I think the wires you used may carry less current than the original tabs. But that may not be an issue if you use it for low drain application. Also, why measure the voltage after you close the case? Would make more sense to measure it before. Lastly, what does the middle terminal do?
yes, you're right about the wires carrying less current! I honestly can't remember why, but probably just to make sure it still worked after I sealed it up. I'm not sure what the middle tab does!
I have two of these batteries that are dead when I put them in the charger they don't charge up but there is no external damage to the outer shell. I was wondering if I could jump start the batteries to get them to work again?
if you have something like a RC car battery charger with different charge modes you can probe the terminals of the dead battery and try to jump start them slowly, i’ve done it with LIPOs but never with these types of battery’s so take that with a grain of salt. if u have a voltmeter check the leads of the battery to see if there’s continuity / voltage. if there is you might be able to jump start but if no voltage / continuity means broken leads inside the battery
Probably not unfortunately. Eventually batteries lose the ability to hold a charge at all because the metal components inside simply just erode aware over time and then aren’t there to conduct electricity anymore.

Thanks for this you saved Me 45usd fixing 2 of my batteries
Genius! Superb video and explanation

More Mears Lab!! I love these kinds of videos.
Thank You! There's LOTS more on the way.

I love that intro dude
Thank You!
@@mearslab Did you record the intro music? Of course you did!
ChrisWilkinson you bet!
@@mearslab of course this makes the intro 11ty billion times more awesome
ChrisWilkinson many thanks!
very good!
6600mAh = 6600 mA HOURS OR 6.6Ah @ 7.2v = 47.52Wh
You're totally right! I have some other 8.8Ah NPF batteries too and I must have made a mistake!
