Hi, I congratulate you on the splendid restoration work! I am an electronic engineer and I have the answer to the question you asked yourself at the end of the video: NiCd batteries have a nominal voltage of 1.2V and when fully charged they reach up to 1.3V. The old battery pack contained 12, which corresponds to a nominal battery voltage of 14.4V and a maximum of 15.6V at full charge. Instead the new battery is composed of 4 NMC lithium cells which have a nominal voltage of 3.7V but when fully charged they reach up to 4.2V and overall correspond to 16.8V at full charge. The charger of the old battery is built to charge up to a voltage of 15.6V so if you use it to charge the new lithium cells you will not damage them at all, but rather you will always charge them up to about 80% and it is an optimal condition for the life of lithium batteries. Obviously you will not exploit their potential to the maximum but if this is enough for you, this is fine! Hope I've been of help, congratulations again!
Dear Marco Zeni Master, I have dyson V6 when the battery pack is full it shows 24,6 v and when i used it is empty it shows 1V .and i have been using that battery pack for the last 5 years. Does it mean battery life is finished. By the way when it was new running time was 15 mn ,now it is 8 mn. Thanks in advance
So it is safe to charge these homemade battery backs with the original NiCd charger? The BMS can handle that? Can you safely keep the battery in the charger for days?
I made similar modification, but the drill was a older blue model, 9.6V, I removed all the electronics inside the charger leaving only the transformer, the idea was using a simple constant current/constant voltage regulator, I had only issues with the voltage, after rectify was 16 and more volts, noto suitable for my application, I had to use a single wave rectifier to give less to the regulator, everything went fine, and my old bosch is still alive and kicking, I bought it when I graduated from school in 1984 ;) I used very nice and powerful Sony VTC-5.
Thanks to you i rebuild the batterries from my old Bosch PSR12 with lithium 18650 and now it works perfectly! Thank you very much one more for your videos my friend!
I did exactly the same thing with an old Ryobi 12 volt drill. The NiCad batteries never really held a charge, so I put 3 lithiums in each, and I can use the drill for days before switching batteries. New life for an old drill, and a 3S BMS is a lot cheaper than a new drill. (I had perfectly good cells in a few old laptops that I took apart for parts.)
Dear Mr"Gear Show" . I can assure you, that Ni-MH charger can't be used with Li-Po cells. Spend 3$ and buy DC/DC step down module with voltage and current control. Take down charging unit from charger, and put new module after diode bridge (put into module appx 18V DC). Output contacts mount straight to charger output. And job is done. If you will use NI-MH charger it will destroy Your cells. You should read about Charging VAC (Volt-Amper Characteristics) of Nicel and Lithium battery cells. Forgive me saying, but I'm an electronics and telecommunication engineer. I know what I'm saying. Best regards.
@@E-hab He is using the correct BMS (4S 40A). Which is designed for, as the name suggests, a 4 cells in series. 40A is the maximum continuous discharge current and 20A is the maximum continuous charging current. Those numbers assume very good cooling so they're to be considered an upper limit. One thing to note about the connections (soldering) is that the inner connections between the 4 cells and the BMS don't need to be heavy gauge. They won't be carrying any serious current as they're for sensing. As far as i can see and keep in mind that i am a bit old. That's an AL 60 DV Bosch charger for the 14.4v Ni-Cd battery. The old battery got 12 cells each with 1.2v nominal to make the total of 14.4v. The charger output voltage is around 15.83v which was just fine for the old Ni-Cd at 1.32v per cell but a bit low for the 18650. The new 18650s can take up to 4.2v per cell or 16.8 for the battery as he says at 17:12 in the video. Long story short, the charger output is a bit lower than what the BMS can work with if you want 4.2v per cell. I think that BMS needs something like 18.1v input to be able to charge the new cells fully. So you can either gut the charger, keep the shell and the contacts and install a small 18v SMPS board inside which is kind of a crappy solution because it won't supply the current for fast charging. Or you can hack whatever board Bosch put in there to get the 18 volts you need. Some of those charger revisions work with PICs, Max232s or the TL494.
