How to convert your 110v(120v) DCB115 DeWalt Charger to 220v(240v)

[@AaronBishop-st2ow]

This charger kzbin.infoUgkxknS1MWclRHOKWekYXnBJz8Ex0rEPnrGF works great with the DCB205 and DCB203, I've charged both a few times without issue. After I'd searched for a while this was the best value charger I found and it's new, boxed up well, and it's built as well as any charger I've had.

[@naidol]

Works perfectly... Excellent instructions. Only difficult part was removing the T15 torx screws from case. They have security pin so normal torx T15 wrench will not work easily... You tube using flat head screw driver to remove torx screws with security pin... Simple thereafter. I used the legs snipped off the resistors after mounting on PCB to extend existing legs on capacitor as it's too short and thick with its standard snap-in connectors.

[@jacobdalton6611]

I just carefully drilled them out

[@lukillerz]

Hahaha I drilled them out as well. I also drilled the new capacitor holes for they were too narrow for the 400V one.

[@mathewforsyth1006]

I snapped out the pins with a small flat head screw driver, then used an alan key to remove the screws.

[@uncanalmas5824]

Hello, sorry but could you tell me if the charger lasted until today or how long it was?

[@skittleseer1]

The capacitor is used to filter out ripple voltage from a bridge rectifier (converts the incoming AC voltage to DC voltage), if anyone is curious. The reason why the capacitor needs to be rated for 400 volts or greater is because the DC voltage is way too high. Consider that your country uses AC voltage ranging from 220vac to 250vac. Remember, that is the RMS voltage. Multiply the RMS voltage by the square root of 2 (1.414). Once the AC voltage is rectified, your DC voltage will be 311-353.5 volts. Now, put that voltage through an electrolytic capacitor rated for 200 volts and...pop!

[@anthonyvolkman2338]

The grey line marks the negative side of the cap, resistors are not voltage polarity sensitive components. It doesn't matter which load of the resistor goes to the positive or negative due to them literally being a resistive wire.

[@Mirnesal]

How the output voltage remains the same when we increase the input voltage. Why does the output voltage not increase as the input voltage increases? E.g. for 110V the output is 20V and for 220V the output should be 40V.

He estudiado mucho estos cargadores, tengo de 110 v y 220v originales, de una y dos baterias, carga normal y rapida lo de las resistencias de loza esta bien, mi cargador rapido de 110v es igual al de 220v, lo unico que cambia es el condensador y es verdad que uno lleva unos puentes (110v) y el otro lleva resistencias de loza (las que tiene el mio son de 0.82 ohms 5 watts muchos preguntan que sucede con la frecuencia... bueno para el trabajo que hace un cargador no es problema 50 o 60 hertz, el problema se ocasiona en maquinas que poseen motores, pero este no es el caso Los cargadores dewalt vienen casi listos para usarlos con ambos voltajes, no los fabrican con un interruptor de cambio porque sube los costos de produccion en Tailandia (pais donde los fabrican en su mayoria) Incluso en el caso de Milwaukee es mas facil el cambio (solo se cambia un varistor y se corta una pista en una etapa )

[@dbaigorria]

Buenas tardes Felipe, te hago una consulta dada tu experiencia, yo conecté uno de estos cargadores sin advertir que era de 110v a una red de 220v, obviamente voló, pero al desarmarlo sólo veo un fusible en la entrada que al medirlo tiene continuidad, y el capacitor que reventó. La pregunta es, estaré a tiempo de hacer el cambio que se recomienda en el video?

[@AcarpF]

Felipe, buenos días.. entonces que recomiendas? porque yo tengo el cargador del video en 110 y lo necesito usar en 220. No soy técnico electronico, pero un amigo si.. y pensaba pedirle que realice lo que indica el video, en tu opinión esta bien o debería hacer otra cosa? Slds y mil gracias.

[@silviokorolik4352]

Hola Felipe. ¿Los capacitores de uno y de otro son de la misma capacidad y sólo cambia la tensión? Porque en este video no solo cambia por capacitor de mas tensión sino que tambien es de la mitad de capacidad.

