[@wilbertbirdner1303]

The only thing i can think of is that it has a specific brand name in the title and video and it's been flagged as paid promotion. you may be able to apeal it

[@uilsonRJ]

I guess it may also be the "dead" word in the title, try changing it to "faulty"

[@LauwersFreddy]

Must agree with uilsonRJ on this. I think KZbin AI is freaking out on the words ‘Revive’ and ‘Dead’. It must think you are talking about ‘Controversial issues and sensitive events’. You probably have to apeal and ask for a human to review, but yes until then you won’t have monitization on this video. Maybe you have to start releasing video’s marked ‘private’ and change them to ‘public’ once you see KZbin has no problem with the title or content? Thank you for the video anyway ;-)

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi Freddy Lauwers Thank You very much! I think they will clear it,, I want to see how long that takes. I schedule all my videos and I did see that it was flagged like 4 hours before it was supposed to go online. But I did not have anything else to post for you all to day. And I wanted to see how this works,,, if it works. :-/ Thank you for watching! :-)

[@LauwersFreddy]

My PlayHouse Hi Morten, keep us posted, would be interested how this works out. Maybe do a video on this topic? Thanks.

[@jrbatek9427]

This worked! Thank you! $20 trickle charger and $10 for a set of hex lock heads saved me $100 on two batteries!

[@MyPlayHouse]

Glad it helped you, and prolonged the life of your batteries.

[@pauldavies7]

Before you do any of this try warming up your battery with a hairdryer and then try to recharge it. I had exactly the same problem with a RB18L25 (2.5Ah) Ryobi battery, it had been 'dead' for months. I read a comment on another video about the hairdryer trick, tried it just now and bingo battery took a charge and is now working again. Definitely worth trying before taking your battery apart.

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi Paul Davies Thank You very much! good suggestion, I will keep that in mind. Thank you for watching! :-)

[@andymarshman9546]

Thank you for this great idea. I had a small, high capacity 12 Vdc battery available to me, so I 'boosted' each cell a couple of times. It took 2 tries but on the 2nd attempt, there was enough terminal voltage to permit the charger to take over and once again charge up the 18 volt battery. It's a great feeling to see that green light start flashing again!

[@MyPlayHouse]

It's great to have the battery working again,, they are plenty expensive. :-)

[@jo9732]

How long did they last after this boosting? I expect the cells will not be as good any more but maybe they can be salvaged for a few more usage.

[@CorbettFrench]

Thank you so much for this video! Since I didn't have a power supply like you, I used a known good ryobi battery to put a charge on the bad cells. About 10 seconds contact from the good battery to each bad cell. Not as gentle as your method, but it did the trick.

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi Corbett French Thank You very much! Yes that is not recommended,,, they should not be charged with more then 4.2volt,,, they can do bad things :-/ but good that is worked. Thank you for watching! :-)

Hi David Perez Thank You very much! That is cool!! I am glad I could help! Thank you for watching! :-)

[@karlkempf5021]

How long did this fix work? My understanding of lithium batteries is that this is more of a temporary fix because once they drop below a certain voltage they won't properly hold a charge again.

[@davidperez5489]

@@karlkempf5021 i am still using that battery pack. I think the problem is if you leave it in a discharged state for too long then perhaps this wont work. The pack i revived was already 2 years old when this happened and it is still going. But hey, sometimes packs just go dead and theres nothing u can do. Good luck

[@karlkempf5021]

[@macfady2181]

If you are going to use a drill, you don't need to open the battery, you can just drill a small hole in the "m" (+) and the "R" (-). Insert a wire in each hole and touch it to a good battery for about 30s and your defective battery will have enough charge for the charger to recognize it at the terminals again.

[@MyPlayHouse]

That sounds cool!

[@averiltate4455]

I have managed to get the green light flashing until it becomes solid but it still won't work my tools. Is the battery beyond saving?

[@MyPlayHouse]

That is weird,,, I just happen to have made a new ryobi battery fixing video that goes online later today,, maybe there is something in that one that can help you.

[@averiltate4455]

Thanks for the video but my battery was flashing that it was charging and then went solid green which indicated that it was full but it still did not work my appliances. However, I have now bought a replacement battery and this works ok. I will try to use it more often so that it doesn't have the opportunity to die.