I did exactly this modification over a year ago using a similar chinese BMS and charging on the original Bosch nicad charger. I have had no issues whatsoever other than the BMS overcurrent cuts in if you pull the trigger too fast initially.
@@cedley1969 Looks like you have a weak cells. When you pull the trigger to fast voltage goes down and BMS shuts down power. Use a capacitor 16-25V 10.000mF connected on BMS output contacts.

I really liked yr vid a lot, since I have been revamping that old stuff myself recently - all into 18650 LiIons.This transformation is at the cost of the device to charge this battery pack, however, which needs to be either a balanced charger (then you would have to provide leads to a balancer) or a fully regulated (laboratory) power supply. I have both, so I do not bother, but be warned that your former battery charger goes directly into trash, unfortunately as BMSes come in two flavours, so beware!. Hope you'll be happy with the retrofit, anyway, as I am!
No problem charging the 4s li-ion cells with the old ni-mh charger. Max current from the charger i ok, the cells balancing will be done by the BMS, as overdischarge protection. You will only charge the new battery up to 15.6, that is 3.9 volt per cell, so almost 70% of the full capacity. It's not bad at all, and the battery will last many cycle this way. Good job!
@@Kungfupanda839 Check the output voltage of the charger. If it's not over the fully charged voltage of the battery pack you want to charge and you have a bms, it should be safe, as long as the max charge current is within the li-ion cell charge specs.
i used 4 cells and a 15amp bridge rectifier with 2x 5amp shottky diodes inline between + and - on the bridge rec, so in through any AC terminal ,+,-,+,-,+,-, and out through the other AC terminal, (draw it out to understand) put this inline with the 4 cells via the AC terminals, the forward voltage drop on 4 diodes going both in and out of the lithiums allowed me to use the makita charger as the voltage is too high otherwise, it only stops charging if I used used 2 shottky diodes in the middle of the bridge, all parts were salvaged from old PC psu's. Bridge was D15XB 60 on a heatsink and various shottky diodes worked, SB540, SB5150, 31D0046B. Keep the temperature sensor and thermal cutout in the battery housing. Was this just luck as im damned if i can explain the science why this tricks the charger into stopping the charge before it got above max of 4 x 4.2v ie.16.8v,. Dont flame me bro, i didnt even use any BMS module, i was desperate with 3 dead makita 9.6v drills that i couldn't buy the original batteries for in HK anymore. I dont charge lithiums indoors, i never let them go flat. With terminals to the outside of the case i can monitor its charging state staying within their 3v to 4.2v safe operation window.
Çok iyi bir çalışma ve sürükleyici bir Video... PSR 14.4 BOSH matkabım İyi bir restorasyon ile hayata döndü. Paylaşımlarınız için Teşekkürler. Türkiye'den selamlar...
Good job! With regards to the battery, the NiCd/NiMH charger will definitely be not good for the LiIon cells, they require a totally different voltage/amps while charging. You can get PCBs which are capable of not only distributing the load on the cells while discharging, but also aid in the charging as well. That way you only have to supply an approximate voltage to the whole battery and the PCB does its job, charging the cells separately and evenly. That is what I used when rebuilding an old cordless drill with LiIon cells.

These are my MOST favorite videos, I just love when someone restores something that is destined for the scrapper to fully working order! Also I love when you clean up the things SO much that they're identical to brand new I do have a few salvaged cells from laptops... Maybe I'll try this?
Lithium batteries have a different charge method than NiCad or NiMh batteries. Also you have a BMS built into the charger that is set up to charge/monitor NiCad while also having a BMS in the battery for the LiPO Batts. A converted LiPO charger that plugs into the B6 works wonders. I've done this with all my old Makita cordless tools
People should understand the difference between 'live longer' and 'last longer'. The first means longer lifetime, more charging and discharging cycles. The latter means 'one charge life', so, how long you can use the drill until battery needs recharging. I would agree that charging battery to less than 100 per cent could make it live longer. But I think discharging to 0% kills the battery even harder.
