Small repair in my old Einhell Power Xchange battery !!

[@baristasmaestro2240]

I ve done it and it works, thanks for your help my friend,i was allredy to spend 100€ to buy another pair of 4Ah einhell 18v.God bless you.

[@stuffrest]

glad to be of help

Just a few safety tips: Don't wear rings when handling the cells - can cause shorts Don't use metal tools - can cause shorts Don't solder tabs on lithium cells - cell can catch fire

My 4ah einhell power xchange battery had a different fault. All three LEDs would flash nine times. The cells were all full and yet it wouldn't drive any tools. Seen little use and was well out of warranty. Swapped out the battery circuit board with an einhell 4ah replacement board from AliExpress for £6.

Nice Video thanks, greetings from Germany

You do not have to disconnect the battery to charge it. All cells can be charged individually while connected. Those cells went out of balance. This happens usually because the battery is not charged to 100%. The BMS on that battery is a top balancer, meaning it will only start balancing when it is over 4.1 volts, around 90%. If you don't charge it all the way, it never balances, and some cells will have lower voltage than others. It is a bit counterintuitive, in that, it is harmful to charge your batteries to 100% but at the same time because of the circuitry on your battery, you kind of have to.

How would this be done? What needs to be used to achieve this?

[@JyrkiPokela]

I think that bms is poorly implemented.

[@dogukancil5128]

@@walter9250 You need an active balancer. There are many available on Aliexpress in many configurations. Active balancers always balance regardless SoC(State of Charge).

I have a battery that shows the green and red LED on but not blinking. Stored it in room temperature but it has no effect. Is there an other way to charge the batteries separately ? Such a T240 is more expensive than a new battery.

[@Umski]

Thanks, I had exactly the same issue with a 3Ah pack - one cell pair was down to ~0.2V :o - bumped the bad cells' voltage up to around 3.5V @100mA using a bench supply before upping it to 1A to get it up to 4.1V to balance with the other cells and the charger seemed to then be happy with the pack - think the reason was not being used all winter but puzzled as to why one cell pair went bad :/ P.S. The music is a little distracting!

[@vogliadisapere]

Can anyone tell me the type and size screwdriver to open the battery ? It is Torx ? I proof that ones but can't 😢

[@stuffrest]

T-10

[@Marorrai]

I didn't fully understand how to individuate the faulty cell. I get i have to measure the voltage and look for batteries below the minimum threshold but where can i find out this value?

[@stuffrest]

look for cells lower than 3.6volt

[@Marorrai]

@@stuffrest Perfect, thank you

[@themysterygamerpl7089]

​@@stuffrestis every cell faulty if i have 3 + pins and one is 0.5v second is 0.6v and the last one is 0.7?

[@designardcv]

Hi, this model donst have Green leds level in the battery when Is full?

[@stuffrest]

no.

[@hakanhakan9932]

have a nice day. There is NTC heat resistance under the yellow band on the battery. Can you measure and tell me how many ohms it is?

[@stuffrest]

9.7 kΩ by the multimeter .Sorry for the delay ..

[@hakanhakan9932]

thanks. no problem. einhell turkey replied in 30 days you are fast again

[@paulmcdade9835]

It seems like a lot of kerfuffle when the batteries and chargers are so cheap I was gonna try and fix my one but I’ve got a good deal on a charger and a battery so it will be going to not landfill my local dump for responsible recycling. Or I might put in the local supermarkets battery bin

[@koulee4]

Show you replace the bad cells??i didnt see the solution??

[@bradsigsworth7973]

Hi. Is there any way that I could contact you directly please?

[@markojevra1102]

Can I Just replace the bad cell with another one, diferent brand but same voltage and amperage?

[@stuffrest]

yes you can .. and i think is the best solution.

[@arturconde5574]

Can you name of the charger that you use?

So good sir, did it hold?

[@stuffrest]

So far ,Works perfectly !!! Thanks

[@equipservice]

@@stuffrest had the same problem, done a small charge with power supply and the rest on the original charger, but after using the battery it returns to the "no good state" :(

[@stuffrest]

@@equipservice You can try to check for bad cells and replace them...

[@jimgkoodman]

@@equipservice Same problem for an older parkside 18v battery for me. If i charge the battery with other charger it hold good but with the original charger can't charge enough. Maybe it is a problem with the bms board.
