This charger ruclips.net/user/postUgkxknS1MWclRHOKWekYXnBJz8Ex0rEPnrGF works great with the DCB205 and DCB203, I've charged both a few times without issue. After I'd searched for a while this was the best value charger I found and it's new, boxed up well, and it's built as well as any charger I've had.
Works perfectly... Excellent instructions. Only difficult part was removing the T15 torx screws from case. They have security pin so normal torx T15 wrench will not work easily... You tube using flat head screw driver to remove torx screws with security pin... Simple thereafter. I used the legs snipped off the resistors after mounting on PCB to extend existing legs on capacitor as it's too short and thick with its standard snap-in connectors.
Subbed and liked! I have some dewalt cordless battery chargers that are 110 volt. Carrying the large stepdown/step up transformer was a pain. Excellent video! Cheers from Australia 🙂👍👍👍
I brought a step down adaptor for my dewalt battery charger to Tanzania (from the US) and mine still didn't work. I'm gonna try his method when I return to Tanzania.
BS D Dear Rian Thank you so much for sharing with us your video, I wish you could show us much slower how to complete the work you did , and also maybe a close up for the parts you used. Thank you in advance
The grey line marks the negative side of the cap, resistors are not voltage polarity sensitive components. It doesn't matter which load of the resistor goes to the positive or negative due to them literally being a resistive wire.
Thanks for this video Very helpful I also just received DCB205 from the US and did not think about the voltage Will have to ask someone to do it for me as I don’t trust myself to do it alone
The capacitor is used to filter out ripple voltage from a bridge rectifier (converts the incoming AC voltage to DC voltage), if anyone is curious. The reason why the capacitor needs to be rated for 400 volts or greater is because the DC voltage is way too high. Consider that your country uses AC voltage ranging from 220vac to 250vac. Remember, that is the RMS voltage. Multiply the RMS voltage by the square root of 2 (1.414). Once the AC voltage is rectified, your DC voltage will be 311-353.5 volts. Now, put that voltage through an electrolytic capacitor rated for 200 volts and...pop!
@@RiaanKeyser its not a faulty battery, ive just converted mine using your method, the charger will overheat due to access power (higher voltage for the same current) been dropped. i am considering adding a small fan inside the enclosure. Zvi, you are right.
Hello Riaan! my dewalt 110v charger was accidentally plugged in to a 220v, what are the possible compents that have broken. as of the moment when you plug it in 110v the red light is just flickering.
hi Riaan I have DC9310 the capacitor is 560uf 200v what do you recommend as a replacement ? 220uf 450v / 150uf 400v / 100uf 450v or something else? thanks
He estudiado mucho estos cargadores, tengo de 110 v y 220v originales, de una y dos baterias, carga normal y rapida lo de las resistencias de loza esta bien, mi cargador rapido de 110v es igual al de 220v, lo unico que cambia es el condensador y es verdad que uno lleva unos puentes (110v) y el otro lleva resistencias de loza (las que tiene el mio son de 0.82 ohms 5 watts muchos preguntan que sucede con la frecuencia... bueno para el trabajo que hace un cargador no es problema 50 o 60 hertz, el problema se ocasiona en maquinas que poseen motores, pero este no es el caso Los cargadores dewalt vienen casi listos para usarlos con ambos voltajes, no los fabrican con un interruptor de cambio porque sube los costos de produccion en Tailandia (pais donde los fabrican en su mayoria) Incluso en el caso de Milwaukee es mas facil el cambio (solo se cambia un varistor y se corta una pista en una etapa )
Buenas tardes Felipe, te hago una consulta dada tu experiencia, yo conecté uno de estos cargadores sin advertir que era de 110v a una red de 220v, obviamente voló, pero al desarmarlo sólo veo un fusible en la entrada que al medirlo tiene continuidad, y el capacitor que reventó. La pregunta es, estaré a tiempo de hacer el cambio que se recomienda en el video?
Felipe, buenos días.. entonces que recomiendas? porque yo tengo el cargador del video en 110 y lo necesito usar en 220. No soy técnico electronico, pero un amigo si.. y pensaba pedirle que realice lo que indica el video, en tu opinión esta bien o debería hacer otra cosa? Slds y mil gracias.