It is a pity that the currently produced NI-CD cells have such poor durability, 30 years was completely different. Currently, Ni-Cd is expensive and very unstable, and Li-ion is cheap and durable. Things were reversed. Previously, Bosch had an AL15FC charger that charged the battery in about 12-15 minutes, and had about 1000-2000 work cycles (for AL12FC - 3000 cycles). Currently, Bosch has been making chargers 60 minutes of charging and about 300 duty cycles, like other manufacturers. Interestingly, the scientific possibilities have retreated, for years the producers of ni-cd and ni-mh have not been able to construct a cell that can withstand charging with the AL15FC charger with a current of 8.5-10 A. This charger has not been used for several years due to the lack of quality cells from the 90s '. Great job :-) Regards :-).
Nice. I hadn't thought of putting the cells in L shape. I refurbished my METABO (12V, NiCd) in a similar way, you can fit 2 packs of 4 18650 cells in a 2x2 setup in there (as 4s2p). But you definitely have to sharpen your drill bits :-)
Great video, I have the older 12volt version of that as well the blue 12volt pistol drill, the batteries still take a charge if you want to use them but lose charge in storage, i have just broken a 48v 18650 battery into bits. I have the battery welder and all the nickel strip. I also need 18v and 24 v batteries. I guess it’s time to have ago, maybe in the garden to start with. Need to get some BMS’s first.
Very good video, and really well filmed. It's really recommended to charge lithium batterie with a specific Lithium charger. Your NICD charger did not overcharge the pack and it's a chance, it could waste your pack. But as you have an Imax (not expensive and very useful), so connect every balance wire from + pole of each accu to the BMS (you didn't do it) and simply use the Imax, it's much safer . But it was a good experience. Well, some nicd chargers give easily 18/20V and it would be a pity for the pack, so for each one, control absolutely the voltage of the charger before use. Hi from France!
One other issue to use Ni-Cd charger for lithium battery is that you have no trickle charge at the end to balance the cells correctly. Your charger gives max 15,6V, but you must reach16,8V : after that a (good) BMS stops constant current for constant voltage and balances the cells with the trickle charge. With 15,6V max this operation cannot be done , and after several charges you can get an unbalanced pack, in particular if you build this pack with "recuperated" cells. (NO laptop cells for a drill pack!! Discharge amps too low!) A good lithium charger (like Imax B6) realises the trickle charge perfectly and protects the pack during charge and balance, even if these cheap BMS are faulty, and it's often possible. I always add a balance connector to the pack , also connected to the Imax (necessary for the trickle charge), and so I know exactly the voltage of each cell and balance quality on the screen of the Imax. It's an important condition for a long life of the pack. And I know immediately if one cell begins to be faulty to change it....A lot of packs have only one dead cell (in this case the battery does not run anymore)
At about 12:40 You can see a resistor at the connector which is used to set the charging-Voltage ( It is connected to the + connection of the battery and one of the Control-Pins on the battery-connector. The other Control-Pin is used to measure the temperature ) You may change its value to set the correct charging-Voltage.
Hallo Juergen, eine Frage aus Holland: ich suche jemanden der bekannt ist mit die bms Platine von eine Bosch psr 14,4 Li machine. Kannste du mir weiter helfen? Gr. Jan
I did the same before i watched this video but 3S 2P with 20Amp. BMS in my old 12v Bosch drill machine, what resistor value can i use Sir Juergen Schimmer?.
Estimado Sr. "Gear Show" Excelente trabajo!!!... Me parece que se debe hacer modificaciones en el cargador, porque el mismo está diseñado para cargar celdas Nicd/Nimh y no celdas de Lithium!!!... Gracias por tus videos y aportes a la sociedad, al difundirlos!!!... Sigue así!!!
@Yonnata pero parece que el cargador no lo modifica, yo creo que carga Con el cargador antiguo, porque deja en los conectores los diodos o resistencias puestos.
Man i just did this thing to the same drill model, same bms type and cell number, i wasn't sure if i can use the same charger until i saw this video, thank you very much for this ! I had subscribed!
