*This battery reconditioning program exceeded my presumptions. It worked on any drill battery, several AA and AAA batteries, **batery.repair** and any camera battery. The steps are simple and the act itself is exciting to do. No matter what type of battery you`ve got, it is sure to function again!*
This only works if you battery is "asleep" putting it in the freezer forces the cells to go into sleep mode.. However if one of those 6 battery cells inside are defective, it wont fix your overall problem. Typically lithium ion cells only have a chemically reliable composition for a maximum of 6 years. Also each slot on your charger is only designed for a max 5V per channel... and that battery you are using is connected in series so probably 18.8v... a charger like that with a 5V ouput per battery channel and 500ma (max of 2amps total for all four channels) is not enough amperage to really kick start the battery you are working on (which usually have a rating of around between 4 to 5 amps average output per cell (in laptops anyway)The only reason this works for you is because the freezer probably made the cells dip so low in charge that they had a maximum charge of say 12v.. Most dead laptop batteries typically have an internal short or due to overheating suspend themselves . Best thing to do is take each cell out test the capacity rating of each find the weak capacity battery, if there isnt one then use a balancer. But for folks who cant be bothered opening the laptop battery (which is all spot welded together in series) this method might work ok! This explains why however in Canada here our winters are so bad that anyone who leaves their batteries in their truck below -5 degrees Celsius it goes into "sleep mode" and contractors dont have the time to bother with batteries so they end up throwing away perfectly good battery packs at the battery recycling station. Also the BMS chip inside doesnt balance the cells well because the companies that make them (theres only really 3 power tool companies to be honest) want you to pitch them and buy new as thats how they keep people consuming. Often the chip is to blame and the cells (if theyre made by samsung or sanyo like in the dewalt brands) are completely fine... its just a ruse to get you to buy more stuff....
In my case, my laptop was charging about 20% of total capacity and bios was sending errors. It was because the AC adapter wasn't original and wasn't able to charge it properly. I bought an original ac adapter and after some days plugged, the battery returned to normal, charging to about 70% original capacity. (it have about 7 years).
I'm doing the same thing... and it's working...I didn't use my laptop for months and didn't remove the battery... And I was curious if someone is doing the same...🤠👍
Interesting. I have another problem. My laptop never run actually on battery. From day one, it is hooked to charger. Now, laptop works basically 25-30 minutes max. Is there a hope without buying new battery? Thank you in advance for the answer.
Perfect solution to kick start my totally flat laptop battery which had been in storage for five plus years. The hardest part was identifying which pins were positive and which were negative. Google wasn’t very helpful, manufacturers are not forthcoming with this info.
@Garage Maxed Out Laptop at first reported 0% charge from the battery, Then unplugging the battery and putting it back in the laptop reports 100% charge. Yet when trying to run on the battery, the laptop loses power when I unplug the power. The battery doesn't work. Is there some way to kick-start the battery or trick the laptop into thinking it needs to charge the battery?
In actuality you need specialised hardware (i.e. EV2300/EV2400) with software (Smart Battery Workshop or Battery EEPROM Works) to really reset a laptop battery. Specifically you need to reset the BQXXXX IC that is located on the PCB board - to which the 3 pairs of 18650 cells are connected to. 😑😕😒 I have an assembled/saved playlist with videos on this topic on my channel.
How long does it take to charge when the cable is attached in the battery? 10, 15 min? Can 9 volt charger do the trick? And how long do I need to charge the laptop after that?
Hi. Thank you for a good idea(information) of how to fix old laptop battery. My feedback to you is about the production recording: I waited to see what /which pin gap in battery you were going to attach the wire from charger to. The critical image I was waiting was covered by your back of your hand. I was expecting it going to be a close up. It is a good 'infotainment' channel. My suggestion for your next videos is, more close up images of subject matter, not the room wall and your hand. Looking forward for your next video. Cheers
I opened the pack and manually charged the cell that was too discharged for the bms to deem safe.Once all groups were charged to 4.2,i closed the pack and plugged it in and the laptop now charges.
Does this work with a fully charges 18650 cell? Because when I try it the charger shows end.. but not work for me, tester7 batteries all of them not succeeden, so yeah or the charger dus not give power to the batterie due to the end mode. Or all deep cycle batteries dont work
My PC doesn't even charge and turn on, I have been charging it for days and nothing has changed, can you help me with that? Its been off for almost 6 years, I miss it
I'm having a strange problem with my battery. It somehow fell into deep discharge state and I don't know how to revive it and also my laptop shows plugged in but not charging dialogue
contradictory video states only certain types of battery. Li-ion is NOT listed. Watch and see what you think ruclips.net/video/2OsmhqIa6EQ/видео.html @@GarageMaxedOut
Does anyone have a method for a dead Li-ion battery pack? My charger only gives 1-2 volts to the battery. And 30-40 volt to the laptop itself. It doesn't charge the laptop's battery at all. The laptop only works when the charger is plugged in. ( I have a lenovo thinkpad and I don't know the model of it)
When i tried to charge my laptop it didnt work now its at 9 percent pls help me what do i do???? Will it not be usable anymore if its 0 percent?? Im having a heart attack
I put my battery in the freezer for about 40 minutes. It was not dead but even though it charges up 100% it only lasts 1 hr. It used to last at least 3hrs. It is the oversized battery. Is there something that I can do to revive the longer time span?
@@TamasLukacs-ltommie place the battery inside a cloth bag, then put the cloth bag inside a sealable Ziploc bag so that the condensation won't get to it. www.makeuseof.com/tag/jump-start-dead-laptop-battery/
@@dinaru25 Thanks,but I can't remove the battery easily. One day I might study the process, but it will waste time and not easy. The bastards made it as difficult as possible
@@TamasLukacs-ltommie I wouldn't freeze by laptop. That's a great way to ruin the silicon in your processor. It might not break it but it can definitely effect it. Believe it or not processors can get to cold.

Thank you I love tricky DIYs like this. Even if they're not perfect it's better than nothing. 🤘😆
Glad you like them!
But did it help you? It didn't, or else you'd have writen that. So why leave positive feedback if you don't even know if it works?
That did work here, THAAAANKS

No; in future take out the battery. Even if the laptop is plugged in all the time, it is constantly charging and discharging the battery.

thanks this is rly helpful
Glad to hear!
weird. how can a dangerous temp level (that actually damaging the battery) bring it back to life? I don't get it.
Think of it like when you electrocute shock someone back to life
the freezing changes the battery chemistry but i heard freezing battery to revive it only works for Ni-MH battery

I was under the impression that putting a Li-ion battery in the freezer was a bad idea and would kill the battery cells

Did it work really!!!!???!!!!
Yup, I've done it on many batteries. Some work better than others. Some don't work at all.
Ive found a laptop that is 11 year old and the battery is 0 percent plugged in not charging can i still revive it with this method?
Probably
Works on li-ion batteries??
Yes

@@geezee1579 no eventually batteries run out of charge time as time goes by do to age. There is only so many times that batteries can be charged.
Since My laptop battery is built in for some strange reasons, I have to put my whole laptop in the freezer lol
I think it might be dangerous since the condensation when taking it out can short-circuit it.
