USB & Li-ion Upgrading dead Black & Decker Screwdriver - 892

[@mattiaslindgren4865]

Nice project!! Did this to my Black & Decker Screwdriver - 892, works great! Thank you for the tip!

[@MyPlayHouse]

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

[@mibict]

I have same screwdriver and will definitely use your experience to make same upgrade! Thanks.

[@MyPlayHouse]

Best of luck with the upgrade :-)

[@fountainpencollection]

I have 2 newer versions of Black & Decker electric screwdrivers, that are already on LI Ion and a Bosch ixo 4 electric screwdriver an older version, one of the first versions with LI Ion power supply, and they are super ok for activities that require low speed and torque .

[@MyPlayHouse]

Thisfirst one was to cool to just throw out,, so I ninja hacked it,, I do not use it much,, but now it holds power from use to use...

[@fountainpencollection]

@@MyPlayHouse Well, I also don't use mine often either, in fact, I use them quite rarely, from time to time when I have something to do that requires their special talent :), otherwise, I use various drills drivers but depends on the situation.

[@MVVblog]

21:10 i made the same mistake some time ago anyway this mod is brilliant :-)

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi MVVblog Thank You very much! I am honest enough to admit when I have been a stupid F** ,, and it is usually rather entertaining. Thank you for watching! :-)

[@shahram.y]

Very nice. You need over-discharge protection circuit too.

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi Shahram Yousefi Thank You very much! That will be when the Screwdriver becomes to weak. Thank you for watching! :-)

[@mksimo70]

@@MyPlayHouse No, it will not become weak, but it is necessary from the battery protection circuit, because without it the battery will die and perhaps from the first use

[@emduplessis9996]

Love the video. You are very entertaining! Good job on the conversion.

[@tamias82]

Haha :) Once I made the same kind of mistake with hot glue in the USB conector. Charging board you used has no battery protection circuit. I will not prevent under charging or overloading for example. The other one you have got has this feature, hence extra chip and connectors on the USB type C one. Plus and Minus connectors beside USB socket can be used instead of USB, so you didn't really need to dremel out that hole. You could just drill a little hole to see your favourite blue LED. It was fun to watch, thanks :)

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi Mickey Rourke Thank You very much! I did not want to restrict the power,, and I will charge it, when it feels week. Thank you for watching! :-)

[@stepcorngrumbleteats7683]

Those Nickel batteries are wired in, and sometimes can be upgraded to Lithium, but I just put a small wire-leg resistor/cap/diode unit on it, and the SAME BATTERY lets it keep the charge…

[@MyPlayHouse]

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

[@philipkaiser5663]

Nice project. One should be double the endurance of a bosch ixo since it has two batteries.

[@steliostheofanou1368]

very nice project, if you used bms 1s wats the diferent with the charging module

[@MyPlayHouse]

It just helps with the charging,, so USB can be used. Thank You!

[@林園-l8p]

it's two 18650 batteries connected in parallel? After the modification, can I still use the original charger to charge it directly? Is it safe to do so?

[@MyPlayHouse]

Yes in parallel.

[@林園-l8p]

@@MyPlayHouse Awesome! Can I use the original charger to charge the 18650 battery? If not, could you show me how? I'm not really savvy with electronics.

[@ScottDowneywoundedbear]

You could have soldered the dc plug to the circuit board input instead of using the usb. You could still solder the dc plug to the board and have to two ways to charge it.

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi Scott Downey Thank You very much! Yes I mentioned that at the end,, just making an external USB to Li-ion charger :-) Thank you for watching! :-)

[@nickldominator]

@@MyPlayHouse I think Scott meant that you would wire the DC in jack to the Input +/- of the module (that's what those solder pads you didn't understand were for). The TP4056 linear charging IC used on those modules can tolerate up to 8V input, so wiring to the DC jack with the module likely would have let you use the original charger for the power tool, as it would have cut-off current at 4.2v for you regardless of DC input used (up to ~8V)

[@dindin4072]

@@nickldominator The original charger has AC output and then there is a diode inside the wiring.

[@HexBinEdit]

I have the LI2000 model with a dead battery. It has a single cell in it, and I'm not sure if there's anything different about it such that it would warrant a different kind of replacement.After taking it, there's no labeling on the paper around the cell to identify it. Thoughts?

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi Paul Sieberth I would check the cell first,, if it is under charged,, it might stop working and the elektronikk might prevent it from working as long as it is under charged. Put a slow charge on the cell 100mA 4volt and see.. glad you liked the video :-) Thank you for watching! :-)

[@abrortairov9122]

Hi, I did the same and have same model Black and Decker but it didn't work. I lost 3 modules already. I have no idea what is the cause of the damage. I connected all wires by given instructions. Small chip heated up and stopped working and no blue light turned on again.

[@MyPlayHouse]

This is a simple fix,, I am sure you will figure it out.