Ya lo hice todo perfecto. Gracias a tu ayuda. Se puede utilizar el mismo cargador? Me dio la impresión que cargaba lento. Lo voy a utilizar al taladro para acabar la batería y así probar cuánto tarda en cargar
@@chimpora0623 no del todo bien. Me falta el tema de la carga. Utilice el mismo cargador pero no llega a completar la carga y el taladro se la consume rápido
Po naładowaniu oryginalną ładowarką przed pomiarem trzeba pobudzić BMS czyli na chwilę obciążyć (raz wcisnąć włącznik) i zmierzyć napięcie. Oryginalna ładowarka daje radę. Filmik jak najbardziej OK W modelu na 12V można zastosować 6 ogniw. Mam tak przerobioną i jestem bardzo zadowolony.
I love RUclips, there's a lot of smart people in this world and most of the time they can put their brains together and do great things. Careful though 'cause there's a lot of bullshit too.

If the power charge amperage is compatible (ex,1.5 Ah) with the batteries its OK,otherwise you have to change(adopt) the transformer inside the charger like I did to same look like Bosch drill 7.2 volts, and worked very well..👍
Hi Kaziomiesz xd yeah that sounds exactly right. I have done this Li Ion rebuild on my Bosch 9.6V drill using very similar BMS and method to gear show in this vid. It's clear to me this is the right BMS. As well as high 40A, other ones have different input and output terminals. That means that you would not be able to use the original charger - if you tried to you would have the charging current going to the wrong BMS terminals. I opened up my old charger, there is a lot of control circuitry. To my surprise when I plugged it in, I measured 19V across the output terminals (it's a typ 2 607224006 sec 7.2-12V, 1.3A/15.3VA). One thing that hasn't been mentioned is that a temperature sensor is standard on thse old NiCd batteries with a 3rd connection on the battery to connect to the charger. I made a point of keeping that connected in my rebuild with the intent of trying the old charger. However if I rip out all the old circuitry that all becomes irrelevant. Can you suggest suitable rectifier and CCCV (buck/boost?) for doing this?
Hello,Nice Work!. From my Experiance,i think because you have the BMS board it doesnt mater at all. It will take any settings of voltage and amperes for Nicd batteries and convert them just right for the 18650...i do that all the time. if charger wont work you always can add a back boost converter inside and fix the apropreate voltage and ampers. good job!
Hello. The BMS from the video while charging is monitoring only thr voltage of each cell. Unfortunately it is not monitoring the charging current. So it is needed a correct CC-CV charger for this setup.
Hello,the charging curent of the BMS board has a wide range of Voltage and Amperes so you dont need to worry at all.Look at the specifications of your BMS board.
That's OK charging a LiIon battery not Full helps it lifetime, best value would be about 85%. The charging itself is protect by the BMS so you can't overcharge or overdischarge the battery.
Not really. If some cells are dead or have very low voltage, then you will overcharge others, because the total voltage is still low. That's why balance cables and sometimes fully charging is important. Overcharged lithium batteries can combust or explode like fireworks! If one is lit, it's a chain reaction with all the others. Also I would use spacers instead of just letting the cells touch. For parallel groups this isn't a problem, but when the wrapping around the cell rips, for example when the drill falls or gets vibration, then you get a short! Lithium cells are amazing because of their energy density, but at the same time dangerous when not used right.
Tjorven Van Hoeyveld he is using a BMS with balanced, and charging up to 80% is best for LiIon, of course in the case one cell is defective it could happen that you reverse charge. If you use an external charger with individual cell protection it’s the only way to detect this.
Heyyy Dear u r perfect Man. I wanna say something about NiCd battery charger. Yes it is possible but u can charge with it Just 10 15 times. U can arrange New adapter 16.8 V or 19.6(laptop battery charger with step down or without step down). NiCd charger kills ur batteries. I like ur videos and follow u 👏👍😊. This is my experience. 😉 U r better than me. Maybe U know 1 miilion things. I know 10 things. Sincerely. 👍
You can use a dji phantom 3 or 4 battery charger (17.4V) to charge the new litium battery, the bms will cut the charge at 16.8V, or a laptop charger rated 17.4V (could be a 19.5v modified), remove the electronics from inside the charger and put them inside de old nicad charger case
The white element at the end of two black wires is a thermistor. Please place this element as close to the battery cells as possible. It is used to measure temperature during charging. If the cells are damaged, overheating will occur, then the charger will stop charging and may save you from fire.
