I showed you everything in detail but maybe I confused you because I showed the other side of the board but I didn't make any changes there. All the work is in the resistors🙂
I have a parkside double charger that one slot is not charging nor does it light up. I admire your work. Can you please advice as what should I check? Fuse seems OK by measuring it.
Measure the voltage across the capacitor after the transformer. It should be around 21.6V. If there is no voltage in the capacitor, it may be the transistor in the primary coil of the transformer.
@ErCanEverything hello again. I've measured both sides the negative and positive and both show the same voltage of 4,6v(without battery connected). Once connected the working side pumps up to 20,4v but the other side doesn't. I assume there must be a problem with the third pin of the connector the ID,thermal pin.
@@ErCanEverything That's precisely why I said it, my intention is to leave it as it is, with the same resistors that it comes with, I just wanted to have the possibility of charging 2ah and 4ah batteries with just one switch, thank you very much friend for your answer.
@@kocetoMR The original charger already charges at 4.5ah for 4ah batteries, perhaps it is bad to charge lithium batteries at 1c but the factory charger already charges at 4.5ah for 4ah batteries, it would be good to put a switch and have the possibility of charging at 2ah for 2ah batteries.
It depends on the AH of the battery your are trying to charge. If you charge the 8ah battery,than obviously the 5,6 setting won't do any harm because it is below the ah of the battery. If however you try the 5,6 setting to a 2ah battery, you have a higher risk of ruining the battery in the long run. In general charging amperage should be half of the ah of the battery.
@@ErCanEverything damaged like the 4.5A with your 5.6A mod. same thing with the battery, and the gain of charging time is very limited. Note also charging 8Ah battery on theses charger are not very recommended, as the charging time (and the time where the charger will heat) is doubled vs 4Ah.
Very good video! I have the older 2.4A charger, but its different from this one, you know how to do this on the older charger? I have 5 of them, i am willing to risk modifying one
...Worst part is that the low current setting has more chances to set his house on fire. On 2,3 A charge current that poor resistor needs to discharge double the heat.
This has become my favorite video. Can't watch it enough.
This is a simple and effective hack ❤
It's really easy my Friend, but you shouldn't overdo it like I did in the first attempt😁
Sarebbe bello vedere più
precisamente i collegamenti finali che hai fatto, ma l idea è geniale!

the hack is good but more current is not always a best way to charge a battery. Lower current is good 😉😉
That why there are 3 option switch😉

As always, great job Brother!
Thank you Brother🙂🤝❤️
So you could also alternatively cut one end of one of the resistors and put a switch and select 2a and 4.5a? Thanks for the video and the idea.
Exactly, but if you decide to add a resistor you need to keep an eye on the temperatures and I don't recommend going above 5.5A

this is a very high current for these Chinese battery,even 4.2A is a lot. 0:02

@juanrodriguez3165 you should do the same with the older charger that is just 2.4 amps. A switch that can boost it to 4.5
thank you for this video. a question is it better to charge a battery with a low charging current. example 2.4A instead of 4.5A.

@@ΣΤΑΥΡΟΣΓΚΕΡΛΕΣ Thank you for this valuable information
Basically yes.
The slower the better.
If you want the battery to be full again quickly, just charge it quickly.
Is this also possible with the 2.4amp charger?
Maybe, but 2.4A and 3.5A don't have a fan and will heat up a lot, they might even get damaged.

Сгорели Q5, Q6 , как они называются?
engineers: let's make it safe and limit the current. This guy: who cares if my shed goes on fire
...Worst part is that the low current setting has more chances to set his house on fire. On 2,3 A charge current that poor resistor needs to discharge double the heat.
What are the values of resistors?
Their resistances are 0.1 ohm, but I don't know how many watts they are. Otherwise, dimensions are d3.75mm L10.8mm
@@ErCanEverything seems to be an 2W resistors, maybe 1W. 1W will heat more than 2W, as usual.
I just did the math and that sole resistor for the 2.3A Charge setting ...is on fire man. You need a bigger resistor ( Wattage not Ohm ).
This is only 0.1 Ohm ?
Brother what is the resistor value 😅
the rings of colors indicate the value.
Nice video brate. Everything with Parkside Batteries makes life more easy. Greetings from 💛💙💛💙💛💙
How we can do from old changer 2.4 A to new changer 4.5 A?
This will not work because the 2.4A and 3.5A do not have a cooling fan.
👍👍👍👍👍
Respect!
Why should I doing this? It is much better to have 2 battery instead to have not so faster charger.
yes, for the battery sake, and charger too
