    Genius! Just spent a scary twenty minutes in my shed worrying I was going to electrocute myself, but batteries now charging again. Clever stuff. Thanks!

    Worked like a charm. Haven't used the battery in over 5 years and was low at 1V. I used my fathers good battery and it worked instantly. Thanks a ton.

    I just went out to my garage to see if I could fix two of my three Craftsman batteries that only worked for a couple of months. I’ve been doing all of my yard work with one battery, sharing it between my weed eater, blower and hedge trimmer. I cut a couple pieces of wire, followed your instructions and less than a minute later both of the dead batteries are charging!! Many thanks to you for posting this!!

    Hey bro I just want you to know that you saved me a bunch of money !!! I was about to buy a new set of tools because I have porter cable 18volt system with many tools and attachments . I did this trick and boom all of my batteries came back to life and are holding 16.5 _ 18.9 volts again ! Thanks so very much . I'm glad I ran across this video.

    I was about to throw two batteries away until i found this video! 30 to 45 seconds connected to a good battery and now they are both charging! Thanks you!

    This technique worked perfectly for me. My charger only flashed red. Cross wired with a Dewalt battery and now both Porter Cable batteries are Back in action!

    Dude, You saved me $200 to buy a new 58V battery for my echo weed eater. The charger says the battery is no good, I metered the large battery it had about 2 volts. I connected a couple of wires from a Harbor freight power tool battery for about 60 seconds and I was off and running! Thanks !!!

  • @kentspeed67

    Thanks so much for posting! Bought a new Porter Cable Drill with 2 batteries and neither battery worked. This fixed it!!!!

    I can't say this often about RUclips vids, but this actually works, thanks. I received a new 20v 1.5 lithium battery from eBay a few days ago, wouldn't take a charge. Received a replacement just today, same thing. Watched your vid, hooked up the wires for literally maybe 30 seconds, hooked the battery up to the charger and bingo green light flashing, (charging).

    Excellent! This procedure also worked with my Greenworks 40V battery that acted dead. Jumpered it with another Greenworks 40V. Thank you for your well done video!

    Thanks. Did what you suggested and my pack is charging up. I hooked mine up to a power supply for a very brief time and put it the charger. Green to go! Sure appreciate your taking the time to post the video. Two thumbs up.

    I guess I left my battery out side in my shed over Winter after I had ran it dead. I just did what the video showed and now it's charging. thanks save the day