[@henrydelacruz1284]

El modulo es solo para una bateria 18650, cuando conectas 02 en paralelo el modulo se recalienta, busca un modulo para 02 18650

[@RamboRoberto2905]

Hello, in case you have the Black&Decker Screwdriver model KC4815, could you please provide the connections of the internal cables? Thanks a lot in advance.

[@MyPlayHouse]

I only have the ones I showed :-/ sorry

[@I3ordo]

could not we just wire the batteries like the retail ones but have the charging pcb charge it externally through the socket that the normal adapter uses?

[@MyPlayHouse]

The original batteries are only 1,2volt each,, so they need to go in series to get up to 3,6Volt,, whereas the 18650 Li-ion cells are 3,6volt and therefor I put those to in parallel.

[@I3ordo]

​@@MyPlayHouse that fact prevents us from charging the batteries through the original socket ?(where we plugged the adapter before, we plug to the charging pcb's input)

[@julitodecarrion]

Helloo! What is the problem if I put the TP4056 WITHOUT protection? What are the advantages of putting the one with protection? Thanks u very much!

[@MyPlayHouse]

Well read what protection it supplies, and see if you need that.

[@julitodecarrion]

@@MyPlayHouse ok, thanks, but I wanted to know if with this TP4056 the battery can exploit or it's safe. Best regards!

[@jonnygelato]

Is it possible to power the screwdriver with one 18650 since it can supply 3.7v? I'm trying to do it with a tray / battery holder and new a 3d printed end cap.

[@MyPlayHouse]

Yes that is posable,, It want have the same power,, but should turn :-)

[@HexBinEdit]

What are the better websites to find replacement batteries for a decent price if I'm not going to buy a large quantity? Are there any alternative places one should be looking for batteries as well?

[@MyPlayHouse]

Ebay,, or amazon,, everything over 3800mah is usually BS in 18650 cells.

[@yellow_panther]

Why not replace the old batteries with loke for like new ones?

[@MyPlayHouse]

Li-ion is just so much better,,, they hold power,,, for years!

[@locopormiami972]

Where can I buy batteries for this screwdriver?

[@MyPlayHouse]

18650s are available everywhere.

[@yadmastercs5946]

This is really helpful and has reversed my decision to throw away my B&D HP9048 Type 1 which is still like new but flat as a pancake. It is a 4.8 volt screwdriver so as I'm no electrician could you advise what the best batteries and charging circuits I should use when I upgrade it? Ideally I would like to use a USB charger as you do. Thanks.

[@MyPlayHouse]

[@GeertDroid]

Why did you not buy the TP4056 with protection circuit ? This was more suitable for this project.

[@nickldominator]

While buying one with a DW01 protection IC would have been better, It's unlikely the FET controlled by the DW01 would handle the large spike in current draw from the motor, and also the DW01 is likely configured to cut load at no more than an amp or two anyways.

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi Geert Pirens Thank You very much! This was with the TP4056, it hase some protection :-) Thank you for watching! :-)

[@nickldominator]

@@MyPlayHouse the TP4056 IC contains contains no protection for short or OD. The board you used only provides charging, no real protection.

[@dindin4072]

@@nickldominator It's true. i tried today with protection circuit and it burns the board as soon as you press the power button. Led's won't turn on anymore. So i made the same as in the video. Only using battery terminals and hoping to charge it before battery is discharged too much.

[@OneCosmic749]

Don't you need some fuses for those big banks of li-ions? If one cell goes fire then the whole basement could go fire?

Hello This project is great! What happens if I use batteries with 7800 mah ? Here only I can get 1800 mAh or 7800 mAh Thank you!

[@MyPlayHouse]

If you are using 18650 cells 3700mah is max,, everything over that is Chinese wishful thinking :-) and you will be lucky to get 10-20% of what they promise. But you can put any 18650 cells in... and better batteries gives better performances.

[@roncola1980]

How long does it take to fully charge? I'm thinking of putting a circuit on each battery

[@MyPlayHouse]

My best estimate is about 5 hours.

[@chomsea8325]

I bought 2 of 14500 cells with BMS (to replace 3AA Nicd cells) and it doesn't work. What confused me is the model I have has a built-in flashlight and the flashlight works well D: But not the motor!

[@einfelder8262]

USB-C can charge at 9v and 5v, that's why the extra chips on the board.

[@nickldominator]

Unfortunately, that isn't what they are for. What you are talking about is the USB-PD spec, which those extra ICs do NOT do. The extra chips are a DW01 chip for over-discharge, over-charge, and over-current protection of the Lithium battery. The other extra chip is the FET controlled by the DW01 to switch on/off the load in the event of a fault condition mentioned above. The USB-C connector on there doesn't do anything special besides simply being a superior connector :)

There is no acid in lithium based batteries Even though there is no metallic lithium inside, water would cause lithium to catch fire. The electrolyte is alcohol based and most modern lithium batteries have no other substances in them just cathode material, anode material, separator and alcohol.