Charging a Lipo cell bellow its top capacity (voltage) will increase its life span (by a lot actually): the lipo cell will take much more cycles of charge/discharge
@@gear_show not really, he say and i confirm that it will have more life cycles, because you not fully charging. The battery will be killed because you did not connect balance leads
Yes, charging below full charge will give the cells more lifespan. However, you need each cells to 4.2V (16.8V in 4s) because the balancing function of the BMS starts at 4.15 above. Therefore you need to periodically charge the pack to 100% if you intend to maintain all cells balanced in the long run

What country are you from? You are an impeccable professional in all your work ... Greetings from Venezuela. How has the batteries been carried with the NiCd charger? I have a Dewalt 18V drill that I have the project to repair the battery by Lithium Ion and I wanted to know if I could charge them with the original charger.
I'm from Cambodia. Thank you so much! I used to rebuild 18V lithium battery and charge them with original battery charger. The original charger destroyed my new battery pack. The lithium charger is good choice.
Good job. I have just done a very similar rebuild on my old Bosch 9.6v batteries. One thing I did that you didn't is incorporate a LED charge indicator. I also set it up so I can optionally charge using spec for the 3S bms 12V DC input via the BMS (5.5mm jack), or with my Imax B6 (direct connection to the cells via Dean connector + JST balance connector). See also my reply below to Kaziomiesz
@@marahutti7465 I have come to the conclusion that the simplest way to go is to pick up a cheap (~ 5 bucks/pounds or so) Li On charger rated for 3S = 12.6v, these normally come with a 5.5mm jack plug. I did try an original charger for a 14.4v drill, (4S rebuild), its spec output V was nominally ok at 17.5V (BMS spec 16.8-18V), but it wouldn't charge the rebuilt battery, green LED came on but not red charging led. Maybe blocked by the bms actually now I think about it, when I measure the output V acros the charger terminals without load it was about 18.5v. Using a Li IOn dedicated charger avoids issues over the differences between charging Ni Cad and charging Li IOn, as per other comments here...
Maybe you can open up the charger and see if you can change the output voltage to get more voltage out of it. I am sure the circuit can be tweaked to get more output and that will charge the new cells higher and give you more run time. I am pretty sure it is a switching mode charger. Just an idea...
I have a similar 12V drill. What Amp battery whoul you recomend? I cant buy god one in my country so i’m trying to find what is the minimum for drill to work. Beside i enjoy whatching your videos. Great job!
Good conversion！I believe this type of BMS module only monitor the discharging voltage of the battery pack. When the pack is charged with Ni-mh charger, the end-of-charge pack voltage is determined by the charger which is why only 15.83v compared to imax b6's 16.8v. 15.83v definitely not an ideal fully-charged 4s li-ion pack .

Great.. I'm going to do the same thing with some older cordless drills...
I really liked yr vid a lot, since I have been revamping that old stuff myself recently - all into 18650 LiIons.This transformation is at the cost of the device to charge this battery pack, however, which needs to be either a balanced charger (then you would have to provide leads to a balancer) or a fully regulated (laboratory) power supply. I have both, so I do not bother, but be warned that your former battery charger goes directly into trash, unfortunately as BMSes come in two flavours, so beware!. Hope you'll be happy with the retrofit, anyway, as I am!
No problem charging the 4s li-ion cells with the old ni-mh charger. Max current from the charger i ok, the cells balancing will be done by the BMS, as overdischarge protection. You will only charge the new battery up to 15.6, that is 3.9 volt per cell, so almost 70% of the full capacity. It's not bad at all, and the battery will last many cycle this way. Good job!
Thank you for sharing!
Is it advisable to charge li-ion using old ni-cad charger rated 12-14v with 1.5A?