Hi Riaan. Waar het jy die cap en die resistors gekoop? Ek is in Noordwes en kry nie plekke wat daai spesifieke komponente aanhou nie. Sal enige raad waardeer.
I did just like you, the charger worked for about an hour fully charged and then turned off. After testing I found out about R3 (270Ω) Found near the replaced capacitor was destroyed. What did I do wrong and why did it happen?
Hi Riaan, I watched in some videos which do same job by adding a varistor at the ac input, and a thermistor and changing the capacitor. What do you think ? Which way is better ?
Hi Riaan. I don't understand why you don't change the capacitor of 220uF/200V for one of 220uF/400V. And you say than the ideal is 150uF. Could you explain it please? Thanks
He is actually right in the technical/physics sort of way but not in the electronics sort of way. The two are actually flipped, but he should have not confused people.
Is there a problem in merely using a step down voltage converter instead of converting the components? I've been running my old style Dewalt 18v XRP charger on a converter for about 10 years but my 2nd set of batteries just died. Curious whether it is due to the use of a step down converter or that's the lifetime of these batteries. Also, the charger is 110v 60 Hz and we have 50 Hz here. Thanks!
Hello, could you please check what is the symbol of MOSFET used in DCB115 (black element screwed to upper radiator)? I am trying to convert DCB118 from 110V to 220V, but I heard, MOSFET used originally in DCB118 110V does not work for 220V - it burns. So I tried to verify how it was done in DCB115. Thanks in advance
How the output voltage remains the same when we increase the input voltage. Why does the output voltage not increase as the input voltage increases? E.g. for 110V the output is 20V and for 220V the output should be 40V.
Good afternoon Riaan, I ask you a question given your experience, I connected one of these chargers without noticing that it was 110v to a 220v network, it obviously flew, but when disassembling it I only see a fuse at the entrance that measures it has continuity, and the capacitor that burst. The question is, will I be in time to make the change that is recommended in the video?
@@ShardZA dude i just blew mine. it had some watery fluid that come out. are u sure only capacitor is what will blow? dont they have a fail safe for excess voltage?
Dear Riaan I am really excited to find your channel. I have a question about this article . I plugged my 110v dewalt charger to 220v ,and suddenly remembered it is 110 .After that , when I unplugged it and plugged to a 110v source ,it worked fine , but the charging process took just 30 minutes for a 2ah battery .Do you think its normal or it is damaged ? Best regards
Hi Alireza Test how long your battery last when using your DeWalt product. You should get a fairly long period of use out of the battery. Obviously, product dependant.
@@RiaanKeyser thank you for you answer , Riaan .I really appreciate that. One more question. Is the resistors you mentioned 0.33 ohms or 3.3 ohms ? and the 220 microF/400V capacitor I found is much bigger than the original 200V one . Is it alright to replace it on the pcb ?
Thank you so very much, a question regarding the resistors, my charger is DCB112 so it has a different circuitry so could you help with the jumper location please?
@@RiaanKeyser Riaan thank you so very much for your prompt reply & while I feel kind of dumb having asked you the question the way I did I would appreciate just letting me know the jumpers path if no trouble. I have seen videos of people changing only the capacitor & saying its good enough but I don’t want to risk it. Again I am very thankful. You’re a gentleman:-)
@@MuhammadAli-ch6sm you're more than welcome. I'm glad I can be of assistance. It will definitely work without the resistors, it is just safer with them off course. You can put them in any way around.
What is max drain-source voltage of mosfet? You changed switching voltage 156V DC to 320V DC. Mosfet drain-source voltage must be min 600V. Otherwise will burn/short circuit.
I haven’t studied the charger thoroughly enough but the resistors may be used as a shunt for ac noise or noise being generated by the charger itself but most likely for noisy AC input.
Thank you Riaan Keyser ! As an Electrical engineering student (2nd year) I would love to understand more about the way the resistors you installed helps in this circuit. And why is the new capacitor needed ? Thank you
Hello, nice video! if I have this DCB112 charger and I would like to use it on 220V outlet, can I use a 220v to 110v transformer? the transformers are 300watt, 400watt, 500watt max. Is its going to work with a transformer like this?
