    Great work ! And thank you for the walkthrough. I just saved a BL1840B from soft-lock!
    In addition, I can also confirm that the precompiled binary for windows works okay

      Thank you for the comment and the confirmation on the windows binary!
      Glad you could save the battery, one less battery that might have been discarded that is still good.

    What happened to part 3?

      Thanks for the comment.
      It is here (but I guess I didn't exactly call it part 3), I will provide a link in the video description as well.

    hello. where did you get the .hex file? can you specify or add to the cloud?

      Would like to know too

      The .hex file is not generally required per say it was provided as a tool to give necessary information to the author of OpenBatteryInformation located at this link below to help add support for the battery I am trying to unlock.
      github.com/mnh-jansson/open-battery-information
      As of this writing the author is busy at work on a release that will include support for this battery that I am trying to unlock.
      The project (including downloads of the Arduino project) can be found at the link above.
      This Arduino project in combination with the Python script (GUI interface) should provide the necessary tools to see battery status information and unlock batteries that have been locked out.
      For more information please follow the above link to download or view the "issues" section of the referenced GitHub project.

    great job bro have you worked on other battery models, such as the hilti b22. very expensive battery and rude engineering.

      Thanks for the comment.
      Sorry, I do not have any personal experience with other batteries, but the author of OpenBatteryInformation I believe is planning to expand support to other batteries too. I would recommend contacting him and asking.
      Yes it is quite a shame that the manufactures do this to the end users. The batteries are quite expensive and such a waste when a lockout condition occurs. While it is done for safety it can be a false positive fault detection and the manufactures have chosen to error on the side of safety.
      It may be a money grab at the same time, if a battery is locked out it will just be thought of as damaged, tossed, and a new one bought. Such a waste of money and resources.

    This is F0513?

      Thanks for the comment.
      Yes, this battery uses the dreaded F0513 microcontroller.

      Can you share a solution to unlock this controller?​@@allans-workshop
