Are Power Tool Battery Packs Fixable? Let's Find Out!

In this video I'm working on fixing something I haven't fixed before - 2 broken power tool battery packs. Since sometimes the battery is the post expensive part of a power tool it would be great if they were fixable. One is a DeWALT 20V Max Lithium Ion 5 AH battery and the other is Milwaukie 18V 2AH battery pack.

I know a lot has already been said at this point so I'd like to simply say thank you. I look forward to you and your teams videos and am excited to see new content. I'm getting older and there aren't a lot of channels out there anymore I look forward to seeing new uploads. You've scratched that niche interest for me and kept me entertained for years. Hearing you talk about what you're going through in the same casual tone as all your other videos broke my heart a little. I also recognize that you're processing this in the best way for you, while trying to keep your community informed and entertained. I respect that a lot. Again, thank you.

[@kriscynical]

My sister battled breast cancer years ago, and one useful comfort tip I can offer: once you do lose your hair, be mindful of the direction you scrub in when you wash your scalp. Be sure to scrub in the direction the follicles naturally grow in. It doesn't sound like it would matter that much, but "going against the grain" like that can actually make your scalp really tender! You'll be going through enough discomfort with the chemo without having something like that added into the mix. All the positive energy in the world to you in the coming months, man. You can do this.

[@Tronicsfix]

Thanks for this tip! I found this to be true for me too. I wore a hat and the seam rubbed in one spot & made it sore there.

Im a Carpenter/builder and use these batteries all the time. If you run them down using your tools, the battery check leds will not show voltage(light up). So, you might have fixed them and not know, if they are not above the required voltage. Also, sorry to hear about the cancer, i started watching your videos to help me fix my old DMG-01 Gameboy and got hooked. All the best! You've got an amazing community for support.

I've been following you from the beginning. In fact I was one of the people that was critical of you when you started fixing video game systems with zero knowledge or experience.

[@jessebarnhill3883]

Hi Steve, I work at Batteries Plus. I've done a lot of repairs on drill batteries and rebuilt them as well. For your DeWalt battery, the minimum voltage for the charger to recognize it needs to be charged would be 16 volts to about 15.5. This is because it has multiple different batteries in it and those batteries are 18650s. Each one of those batteries have a 3.7 volt charge. 18650s minimum voltage required to charge would be around 2.5 volts. Multiplying that by how many batteries it has gives you the minimum requirement for the charger to recognize it needs to be charged

[@UpintheAir1395]

Do you guys repair Packs with 18650's or larger lithium cells at your batteries plus? Cuz all we used to do at the one I worked at were the Ni-CD and Ni-MH ones.

[@jessebarnhill3883]

@@UpintheAir1395 Hey man! My store doesn't work on the lithium packs due to the possibility of there being damaged lithium and shorting out the electronic causing the batteries to overload. I am just familiar with the packs because I use 18650s for other purposes.

[@MattsAwesomeStuff]

I'm shocked that an electronics guy gave up on fixing a battery, or heck, even put it back on the charger, without checking the voltages of the individual cells. Milwaukee in particular might just flip a switch in software and say "never try to charge this again" after a couple failures. 14.5V means nothing if that's 3.6v per cells on 4 cells, and one cell at zero. Or... just try to charge up the weak cells manually and see if they take some energy. It's so simple and he didn't even check!

[@MrN8007]

I have fixed over a dozen old batteries some with water damage etc. only see one bad board surprisingly. Red green one was definitely like Jesse said low voltage. I usually balance charge the cells first to at least 3.5 volts so they all match. If one cell is very weak I usually replace it which is a pain. That spot welder you have doesn’t seem very strong. Mine was cheap under $40 and will melt those nickel strips like butter if I don’t watch the level. I usually test before use so I don’t melt something I need lol.

[@connynordqvist2689]

​@@MattsAwesomeStuffThis guy is used to fixing circuitboards on ps5:s, xbox:es and so on. Not fixing batterypacks for powertools. This was a spinoff-video so you can't blame him for not having knowledge about these type of repairs.

[@mgomez5606]

I had my prostate removed 15 months ago because I had cancer. It was like someone hit me with a bat when they told me. I was worried because I did not know how the future was going to be. The best news was that it had not spread and I wish the same for you. I have been getting my PSA checked so that my count does not start going back up. God bless you and stay positive. You will get thru this.

[@kirkthejerk7258]

Steve, I went through a pretty rough radiation + chemo regime last year, and keeping focused on work and hobbies was a nice distraction and definitely healthier than just curling up into a ball and feeling sorry for myself. So it's good to see that you're still making content. Take care of your mental and physical health, and be sure to kick cancer's ass.

I've been a sub for quite some time, and I will keep checking in on your channel even if the stupid algorithm send your videos to the back due to you not being able to keep up with the content production. My mother in law have just recently gone through breast cancer treatment and had to do an intestine surgery at the same time. She sailed through that with ease...at 83 years old! It's amazing how far medical treatment has come. You got this too Steve! Get well wishes from Sweden

3:27 Dude, your editor is awesome. He goes _way_ beyond necessary and right into "rule of cool."

Steve, utmost respect and admiration for your openness and your commitment to continue with your work and entertainment for everyone. 'Hey, just so you know I'm actually quite poorly at the moment, but it's ok I'll deal with it. Anyway, let's get back to work'.... Just know that you don't have to do this for us. Your physical and mental health is far more important. I wish you all the best and a happy healthy future.

Get well soon sir, God speed as you are fixed as you keep on fixing stuff that's broken.

Best of luck with your treatment Steve, love you videos as they've pushed me to keep learning micro-soldering, even when I failed many times.

Hey bro I hope you pull through, my dad's been going through the same thing for the past 2 years now. It sucks when somebody gets cancer but all you can do is stay positive. Stay strong!

Aw, Steve... That's awful, good that you're staying positive. I wish you well with your health, here's to you and your family. ❤

I’m a huge fan of the channel. I am making this comment as I watch so I’m not sure if you’ll figure this out this video. The cells should each be about 3-3.9 volts. Typically if a cell goes bad the battery won’t charge anymore. The individual cell can be replaced but they usually need to be balanced with each cell as close to the same voltage as possible. That circuit board has a battery management system (BMS) that balances each cell during charging. So if a cell is bad (low voltage) the charger will not charge it and they usually recommend taking it somewhere to be recycled.

Keep Strong!! Just found out my cousins 4yr old had lost his eye sight from a cancer behind his eye. Thanks for the upload!