@@Kungfupanda839 Check the output voltage of the charger. If it's not over the fully charged voltage of the battery pack you want to charge and you have a bms, it should be safe, as long as the max charge current is within the li-ion cell charge specs.
i used 4 cells and a 15amp bridge rectifier with 2x 5amp shottky diodes inline between + and - on the bridge rec, so in through any AC terminal ,+,-,+,-,+,-, and out through the other AC terminal, (draw it out to understand) put this inline with the 4 cells via the AC terminals, the forward voltage drop on 4 diodes going both in and out of the lithiums allowed me to use the makita charger as the voltage is too high otherwise, it only stops charging if I used used 2 shottky diodes in the middle of the bridge, all parts were salvaged from old PC psu's.
Bridge was D15XB 60 on a heatsink and various shottky diodes worked, SB540, SB5150, 31D0046B.
Keep the temperature sensor and thermal cutout in the battery housing.
Was this just luck as im damned if i can explain the science why this tricks the charger into stopping the charge before it got above max of 4 x 4.2v ie.16.8v,.
Dont flame me bro, i didnt even use any BMS module, i was desperate with 3 dead makita 9.6v drills that i couldn't buy the original batteries for in HK anymore.
I dont charge lithiums indoors, i never let them go flat.
With terminals to the outside of the case i can monitor its charging state staying within their 3v to 4.2v safe operation window.
This video gave me some good ideas. Thank you.

Good job! With regards to the battery, the NiCd/NiMH charger will definitely be not good for the LiIon cells, they require a totally different voltage/amps while charging.
You can get PCBs which are capable of not only distributing the load on the cells while discharging, but also aid in the charging as well. That way you only have to supply an approximate voltage to the whole battery and the PCB does its job, charging the cells separately and evenly. That is what I used when rebuilding an old cordless drill with LiIon cells.
I appreciate you sharing your experience with me. I have learned a new thing.
Can you share a link to the PCBs you're talking about? Please.

Thank you so much :)
Jg
These are my MOST favorite videos, I just love when someone restores something that is destined for the scrapper to fully working order!
Also I love when you clean up the things SO much that they're identical to brand new
I do have a few salvaged cells from laptops...
Maybe I'll try this?
For anyone wanting an amazing tool I would highly recommend GenScrew's electric screwdriver kit. It is an actual godsend: genscrew.com/kit
dont use laptop cells most tools require special high drain 18650s.
you need at least 10A drain 18650 for these maybe even more differs with the tool you using.
Lithium batteries have a different charge method than NiCad or NiMh batteries. Also you have a BMS built into the charger that is set up to charge/monitor NiCad while also having a BMS in the battery for the LiPO Batts. A converted LiPO charger that plugs into the B6 works wonders. I've done this with all my old Makita cordless tools
From what I understand this charger,set up for NiCad will never fully charge the lithium cells,that have a higher maximum voltage,right?
could you explain more plz ?
Charged with nicd charger 80%, thats nice for the cells👍👍 they live a lot longer this way
Oh, really! I am glad to hear that. But I saw many comments in this video I need to make a modification on this charger.
People should understand the difference between 'live longer' and 'last longer'. The first means longer lifetime, more charging and discharging cycles. The latter means 'one charge life', so, how long you can use the drill until battery needs recharging.
I would agree that charging battery to less than 100 per cent could make it live longer. But I think discharging to 0% kills the battery even harder.
These videos are very encouraging no need to throw things away that are easily repairable 👍
It is a pity that the currently produced NI-CD cells have such poor durability, 30 years was completely different. Currently, Ni-Cd is expensive and very unstable, and Li-ion is cheap and durable. Things were reversed. Previously, Bosch had an AL15FC charger that charged the battery in about 12-15 minutes, and had about 1000-2000 work cycles (for AL12FC - 3000 cycles). Currently, Bosch has been making chargers 60 minutes of charging and about 300 duty cycles, like other manufacturers. Interestingly, the scientific possibilities have retreated, for years the producers of ni-cd and ni-mh have not been able to construct a cell that can withstand charging with the AL15FC charger with a current of 8.5-10 A. This charger has not been used for several years due to the lack of quality cells from the 90s '. Great job :-) Regards :-).