Hey Riaan, 3 Questions: 1) Why didn't you put a 400v220uf? will it be better than 100uf? 2) Should I put a fan? 3) Did you cut and replaced the cable to Europe plug cable?
Why putting resistors in parallel with shortcuts? It basically does nothing, it makes no sense Also, what about the 250v T4AL fuse at the very beginning? Isn't that gonna burn / ruin on 311v peaks?
thanks your video and try it last week but no light on so i don't know what happen and didn't changed another components. (exchange 1 cap and two resistor only according your information)
@@RiaanKeyser Yes, I also changed it just like the video and it turns out that when I plug it in the light doesn't turn on, I even used new batteries and nothing doesn't charge. But the strange thing is that when I disconnect the charger from the power with the battery connected, immediately the charger starts flashing. Any solution to this?
So today I did the convertion on my charger and it works,but the light for fully charged is not working. the battery get's charged but when fully the light is blinking one short and one abit longer blinking. but it's get the job done I suppose.
the resistor are used as voltage divider, Vout= Vs X R2 / (R1+R2) Vs =voltage source Vout = output voltage R1 R2 the resistor he's using its 0.33 Ohms 220X0.33 = 72.6 , 0.33+0.33= 0.66 Ohms 72.6 / 0.66=110 Volts
Hello, Since the video is now some month old, is it still working and did you checked the voltage on the battery connector pins ? The led can come out and blink .. but the voltage can be wrong. Cause i can't see how a capacitor swap can solve that 110V difference.
I read an explanation in the comments of another video. It was said that the circuit for this charger is designed for 85 volts up to 250 or so, which means that for just a few pennies, dewalt could have made all of them multivoltage. but I don't know yet how he picked the values for the resistors or knew that they belonged there and as far as I know resistors do not have polarity.
Hey Riaan, is the charger originally is a 'fast charger' ? how long it should take to charge a battery ? what is the affect before and after converting the charger in "charging time" ? last but not least, should the LED change to green when it done ? other indication ?
well mate you are lucky the capacitor didn't blow up on you, never connect 120 Volts equipment to 220 , especially switch mode power supplies they will cause damage. the capacitor was rated for 200V max and you used on a 230 VAC above the cap range , not safe there is not polarity for the resistors , what you basically did was a voltage divider Vout= Vs X R2 / (R1+R2) , you replaced 2 jumpers with 0.33 ohms resistor per the above formula 220X0.33 = 72.6 , 0.33+0.33= 0.66 Ohms 72.6 / 0.66=110 Volts
I recently purchase "Dewalt DCB115 230v @ 50 hertz" battery charger in UAE by mistake. And I am using this in Philippines which is using 60 hertz not 50 hertz. My question is, is it ok to use it in Philippines?
@@ShardZA did it overheat too? like some here experienced? any modifications other than what was shown in the video? how are the batteries charged so far, no effect on their performance? anything pertinent you can share since I can see it has been two years for you. thanks a lot in advance... and cheers! keep safe
@@aljoannesdelmindo1582 I must admit I don't use it often, only when I'm doing enough to run 2 batteries down at the same time, because I already had a 220V one I bought locally, so I only use this one for overflow. But I've not encountered overheating and seems to charge batteries to the same state as my original 220V purely based on runtime, I've not actually measured the specific charge with a voltmeter.
Hi Riaan, awesome video, dink jy dit sal presies dieselfde wees vir ander DeWalt chargers, soos bv vir die DCB118? Wonder maar net of die 50Hz 'n verskil gaan maak.
Dankie. Ek hoop die video help jou. Ek dink dit behoort te werk. Nee, die 50Hz behoort nie 'n verskul te maak nie... Maar ek kan nie verseker sê nie. Sterke
@@RiaanKeyser Dankie Riaan, ek dink ook nie die 50Hz gaan 'n verskil maak nie, dit is net van pas op toestelle met elektriese motors die laaier het tog geen bewegende dele behalwe die cooling fan in die DCB118 wat dalk net nie so sterk gaan blaas nie.
Anybody knows if it can be done on the 4 ports charger dcb 104 ?It was launched in US two years ago and still cannot be found in Europe. There are many for sale on Ebay,but they're for 110V. Thanks.