[@felipe_ramirez]

@@dbaigorria hola, disculpa la demora, estaba en la cordillera por unos meses... Si tu cargador exploto por así decirlo, lo primero que se extropea son los condensadores, también hay una ntc que puede que halla volado y revisa el varistor de entrada... Algunos modelos de dewalt los tienen, el de carga lenta si lo tiene y el de carga rápida no lo lleva. Negro y amarillo respectivamente

@@AcarpF hola, perdona la tardanza, estaba muy lejos trabajando sin señales. Solo remplaza los condensadores, siempre manteniendo los mismos faradios y voltage si no me equivoco 450...recuerda que hay picos de voltaje, por eso el rango...

what will happen if charger 220v plug to 110v?

[@RiaanKeyser]

It won't switch on.

[@vovastaroverov6944]

Why change the capacitor. If resistors would make 110V.

[@dmklim]

Are you sure? Will two resistors for 1/3 Ohm each one drop 110V? Вова, с какого перепугу два резистора суммарным сопротивлением в две трети (0.33+0.33=0.66) Ома погасят 110 Воль? Даже по закону Ома для этого через них надо прогонять 165А, И это будет далеко не 5 Ватт рассеиваемой мощности. Скорее всего, они служат просто для ограничения тока зарядки при подключении ЗУ к сети. Диодный мост берегут.

Riaan does your charger still work and batteries are still ok? Looking in doing the exact same thing.

[@RiaanKeyser]

​@@jancoetzee6404​Still working 100%

[@oferhhh]

Hey Riaan, is the charger originally is a 'fast charger' ? how long it should take to charge a battery ? what is the affect before and after converting the charger in "charging time" ? last but not least, should the LED change to green when it done ? other indication ?

[@pranaymohanraogandra3415]

Hi Riaan, just subscribed, How can I convert a battery charger of Input 110 volts out put 24 volts 25Amps to 220-240 Volts Input, 24Volts output, 15Amps, charger is Copper coil type.

[@Peep18m]

Curious but what’s the purpose of converting it?

[@MyNameIsNotNick]

Most of the world uses 220v and if you buy stuff from US/Japan and you don't want to use chunky power adapters, you have to convert your or but locally

[@Peep18m]

Nikolay Chernuha got ya thanks for letting me know 👍🏼👍🏼

[@wterata2105]

resistors doesnt have a polarity

[@rafabenitez5828]

Hy sir y have the same charger 220 its not charge not led its ded YOU now its have a fuse And were it iz

[@RiaanKeyser]

No, it does not have a fuse. The capacitor usually blows when overloaded.

[@marcoturra5086]

Hi thank you for the guide my charger stop his charging when my 2 5ah batteries have 2 light on and not 3 and sometimes before

[@RiaanKeyser]

Might be a faulty battery.

[@גבריאלסיון]

My charger did not have a circle around the shortcuts that were replaced with resistors. Does polarity matter (as far as I know - no). Anyway I connected everything properly and the charging light is not on. Can anyone help with that.

[@hunterpati]

please make a clear schematic, I still don't understand

[@RiaanKeyser]

Replace the Capacitor with a new one, and replace jumpers with Resistors. Done.

[@hunterpati]

Can you make a full detailed video, please

[@kiyo191]

thank you. it's work!

[@RiaanKeyser]

Yippy ;-)

[@BoraGurses]

Can ı do it on any dewalt charger like flexvolt?

[@RiaanKeyser]

Not to clued up with the Flexvolt. Sorry.

[@gabi6580]

Hello, why didn't you put a 400v220uf? Why 400v100?

[@avitanmishel]

בגלל החום? מישהוא אמר שהוא שם uf220 עובד לו טוב ומהר. אני לא מבין בזה בכלל אבל מהתגובות הבנתי. אולי לא הבנתי נכון

[@oferhhh]

@@avitanmishel ועדיין עובד לך ?

[@RiaanKeyser]

400v100uf wasn't available. 400v220uf would work perfectly.

[@moshekosti4386]

אצלי ממש התחמם החלק האחורי והמיס את הפלסטיק, יש לכם מושג למה?

[@גבריאלסיון]

במטען שלי לא היה עיגול סביב המקצרים שהוחלפו בנגדים. האם יש משמעות לקוטביות (ככל שידוע לי - לא). בכל אופן חיברתי הכל כמו שצריך ונורית הטעינה לא דולקת. מישהו יכול לעזור בעניין.

[@alexgear2002]

Can I use 5w 0.22 or 0.5 instead of the 0.33?

[@이선구-u7p]

good .

[@אליאורעמנואל]

hi in the dcb112 where to put the Resistors?

[@RiaanKeyser]

Sorry, would need to see the charger.