Nice. I hadn't thought of putting the cells in L shape. I refurbished my METABO (12V, NiCd) in a similar way, you can fit 2 packs of 4 18650 cells in a 2x2 setup in there (as 4s2p).
But you definitely have to sharpen your drill bits :-)
Yes it is, I drill it touched the screws inside the wooden. Anyway thank you for sharing.
Excellent! Completely clear instructions. Exactly what I need to do for my Bosch PSR - thank you!
I'm glad it helped!
Great video, I have the older 12volt version of that as well the blue 12volt pistol drill, the batteries still take a charge if you want to use them but lose charge in storage, i have just broken a 48v 18650 battery into bits. I have the battery welder and all the nickel strip. I also need 18v and 24 v batteries. I guess it’s time to have ago, maybe in the garden to start with. Need to get some BMS’s first.
Very good video, and really well filmed.
It's really recommended to charge lithium batterie with a specific Lithium charger. Your NICD charger did not overcharge the pack and it's a chance, it could waste your pack. But as you have an Imax (not expensive and very useful), so connect every balance wire from + pole of each accu to the BMS (you didn't do it) and simply use the Imax, it's much safer .
But it was a good experience. Well, some nicd chargers give easily 18/20V and it would be a pity for the pack, so for each one, control absolutely the voltage of the charger before use. Hi from France!
One other issue to use Ni-Cd charger for lithium battery is that you have no trickle charge at the end to balance the cells correctly. Your charger gives max 15,6V, but you must reach16,8V : after that a (good) BMS stops constant current for constant voltage and balances the cells with the trickle charge. With 15,6V max this operation cannot be done , and after several charges you can get an unbalanced pack, in particular if you build this pack with "recuperated" cells. (NO laptop cells for a drill pack!! Discharge amps too low!)
A good lithium charger (like Imax B6) realises the trickle charge perfectly and protects the pack during charge and balance, even if these cheap BMS are faulty, and it's often possible.
I always add a balance connector to the pack , also connected to the Imax (necessary for the trickle charge), and so I know exactly the voltage of each cell and balance quality on the screen of the Imax. It's an important condition for a long life of the pack. And I know immediately if one cell begins to be faulty to change it....A lot of packs have only one dead cell (in this case the battery does not run anymore)
Nice ....Wow that old model but looks original..love Bosch
This is how we start saving the world!
And our wallet.......
Great job ! An old drill back to service !!
At about 12:40 You can see a resistor at the connector which is used to set the charging-Voltage ( It is connected to the + connection of the battery and one of the Control-Pins on the battery-connector. The other Control-Pin is used to measure the temperature ) You may change its value to set the correct charging-Voltage.

gear show make a video pls
Hi Kaziomiesz xd yeah that sounds exactly right. I have done this Li Ion rebuild on my Bosch 9.6V drill using very similar BMS and method to gear show in this vid. It's clear to me this is the right BMS. As well as high 40A, other ones have different input and output terminals. That means that you would not be able to use the original charger - if you tried to you would have the charging current going to the wrong BMS terminals.
I opened up my old charger, there is a lot of control circuitry. To my surprise when I plugged it in, I measured 19V across the output terminals (it's a typ 2 607224006 sec 7.2-12V, 1.3A/15.3VA). One thing that hasn't been mentioned is that a temperature sensor is standard on thse old NiCd batteries with a 3rd connection on the battery to connect to the charger. I made a point of keeping that connected in my rebuild with the intent of trying the old charger. However if I rip out all the old circuitry that all becomes irrelevant.
Can you suggest suitable rectifier and CCCV (buck/boost?) for doing this?
@@familybrown2283 can you send me photo of this to my mail janekkazimir2005@gmail.com or on fb "Janek Kazimir" from Poland?
Ktoś lubi staśka od wazzup
Hello,Nice Work!. From my Experiance,i think because you have the BMS board it doesnt mater at all. It will take any settings of voltage and amperes for Nicd batteries and convert them just right for the 18650...i do that all the time. if charger wont work you always can add a back boost converter inside and fix the apropreate voltage and ampers.
good job!