[@TransRightsMatter]

Ryobi should have set a proper, soft low voltage cutoff point, for these batteries, so they could never enter the hard cutoff point, in the first place. I know this works form my own trouble shooting experience. The self protect feature of the charge circuit, disables the charge circuit, if goes below a certain hard voltage point. The idea is that a 18650 Lithium Battery cells can develop internal shorts if drained too low. Shorts in the battery can cause it to malfunction or even explode. I manually recharged the cells above the safety threshold to to re enable the charger circuit. This should be done at your own risk, but I have not herd of any issues.

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi Alicia Florizone Thank You very much! glad you liked the video :-) Thank you for watching! :-)

[@DH-jt1bw]

is it ok to use a 12v normal auto battery charger like on trickle or maintain charge?

[@MyPlayHouse]

I think that might work just fine,, but just get the voltages up,,and let the Ryobi charger take over as soon as it can 2-5 min... I would think.

[@ytaps]

Can I just trickle charge from the external contacts?

[@MyPlayHouse]

Maybe,, but I have not tried that.

Great Video! I have the same issue with a battery pack that was 'Reconditioned' so I thought it was this, but I read that leaving them in the charger for a long time will also do it. As I don't have a power supply like this, but the cells must be 3.6v (18/5=3.6) could I use a 1 or 2 standard AA type batteries in a holder to give me 1.5-3v to just drop a little charge into them?

Hi sfuchs Yes the voltages on the cells was too low for the elektronic to do the job,, by jumping the voltages manually up,, I could again use it. And it is still good, used it yesterday :-) Thank you for watching! :-)

Hey there buddy! Thanks for your video! I have watched many videos considering this subject, and I have been reviving battery after battery! I think I have recovered over 20 batteries! My source is a local hardware store. People bring in their batteries to be recycled, i ask for them, bring them home, I fix them like this, (some require different repairs.) Just a side note! This does NOT only happen to ryobi. I have recovered makita, bosch, ryobi, dewalt and more! Play faves all ya want, it can still happen to ya! Also! Curious! Its been a while. This battery you recovered, does it still work? And do you use it a lot? Any issues to speak of? Thanks again!

@@WryGrass100 He bypassed the low voltage limiter(which prevents the charger from charging if the voltage is too low) in the battery board and charged each cell a little bit individually so they would be over the limit, letting the charger charge the battery the rest of the way.

[@Seegalgalguntijak]

This works for many lithium batteries, but on some, you also have to reset the electronics module for it to come out of its "broken battery" failure mode. I know it's like that with iPhone batteries. You reset it by very shortly shorting out the battery so the electronics will lose all power for a split second. You have to be really careful and short it out only for less than half a second or basically as little as possible in order to not damage the battery.

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi Seegal Galguntijak Thank You very much! Thank you for watching! :-)

[@WilliamJoseph2015]

I think that's my problem. The board needs to be shorted. How could I safety do this to reset

[@Seegalgalguntijak]

William Joseph just short out the battery for a split second. Really, something like 0.5s or less is enough, but it won't hurt the battery. If it's deeply discharged, it won't do anything - although then, resetting the electronics doesn't make sense yet either, and if it's full, the short time period will prevent the current from ramping up too much to destroy it.

[@WilliamJoseph2015]

Seegal Galguntijak Sounds like a plan...how do I short it out? Method you suggest to short out the board

[@Seegalgalguntijak]

Really? Take a wire, hold it to both contacts of the battery, and it's shorted out. Only for a very short (no pun intended) period of time though, as I said

[@juanbolivar35]

the same happened to me last week, it was a lot easier doing the "opening hole" method

I revive my dead 18650's by trickle charging @ 0.25 - 0.50 amp using the ever popular 4 button charger,

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi psygn0sis Thank You very much! Thank you for watching! :-)

[@KnurdMonkey]

18650 batteries are to be considered discharged @2.5V. If you let them under 2.5V it starts to correde the lothium inside there. Most of the digital Lithium chargers have the "rest" charge voltage up to 4.35V (as my Nitecore charger). For drill unit like yours you can prefer 18650 modules hi MAh values and lower discharge maximum current, given that they are in series. It's og to go with 10A with a maximum output of 180W avaiable with the pachage. Laptops for example uses modules with 4A discharge but much higher capacity. E-vape cigarettes on the counterpart prefer very high maximum discharge currents, up to 35A (like my LG modules).
