5INR19/66-2 (on the case) and INR19/66 (on the individual cell) is a standard naming scheme. INR is the cell chemistry and indicates the use of Nickel, Manganese and Cobalt, as it is common for power tools cells. 19/66 means 18650 (18/65 is also commonly found), but sleeved. To account for the size of the sleeve, 19/66 is widely used to indicate that the cells are ever so slightly larger than naked 18650 cells. It's a compliance thing. And on a similar note, it's legal now for power tools to state the "maximum battery voltage", which is a very soft definition., hence the 20V/4Ah/80Wh on the case. This whole 18V vs. 20V naming business (same as 10,8V vs. 12V) came after this change was implemented in North America and the power tool companies lobbied for a consistent global naming scheme through their industry body, the European Power Tool Association. Until then it was the default, as it still is everywhere else apart from power tools, to use the nominal voltage as the defining value for your product. The funny thing is, while basically all of them agreed that this is a good thing for the 10,8V tools, they couldn't agree whether it's also a good idea for the 18V tools, so some did and some didn't change it to 20V.

Thanks for the heads up Julian. I needed 6*18650 cells to repair my crap Vax stick hoover, apparently non removable batteries that fail after 14 months are a consumable so not covered by warranty. Found the unbalance 4ah battery for half price in the Aylesbury branch so got one and harvested the 10 batteries. Vac fixed and 4 spare cells for my torch. Felt bad throwing away all the rest of the components but worked out a lot cheaper than buying the cells

One interesting note is that the blade beside negative is normally a thermistor with a resistance to negative of 10.6KOhm. Knowing this has allowed me to bodge Makita batteries onto Parkside tools. WHen you open the tool, there is a control board with Bat+, Bat- and a terminal called "DS". Wire a 10.6Kohm resistor (easier to use a 10K in series w 620 ohm) between DS and Bat-, and then the tool will run off just the 18v +/- from the Makita Battery. Easy Peasy, and I now have an 18v pole saw running off makita batteries (my standard) for $40USD.

I believe BigClive has established that one of the terminals is connected to the thermistor on the batteries to tell the tool the battery temperature, and when the pack voltage drops too low it open-circuits it, looking like overheat, and it's up to the tool to stop taking current - hence the MOSFET in the tool.

Brilliantly useful teardown! Because the Parkside batteries are staggeringly good value compared with others, I am gradually converting every 20V thing I have to use them via custom adapters, or in some cases putting the Parkside innards into other brands' battery housings. Of course that latter presents some challenges/risks in safe and efficient charging, so the more we know about the designs the better. (So far I've been winging it, monitoring charge voltage and current a bit, not leaving any cross-species pairs unattended and seem to be getting away with it!)

@DrTune2 жыл бұрын
FYI the balancing is usually done by just having an overvoltage detect and shunt transistor across each cell. If a cell exceeds (4.2v or whatever) any extra voltage just turns into heat in the shunt transistor. This allows the charger to keep charging the stack of cells until they are all at 4.2v. This is kinda inefficient, and relies on the transistors being able to dissipate the heat (so you can't charge super fast), but it's the cheapest way to do it.
@dedr4m2 жыл бұрын
I got 3x4 pack of these 20V packs stitched together.... This cell balancing board hopefullymake this pack a bit more safe to use (cell balance wise). Also, the cut-off is done via an external MOSFET in the tool on the 20V packs. Essentially the two middle pins are for (C)harge and (T)ool respectively. I've not played with using external FETs, though that'd be something to consider for my power-bank (Tho the FET would probably become the fuse, even a 50A FET with a 15A fuse would likely go first.

If the RDSon is 5mOhms for example, then no use in wasting more power in a shunt.

Hi I want to ask you if I can, I have 2battery model B1 and B3 a 2Ah battery and the control green LED turns off at 19Volts and only yellow and red remain, whereas on the 4 Ah the green turns off when the voltage reaches 17.3V, that is, on one the green turns off when the 3.9 V cell instead on the 4 Ah it turns off when the cell are 3.4 V . The only red LED lights up on the 2Ah battery at 17.3 volts, whereas on the 4Ah battery the red LED lights up at 16.5 volts, i.e. at a lower voltage. Why i have on green and red Led diverent voltage on 2Ah and 4Ah same battery model B1. I mean on 2Ah battery red is on when the cell are 3.54 volts instead on 4Ah red is on when the cell are 3.3 volts. Is could bee a defect bms or is it the different management of the BMS? Thank you

I find these Lidl teardown vids very entertaining and interesting. Does Lidl compare more to our US Harbor Freight? Are they "cheap tools" that are good enough to do the job but are easily replaced when they break? Or is Lidl more like a Home Depot/Lowe's hardware store with supplies and wood then Parkside is the store brand? I know I commented to you a little bit about your home improvement shopping options back on ~S01E04 of the modular shed build. I just find it fascinating about the mundane experiences in a foreign land when you don't think about all the touristy stuff and think about how do the people live day to day and fix up their homes. I enjoy walking up and down every aisle at any store and discovering new things. Keep up this series! (side note, while watching I had the idea of taking one of cheapest chargers, removing all the charging internals, and using its housing as a battery interface for creating your own battery operated gadget, like an Lidl battery option for your vocoder)

One of the most important features for battery management is a low voltage cut off. These lidl batteries are missing LVC and this is probably managed by the LIDL branded tools. Action batteries do offer LVC protection making them more suited to homebrew or adaptive use accross old tools.

The Post Apocalyptic Inventor made a couple of videos about converting old NiCd battery tools to Lithium, and he managed to find a cheap battery connector base that terminated in a couple of wires, which he mostly just attached to the tools and pretty much job done. It was for a well-known brand though, so I have no idea if you could find something similar for these batteries. It's possible you could find one that would fit after some minor modifications, but you'd have to compare the connectors pretty closely to find one that matches.

How does the bms signal individual cell voltage out of spec? What are the threshold voltages? Thanks! Edit: current plan is to add a 5S bms board and fuseholder+fuse inside the casing (i know it already has the fuse on pcb but that is way too beefy), would seem to fit. Also to use the battery with an external additional low voltage disconnect module. If i could use the original electronics, could skip the extra bms and only use pack low disconnect. The cells seem very well balanced initially but have not tested voltages under load. Balancing function is a bit questionable for me, would like to know more details on that. Also almost no selfdischarge so i assume bms is off or deep sleep when not in use.

I made 2 short connection leads with spade terminals at the battery side, 3x0.75cm2 wire per lead,going to copper strips which inserted around the power tool blades. Unfortunately I shorted them for 1s or so when removing them from the tool, There is no power at the terminals. The battery led check does not cause any lights to come on. Opening the battery: The fuse is broken having looked at kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2evioGXaJKhb5I where he solders the fuse back (seems dodgy) The cell voltages are maintained. You mentioned the fuse between the ground pin with the circle on it - looks te same I figure that the fuse would have gone but does not look different. Does the ?brown liquid/???resin on the PCB means the PCB is toast despite the fuse? The cells are cool I have put the battery in a stainless steel pain with a lid on, in case of issues.

Dewalt and milwaukee also don't bother to put in mosfet in their battery. Maybe to deliver maximum current without voltage drop. I think that's some what american thing lol. Almost all of american tool review video have some kind of "V8 muscle car drag racing" vive. Makita has mosfet in the battery btw. Ryoby has to have it in the battery for old ryoby tool compatibility. Bosch is most fucked up because balancing aside, they don't even check individual cell voltage in low capacity battery.