Hello. The BMS from the video while charging is monitoring only thr voltage of each cell. Unfortunately it is not monitoring the charging current. So it is needed a correct CC-CV charger for this setup.
Hello,the charging curent of the BMS board has a wide range of Voltage and Amperes so you dont need to worry at all.Look at the specifications of your BMS board.
@@bunsoft2 Hi, can you indicate a good charger unit? like a IMAX b6? or?
Its a restoration masterclass... so cool to watch. Thank you for sharing.
That's OK charging a LiIon battery not Full helps it lifetime, best value would be about 85%. The charging itself is protect by the BMS so you can't overcharge or overdischarge the battery.
Oh really, Thank for sharing!
Not really. If some cells are dead or have very low voltage, then you will overcharge others, because the total voltage is still low. That's why balance cables and sometimes fully charging is important. Overcharged lithium batteries can combust or explode like fireworks! If one is lit, it's a chain reaction with all the others. Also I would use spacers instead of just letting the cells touch. For parallel groups this isn't a problem, but when the wrapping around the cell rips, for example when the drill falls or gets vibration, then you get a short! Lithium cells are amazing because of their energy density, but at the same time dangerous when not used right.
Tjorven Van Hoeyveld he is using a BMS with balanced, and charging up to 80% is best for LiIon, of course in the case one cell is defective it could happen that you reverse charge. If you use an external charger with individual cell protection it’s the only way to detect this.

The white element at the end of two black wires is a thermistor. Please place this element as close to the battery cells as possible. It is used to measure temperature during charging. If the cells are damaged, overheating will occur, then the charger will stop charging and may save you from fire.

Charging a Lipo cell bellow its top capacity (voltage) will increase its life span (by a lot actually): the lipo cell will take much more cycles of charge/discharge
Okay, I understand it. So this way it reduce lipo cell life span. Anyway thank you so much!
@@gear_show not really, he say and i confirm that it will have more life cycles, because you not fully charging. The battery will be killed because you did not connect balance leads
@@michalhudek But he did hook up balance connections? He just did it with the nickel strips directly.
Yes, charging below full charge will give the cells more lifespan. However, you need each cells to 4.2V (16.8V in 4s) because the balancing function of the BMS starts at 4.15 above. Therefore you need to periodically charge the pack to 100% if you intend to maintain all cells balanced in the long run

Good job. I have just done a very similar rebuild on my old Bosch 9.6v batteries. One thing I did that you didn't is incorporate a LED charge indicator. I also set it up so I can optionally charge using spec for the 3S bms 12V DC input via the BMS (5.5mm jack), or with my Imax B6 (direct connection to the cells via Dean connector + JST balance connector).
See also my reply below to Kaziomiesz
Which charger would you use to charge 3s bms 12V via 5.5mm jack?
@@marahutti7465 I have come to the conclusion that the simplest way to go is to pick up a cheap (~ 5 bucks/pounds or so) Li On charger rated for 3S = 12.6v, these normally come with a 5.5mm jack plug. I did try an original charger for a 14.4v drill, (4S rebuild), its spec output V was nominally ok at 17.5V (BMS spec 16.8-18V), but it wouldn't charge the rebuilt battery, green LED came on but not red charging led. Maybe blocked by the bms actually now I think about it, when I measure the output V acros the charger terminals without load it was about 18.5v.
Using a Li IOn dedicated charger avoids issues over the differences between charging Ni Cad and charging Li IOn, as per other comments here...

Maybe you can open up the charger and see if you can change the output voltage to get more voltage out of it.

Hello Friend! Yes, I think this question is popup in mind not only me.
Yes li-ion charger more than good than ni-cd charger.i d like your videos 👍
Good conversion！I believe this type of BMS module only monitor the discharging voltage of the battery pack. When the pack is charged with Ni-mh charger, the end-of-charge pack voltage is determined by the charger which is why only 15.83v compared to imax b6's 16.8v. 15.83v definitely not an ideal fully-charged 4s li-ion pack .
