A fully discharged battery cannot be charged properly. to revive the battery, the current requires a little more than a standard charger. then, when the watch turns on, you can charge it directly in the watch itself in the sun

I have a question for u, I have the same exact watch and my watch was completely dead. Battery sign came on as empty and the watch place is charging me $65 to get my watch going again. He said something about not having part in stock to get my watch going??? Would that part be the solar battery charger u just used???
In my video, the problem was that the watch was deprived of a light source for a long time, the battery was discharged .. your battery could have deteriorated. You can buy a battery on ebay.
CTLxxxx type of rechargeable batteries are a rare item and have a limited shelf life of may be a few months (to avoid damage and eventually destruction CTL type of batteries need to be checked for voltage being above 2.0V alternatively recharged every few/3 months). So probably your watch special kind of rechargeable battery was not on stock at that location. In my view it is nonsense to charge the battery by an external charger, but this video shows what is happening inside the watch when the solar cell charging circuit is working and has sufficient light.
if the battery is low, the backlight may not work. to charge the battery, the watch must be supplied with a light source and placed in the sun. or under a lamp. I hope I understood your question correctly, please contact me.
@@watch-repair hi, does tough solar work under artifical light? Or it has to be natural sun light? And I'm not sure where to find the charge level indicator. How long does it take to fully charge?
Im guessing you may not answer me as this was 7 months ago but i have a casio watch which is solar powered and needs a new battery, is it ok just to replace it with a new solar battery or is it more complicated than that?
I have the gorillaz collab G shock aka GW-B5600. I Hadn't used it in months due to the pandemic rising. It blinks CHG with no sunlight charge. Should I replace the battery like your video??
You won't be able to charge it, but you can revive it so that you can later charge it in the watch itself in the sun. briefly 3 volts, 1 minute. check with a multimeter if the battery has received a charge, if not, connect for a couple of minutes. as soon as the battery is slightly charged, 2.5-2.9 volts, return it to the clock. keep charging your watch in the sun. if the battery is ok, the watch will start working again and charge in the sun
@@watch-repair thanks friend, The battery is fine, but the inside glass of the watch is broken and does not charge, I wanted to charge it outside with a charger, and put it charged, it lasts a few months once charged, I can not charge it with a few volts?
you need to know how many volts are supplied from the solar panel to the battery, I don't know.

yoo does anyone know if a g shck solar batery whe n bought from store come charged !!?????? please cause jeweler charged me 20 bucsk and gave me watch dead !
I believe Panasonic CTLxxxx type of rechargeable batteries should never fall below a voltage of 2.0V. They are probably shipped ex factory with a charge of 30/50% to keep its voltage above 2.0V for many months. When the battery gets discharged during too long dark storage/without sufficient recharging below 2.0V the chemistry gets first slightly distorted (reduced life time/capacity). Then more strongly distorted the lower the voltage falls and eventually destroyed (may be when down to 1V), this means it keeps its charge for too low time to be used any more. This battery showed 1.7V after longer time of no use/charging, this means it got slightly distorted, can be recovered but may have lost 1 or 2 years of its life time.
Thanks for the video.
My watch was in the closed box for 4 years, then I placed them into direct sunlight for an hour, and they are on again.
Thaks👍
You serious?
the battery in mine is dead for many months,after couple of minutes in direct sunlight,it still charge..so it means my battery is still good,right?
thanks for the tutorial, i tried to charge my watch now in direct sunlight, now its cloudy, but it says "Charge" in blinking pattern.
