Nice work, you should try to use the slots in the new strip, a probe each side of the slot - this encourages the current to flow through the strip and the cell making for a better weld
Thank you Doctor, for a very helpful video 🤗. I have lots of dewalt tools and batteries and have not had a failure till just recently (after over ten years). I believe my low failure rate may be because I put a battery on the charger as soon as it is partially discharged rather than running it right down. I also store the tools and batteries inside a heated garage. The only failure, which I now know how to fix🤗😉, was a battery that was under heavy load right down to complete discharge 🤦♂
Thank you I appreciate all helpful comments. What you say is right. Swapping the leads around is for the viewer to show a positive voltage rather than a negative as it would if the black probe is at the positive end and red wire at the negative. I don't want to confuse the viewer. I also have had cells in such bad shape they have reversed polarity so still showing positive voltage if the leads are the wrong way around. It is important to be mindful which way around the cell is being measured for this very reason.
I initially thought the same as OP, but soon realised why you were making the effort to maintain correct polarity when I discovered two of mine had done exactly that - reverse polarity - so thanks for being so thorough, great video, really appreciate it 👍
Im hoping to get a few batteries fixed this winter. This will be a good guide.
If you need any additional information let me know

Thanks for the advice

Great to hear!
Good job!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
This is a great help, thanks!
You are welcome I wanted to do an indepth video just to show people what I am doing
Just a tip - you don't need to swap leads when checking battery voltage.

First!
Well done
