    I had so many replaced free of charge by Dewalt. They know it’s a problem. I had to buy non Dewalt batteries so i can work. The reset doesn’t work on my dead batteries. Hopefully Dewalt will fix problem.

    All of my Dewalt batteries are doing this now, they used to not drain all the way and require jumpstart. I had Dewalt batteries for years and now they have all turned the shit, even a new one.

    • @keithfarnsworth6452
      @keithfarnsworth6452 3 місяці тому

      I found that some of my tools (also one of my chargers would slow drain the batteries - I now always disconnect my batteries from the tools when not in use - If the batteries are still discharging on their own - relatively quick - that’s often caused by a failed cell (if your battery has a failed cell, this jump-start won’t fix it)

    They will get warm if they are charging from a fully discharged state, just like lead acid or gel batteries. I check mine with my heat gun and let them stay on the charger until they drop down to room temp.

    I am typically skeptical about stuff I see on the internet...but I just tried this and it legit works. I had to have them hooked up for about 60 seconds. The battery was starting to get just the slightest of warm on the back...but it's in the charger right now.

    Thank you SO much for figuring this solution out and for posting your video here. Thought I was a goner when the DeWalt site was of absolutely no help whatsoever. This saved me the price of a new charger and/or battery.

  • @originalmetalhead73

    Thanks for the video. I put a fully charged Dewalt battery in a "Dewalt type" flashlight I bought on Amazon, tried it out (it lit up) and then turned it off an put it in my tool bag. A week later I took it out and flipped the power button on and NOTHING. Battery was dead, dead, dead. I didn't leave it on and there was no indication that any power was being used. I can only speculate that there is some type of undetected battery drain going on when a battery is hooked up to the flashlight. I will use your method to resurrect this dead battery. Thanks.

    My dad had a 2ah that did nothing like in this video I put some metal shims in the B+B- then checked my voltage it read 2.34 volts i used this technique and hooked it to my 4ah battery and now the meter reads 16volts and the light comes on when checking the charge. Powers out at my house at the moment, it's funny what we do when the TV isn't working, so I can't put it on the charger but we will see what happens when cleveland public power fixes my problem

    • @beyondthebirdhouse4796
      @beyondthebirdhouse4796 Рік тому

      If your battery is running down quickly, it’s most likely a failed cell within the battery pack, and this solution won’t work for you, you should warranty out the battery with Dewalt, the solution is used if your battery is totally drained and below the threshold for the charger to recognize the battery (this happens with some of the tools left connected for long periods of time) - but a failed cell, can’t be fixed, can only be replaced

  • @f.jenabieh8348

  • @richardnielsen7278

    I believe what this actually does is reset the BMS (battery maintenance system). On larger lifepo4 batteries the systwm protects from overcharging, over discharging and excessive amperage. Some time they need to be reset. Doing this procedure will do that and it just takes a second.

  • @UnfilteredJustice
    @UnfilteredJustice Рік тому

    That battery may have internal problems with the cells, which explains the warm touch. I'd be careful with that. DeWalt has all the safety mechanics inside the battery, not the charger.

    What happens when the hot light on the charger turns on

    • @beyondthebirdhouse4796
      @beyondthebirdhouse4796 Рік тому

      This solution works when a battery is below the charging threshold/rundown too far. Typically overheating is caused because there’s a damaged cell in the battery pack, if this happens, the cells / battery pack will need to be replaced - if your battery is still under warranty, DeWalt will honor the warranty, there’s a few UA-cam videos that show you how to open the battery pack and replace the cells, however, it’s in my experience that it’s not cost-effective, and easier to just replace the battery pack if you have a cell that’s overheating

    I work on electronics as a hobby. I have an adjustable power supply for injecting voltage into circuits when doing board level repairs. I set my power supply to 10 volts 0.5 amps and connected positive to B+, and negative to B-. After only about 5 seconds the battery started charging on the Dewalt charger. These lithium ion batteries get below a certain voltage and the stock Dewalt charger will not charge them because they are too low on power. Giving them a "jump" will always work until the lithium battery is beyond repair. If the batteries do not charge after about 30 seconds, you are better off getting a new battery. Don't go past 30 seconds to a minute because the battery is bad, and there may be safety risks.

      This repair will only work if a battery is discharged, it will not work if there’s a failed cell, if it has a failed cell, contact DeWalt directly for a warranty claim
