Constructive criticism: Long intro and nothing sped up so i have to watch you turn a screwdriver. More importantly, tell me why we are even doing this or how to know if this might solve the problem while you're resetting it. I had to go back and search through the long intro to see if you mentioned why you just did a reset. I think most people who find this video just want to fix their battery, and I should be able to within 10 or 20 seconds know if the rest is worth watching. Say that first. :). Thanks for the video. It was helpful.

@mnevitt33 EXCELLENT comment! I see that the author of the video agrees and thanks you for your feedback (kudos to the OP). Your comment/feedback needs to made on MOST videos posted on YT. Boiled down it's the advice given to those giving a public speech: 1) say what the speech is about 2) explain in detail what you want to say & 3) summarize and remind the audience what you said

Thanks for the info. Did you test the voltage before you reset? Most of the videos say the charger won't recognize the battery if voltage is below 30v. Just wondering if reset does any good until voltage is brought to 30-35v?

Hi Jeff, I have a Ryobi 4Ah 40 volt battery and I watched your video for the 6Ah. I found the circuit like yours and tried jumping it like you did 3 times and it did not work. I noticed the configuration is different on my battery and there is another set of connections right next to the 5 set. It also says ground and reset and has 6 tabs. I tried to do the same with that one with no success. Any suggestions? Do you have a video for the 4 Ah? Thanks for any help you can supply. These batteries are expensive.

It might be that the battery is toast. I will see if I have time to put together 4a battery video for you tomorrow, otherwise I can do it one on Monday.

The batteries light “fuel indicator” are lighting up in just the 1st and 3rd marks. Do you have any experience with this?

Have you ever successfully reset the “four flashing lights“ on a 40V 6AH battery model OP40605? Or a 40V 4AH battery model OP40404? I can’t find anyone who’s documented a working procedure for either. These boards have two sets of reset pads lined up side-by-side. I’ve tried various permutations of jumpering one, the other, or both, with and without pushing the test button, all to no avail.
@JeffSeetonLawnCare4 ай бұрын
I have had that issue before on one of my batteries. What I did for that was follow the reset process with a jumper and at the same time I pressed on the battery's power level indicator button on the side of the battery. The issue was resolved after that.

Good video! My battery appears dead. I opened it - jumped it - no power once I put it back together. With it open I can press the tab to show battery and it's 4 bars. But once I put it back together insert in charge it just looks dead. Any ideas?
@JeffSeetonLawnCareАй бұрын
The first thing I would do is try it on another charge. If it fails then there is a method where you can jump it and follow that by immediately pressing the battery power level button on the side of the battery. It it flashes and then drops to a single bar then there is a high chance that it will take a charge. Keep me posted.

Yes, I had a battery show that it was fully charged but then wouldn't run a tool. I fixed it by using the reset method that I used in this video but at the same time as holding the jumper I pressed the charge indicator button on the side of the battery. The power level dropped to the lowest charge level and when I put it on the charger the battery took a charge.

@JeffSeetonLawnCare3 ай бұрын
What I have done before is put a dead battery on the charger for a few second at a time, about 20 times. The battery took a bit of a charge and I was able to reset it. I have also tried that same process with one battery but I couldn't get any charge into it and the battery was recycled. If your battery is under 5 years then it may still be under the Ryobi limited warranty.

Give it a jump start with another battery. Negative to negative and then working batterie's positive to dead batterie's positive in this orders and hold it for few seconds and it should get enough charge for the regular charger to read onces more

What is there to know? I own a lawncare company and I run it using only battery powered tools. I have multiple Ryobi mowers, grass trimmers, leaf blowers, pole saws, chain saws, edgers, brush cutters and more. It is no different then when I running gas powered tools. Both require planning. My planning for battery tools includes having a contract that allows me to plug in and charge batteries while at client locations.