I think you have mistaken to say that the white line in capacitor is positive. It is not positive. Also the 5watts resistor. There are no polarity on that resistor. Just to correct the misleading information.
Hi Riaan, just subscribed, How can I convert a battery charger of Input 110 volts out put 24 volts 25Amps to 220-240 Volts Input, 24Volts output, 15Amps, charger is Copper coil type.
@@RiaanKeyser Hi Riaan, first off, thanks a lot for sharing. will do your modifications once replacements are at hand. just wanna ask if the modified charger has effect on the life of the battery, charging time, and if it overheated during single or consecutive charging? thanks again, more power to you and keep safe...

Hahaha I drilled them out as well. I also drilled the new capacitor holes for they were too narrow for the 400V one.
I snapped out the pins with a small flat head screw driver, then used an alan key to remove the screws.

1) Why didn't you put a 400v220uf? will it be better than 100uf?
2) Should I put a fan?
3) Did you cut and replaced the cable to Europe plug cable?
A 400v220uf? will work. A 400v150uf would be ideal. No need for a fan. No, I'm just using an adapter, but, you can do that.
@@RiaanKeyser thanks for the reply, which year is this charger and where it is made?
@@matanvaknin2036 2018 and USA and still works perfectly.
The fuse on my DCB115 also blew, does anyone know where I can find this 4A250V radial fuse?
Hi, this is awesome! I am need to convert my DCB1106 - It pumps 6A. Can I make use of the same goods?
Unfortunately I'm not familiar woth the DCB1106, so I won't be the best to advise.
@@RiaanKeyser all is good thank you - found a solution 👍🏽👌🏾
Why putting resistors in parallel with shortcuts? It basically does nothing, it makes no sense
Also, what about the 250v T4AL fuse at the very beginning? Isn't that gonna burn / ruin on 311v peaks?
Hello, did you try to make the modification without using the resistors, how did it go?
Where did you get the components? I need to do exactly the same surgery on 2 Dewalt chargers.
Ted Boezaart Try Mantech . Co. Za they have online site for high voltage capacitor and ceramic resistors.
BC Electronics
Kogan has a sweet little step-down transformer with twin 110v outlets for $20 AUD.
thanks your video and try it last week but no light on so i don't know what happen and didn't changed another components. (exchange 1 cap and two resistor only according your information)
Make sure the battery is pushed in all the way.
@@RiaanKeyser Yes, I also changed it just like the video and it turns out that when I plug it in the light doesn't turn on, I even used new batteries and nothing doesn't charge. But the strange thing is that when I disconnect the charger from the power with the battery connected, immediately the charger starts flashing. Any solution to this?
Does this modification allow charger to work on 50Hz instead of 60Hz ?
Did you get an answer? I assume it must work if South Africa is 50hz
So today I did the convertion on my charger and it works,but the light for fully charged is not working. the battery get's charged but when fully the light is blinking one short and one abit longer blinking. but it's get the job done I suppose.
Hello Friend. How many AH does the battery charge, how long does it take?
thanks for the video, im unable to find the 0.33ohm resister, can i use 0.22ohm ones?
I'm not 100% sure. Sorry.
can you make any dewalt charger to work like DCB119 vehicle charger?
this info needs to be shared!
What’s the difference between DCB112 and DCB115?? Will this procedure work on DCB112 as well? Thanks guys
The difference is 3 Hahahaha
Unfortunately I'm not familiar with the DCB112 so I won't be the best to advise. Sorry.

what the resistors are for ?
the resistor are used as voltage divider, Vout= Vs X R2 / (R1+R2)
Vs =voltage source
Vout = output voltage
R1 R2 the resistor he's using its 0.33 Ohms 220X0.33 = 72.6 , 0.33+0.33= 0.66 Ohms
72.6 / 0.66=110 Volts
I did what you did on this video and my charger seems to heat up a little bit more than usual. Is this normal or did I do something wrong?
Hello, sorry but could you tell me if the charger lasted until today or how long it was?
Can i useing this component ceramic resistor value 5v/0.22ohm or 0.33ohm what is the best way tell me
Can you make a same video for Black&Decker inflator BDINF20C? I want to convert it from 110V to 220v but dont know how.
