If you are going to solder wire to a nickel strip piece, I’ve found it’s best for me to do so before I spot weld it to the battery, that way I’m not having to heat battery at all along with the strip.

Aggh! Its such a pain to get the cells out of these holders! They now use lots of glue to hold them in. I had to take a pack apart recently as It took a bath and wanted to prevent them from rusting. Had to cut the case to get them out. Thankfully managed to save the pack.

Is the PCB the same between the 1.4ah and 3.0ah batteries? Nothing limits the new batteries from the higher discharge rate?
@Cardfold113 жыл бұрын
Something is regulating the battery discharge current. Might be the pcb, might be the motor driver/ speed controller within the tool. Having a higher current capable battery is simply going to help with heat and voltage sag

For a short run that will be fine. Resistance is calculated by the length and the gauge. If it's only say 6 inches long it can carry more current than normal.

like that i give some distance between them about 0.4mm, the factory insulation didn't give you any serious protection, they are melting at low temperatures and easily can cutted by single hit, and results shorting the batteries.. kapton tape can give more serious protection, can hold at high temperatures and they have more strength..

This is a modification failure, only 10.6V after replacing the batteries, but the tool gauge shows only two bar full and charger refuses to charge it up. The circuit broad has protection to prevent you use higher ampere batteries. Let's buy the knock off batteries rather than put high quality lithium batteries into the old shell. Not worthy at all.
@Jirk43 жыл бұрын
What are you talking about? 1) 10.6V is right in between charged (≈12.6 V) and discharged (≈9 V), so 2/4 bars are right for ≈45% charge. edit: In the video it actually showed 10.91V (at 14:55), which would equal more to a ≈50% charge, for which 2/4 bars are still correct. 2) He only put the battery into the original charger to show it is charging (I don't know where you see the charger is refusing to charge it; both red and green LED would have to be blinking), and then into the tool to show the battery works. I've repaired 2 Ah M12 battery myself and there are no issues with using higher mAh spec 18650s than the original, and when the original has dead cells, why the hell would I be buying aftermarket knockoff to do a rebuild?
@johnrhodes33503 жыл бұрын
When he soldered the replacement batteries, they were only half charged. That is how they are shipped for long-term storage. If you store them fully charged, then the chemistry degrades and shortens overall lifespan at a faster rate Also he used very good quality replacement cells Sony VTC6 High capacity and high continuous discharge current The continuous red light shows it is charging ok Green is Finished charging Flashing Red is Error 10.6 Volts is the nominal median voltage that the cells are stored or shipped at. 3 x 4.2V = 12.6V = Full

Hi so I did a rebuild on one of Milwaukees M18 12.0HD batteries because it up and quit working and wasnt even that old. It was just dead and when I went to recharged it it was flashing green and red on the charger. So I ordered 15 new samsung battery cells, same as the ones that where in their, then went to town spot welding new tabs on and putting everything back together. Now a couple connections came off of the cercuit board so I soldered them back on. Once everything was put back together I pressed the battery guage button and nothing lit up. I put it on the charger and the green light lit up and said it was fully charged. Now heres the thing I dont get, I plugged it into a tool and it lights up all the indicators but wont run the tool. I tested everything with a volt meter and the cells are each saying 3.441 consistently, and the battery pack itself is reading 17.22 volts. Im stumped. Can you please help me?
