera and nothing, then I fried it with the metal screwdriver

[@DowieFarm]

Everyone should check our Ruben's expert video on this topic.... Oh, wait, Ruben has no videos.

[@rcari0687]

@@DowieFarm yeah I have no videos, you're very observant my friend, that could be the reason I'm only commenting for now👍

[@psalm2forliberty577]

A valiant effort nonetheless my friend ! Thx for showing disassembly steps. Mine was the larger battery & blower left out in rain lol. Got it in bowl of rice now but it will be better to take apart full to dry 100%. Now charger just blinks both Red fail & Green charge lite simultaneously. Like said, Ill do CRC Electrical Contact Spray + canned air to dry & wrap carefully in dry towel. Should revive it. On yours, Id actually call CRC company ask if their spray should disperse Coolant (which is a form of oil) residue if sprayed heavily. Or consider using a kitchen sink sprayer to wash away coolant, then dry as discussed. We live & learn....youll be wiser 2nd time around. I ask Gods Blessing on all my repairs - HE, God, is the CREATOR & SUSTAINER of ALL things, which includes the stuff we design, use & break lol. So for me thats: - Afoesaid Ryobi battery - Leaky toilet - Mercedes Harmonic Balancer ....I gotta run Thanks again, FixIt Dave in East Texas

[@peterc6964]

It seems . The problem is these battery packs circuit is always powered up. It is NEVER completely turned off. That means as soon as liquid gets in , some of the electricity in battery goes where it should not and battery electronics is kaput .....

[@jasonsadliberty1503]

good luck porter cable ...forget it lithium 20volt ive lost in 2 in one godd@mn week.. so pissed I can barely type!!!!!

[@AllenReinecke]

Cringing when you were running the screwdriver over the PCB!

[@Impact-OG]

Yeah I wasn't thinking and look what happened boom short circlet hahahaha thanks for watching

[@Zonniezonnie_Minecraft]

lol 5 days later guys. Let it dry out Wrapped it in paper towel... Oh it's not working wtf it worked yesterday, I swear to god it worked yesterday. Acting like it's been on its own for 5 days 🧐

[@sac1776thePatriot]

And he uses a Dewalt to fix. Ryobi battery 😂

[@peterryan7340]

You could've just stopped at 4:45 and placed it in a zip lock bag full of uncooked rice. Then 2 days later, all good again.

[@Impact-OG]

Did you not watch it, I explained what I did and what happened.

[@peterryan7340]

@@Impact-OG yeah unfortunately I did see how you wrecked it. Oh well as long as you keep breaking stuff I will keep watching.

[@whateverzvill]

Good job sounding like a smug POS even though you have no clue what you're talking about. Rice in a Zip lock bag doesn't even work.

[@throbbitnightless2836]

Wow...... No... No to 100 things you did...... Wow

[@michaeljohnaudettejr3492]

Been nice if you ain't have to swear to God, ya know, and the gd word totally earned you a thumbs down. I love my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ 🙌

[@Impact-OG]

Sorry about that, I normally try to not say anything bad in my videos. I don't know why I did in this one.