Hello,
Since the video is now some month old, is it still working and did you checked the voltage on the battery connector pins ? The led can come out and blink .. but the voltage can be wrong. Cause i can't see how a capacitor swap can solve that 110V difference.
I read an explanation in the comments of another video. It was said that the circuit for this charger is designed for 85 volts up to 250 or so, which means that for just a few pennies, dewalt could have made all of them multivoltage. but I don't know yet how he picked the values for the resistors or knew that they belonged there and as far as I know resistors do not have polarity.
Still working 100%
Does the quality of the capacitor important. There are capacitors from $1 to > $15
Hey Riaan, is the charger originally is a 'fast charger' ? how long it should take to charge a battery ?
what is the affect before and after converting the charger in "charging time" ?
last but not least,
should the LED change to green when it done ? other indication ?
Resistors are not polar. You can put either lead in either hole.
thank you. it's work!
Yippy ;-)
Hi Riaan, I have a Bosch WC18C charger I got in the States and have the same problem (in SA) - do you have any info on converting this?
Sorry Andrew, would need to see the charger.
I want to do the opposite with a different brand charger. But I am not sure what needs to be swapped if only the capacitor or anything else.
well mate you are lucky the capacitor didn't blow up on you, never connect 120 Volts equipment to 220 , especially switch mode power supplies they will cause damage.
the capacitor was rated for 200V max and you used on a 230 VAC above the cap range , not safe
there is not polarity for the resistors , what you basically did was a voltage divider Vout= Vs X R2 / (R1+R2) , you replaced 2 jumpers with 0.33 ohms resistor per the above formula
220X0.33 = 72.6 , 0.33+0.33= 0.66 Ohms
72.6 / 0.66=110 Volts
Would the voltage divider be considered safe in this set up?
@@ivanbg5167 it is safe i have mine rigged that way too, just make sure the Cap is above the voltage rated .
I recently purchase "Dewalt DCB115 230v @ 50 hertz" battery charger in UAE by mistake.
And I am using this in Philippines which is using 60 hertz not 50 hertz.
My question is, is it ok to use it in Philippines?
I am ready to switch with u with my 110v charger bought it from USA if you want
Riaan does your charger still work and batteries are still ok? Looking in doing the exact same thing.
It still works 100%
Worked for me in Thailand thank you so much!
You're more than welcome. ;-)
hi
you can tell me how to change Ridgid charger R840095 to 220v
or anyone have AEG same charger which is 220v ?
Hello unfortunately I'm not familiar with that charger. Sorry.
thanks, gonna try this. I got alot of smoke when I plugged it in.
Good Luck.
Did it work? Mine had the same problem it was DCb112... any additional tips would be appreciate. Thanks content creator!
@@alaalkukhun9435 yeah it did
@@ShardZA did it overheat too? like some here experienced? any modifications other than what was shown in the video? how are the batteries charged so far, no effect on their performance? anything pertinent you can share since I can see it has been two years for you. thanks a lot in advance... and cheers! keep safe
@@aljoannesdelmindo1582 I must admit I don't use it often, only when I'm doing enough to run 2 batteries down at the same time, because I already had a 220V one I bought locally, so I only use this one for overflow. But I've not encountered overheating and seems to charge batteries to the same state as my original 220V purely based on runtime, I've not actually measured the specific charge with a voltmeter.
Para cuando el 1104, el cargador Dcb 1104 , podrias hacer un video con el dcb1104😢
hi everyone! i'm about to do the same. its been awhile since you guys converted your units... how does it fare now? still good? thanks!
Hello, sorry but could you tell me if the charger lasted until today or how long it was?
Hi Riaan can you help me? How i convert dewalt dcb095 to 22v, thanks.
Hi Were you able to find the way to convert the dcb095?
Hi Riaan, awesome video, dink jy dit sal presies dieselfde wees vir ander DeWalt chargers, soos bv vir die DCB118? Wonder maar net of die 50Hz 'n verskil gaan maak.
Dankie. Ek hoop die video help jou. Ek dink dit behoort te werk. Nee, die 50Hz behoort nie 'n verskul te maak nie... Maar ek kan nie verseker sê nie.
Sterke
@@RiaanKeyser Dankie Riaan, ek dink ook nie die 50Hz gaan 'n verskil maak nie, dit is net van pas op toestelle met elektriese motors die laaier het tog geen bewegende dele behalwe die cooling fan in die DCB118 wat dalk net nie so sterk gaan blaas nie.
What is the voltage that should be in the port after the change?
Hi, can I use larger values for resistor?
Do I need to change the Diode bridge as well?
No.
Thank you it's Wooork!!!!
You're more than welcome.
Can I replace 5w 0.47 ohms?
THat was great thanks!
You're more than welcome.
Anybody knows if it can be done on the 4 ports charger dcb 104 ?It was launched in US two years ago and still cannot be found in Europe.
There are many for sale on Ebay,but they're for 110V.
Thanks.
Sorry. Not to familiar with the DCB104
ruclips.net/video/-1KYOFFdZe0/видео.html
your charger DCB115 have humming sound (noise)?
No
It can be used for 110v as well ? Or needed to be modified again...
No. Would need to be modified again.
@@RiaanKeyser thank u
@@lucjyjames98 You're more than welcome.
It works
Works great, Thanks
I think you have mistaken to say that the white line in capacitor is positive. It is not positive. Also the 5watts resistor. There are no polarity on that resistor. Just to correct the misleading information.
The Positive side usually has a stripe with the - on it the pin is also longer.
Is there any problem if I use 5w 0.27 ohm
I'm not 100% sure... Sorry.
Hi Riaan, just subscribed, How can I convert a battery charger of Input 110 volts out put 24 volts 25Amps to 220-240 Volts Input, 24Volts output, 15Amps, charger is Copper coil type.
god job !
Thank you.
Hello, does it still work? because soon I will make the modification
Mine is still going strong.
@@RiaanKeyser Hi Riaan, first off, thanks a lot for sharing. will do your modifications once replacements are at hand. just wanna ask if the modified charger has effect on the life of the battery, charging time, and if it overheated during single or consecutive charging? thanks again, more power to you and keep safe...
Why not just use step down transformer converter when charging battery? Is there any issue with using step down transformer?
An additional device makes simple things more complicated ;)
U mean step up... Because u want to go 110v to 220v ac. With the power rating this will cost a packet... Just follow the instructions provided... It's cheapest and less clutter on your desk.
Total cost = R22.50 (±$2) instead of R1 200(±$100) and remember I blew the capacitor when I plugged it in the over powered wall unit.
i have a DCB 112 version would you know if it will work the same?
Not 100% sure. Sorry.
Replace only capacitor 100 uf 200v by capacitor 68 uf 450 v it's working nice
Can I use 5w 0.22 or 0.5 instead of the 0.33?
good .
Send the part number for resistance
Capacitor 450v 100u
It is good?
Did it worked for you?
Hi thank you for the guide my charger stop his charging when my 2 5ah batteries have 2 light on and not 3 and sometimes before
Might be a faulty battery.
I UNDESTAND THAT IT AN OLD CHARGER,,,,,,,BUT MINE HAS BLOWN THE OSCILATOR CHIP OM THE HIGH SIDE.......CAN YOU GIVE THE NUMBRE? MINE SAYS R695....... BUT ONE DIAGRAM I HVE FOUND SAY THAT ITS THE HP3D6.......CAN YOU GIVE ME TYHE NUMBERS ON YOURS

Hello, why didn't you put a 400v220uf? Why 400v100?
בגלל החום?
מישהוא אמר שהוא שם uf220 עובד לו טוב ומהר.
אני לא מבין בזה בכלל אבל מהתגובות הבנתי.
אולי לא הבנתי נכון
@@avitanmishel ועדיין עובד לך ?
400v100uf wasn't available. 400v220uf would work perfectly.
אצלי ממש התחמם החלק האחורי והמיס את הפלסטיק, יש לכם מושג למה?
במטען שלי לא היה עיגול סביב המקצרים שהוחלפו בנגדים. האם יש משמעות לקוטביות (ככל שידוע לי - לא). בכל אופן חיברתי הכל כמו שצריך ונורית הטעינה לא דולקת. מישהו יכול לעזור בעניין.

hi in the dcb112 where to put the Resistors?
Sorry, would need to see the charger.
