My screws were plain. My circuit board is different.

I have the same battery and it works for about 10 minutes and then I have to charge it again for about an hour then it works for another 10 minutes

Thank you so much! Almost dropped $170 for a new one! Called Ryobi and my warranty just ran out.

only works if your battery has not been sitting to long and still has a charge

Great job! Worked just like you showed. Saved myself a bunch of $$$ with your help

I love it when my woman is involved with a typical man stuff, haters in the comments mad jealous. SUCKERS

Excellent cheap and easy fix. I will keep that in mind if and when one of my Ryobi batteries goes bad. Thanks.

She is rambling way too much.

What does the other hole say? Rst and...?

Great work overall explained. So many haters I think they work well together imo.

worked。thanks

Thanks for the video, just saved us $150!

Thanks! This saved me a bunch of time and money!!😁

Thank you... I worked for me

Why is this lady narrating? She doesn't know the name for anything.

yeah i hit the reset on mine and it did not work. The fault can be the board has failed and drained one cell below the safe limit to charge like 1.9 volts max limit to charge these cells with the board is 2.5 volts anything under that the battery will not charge thats when it take more drastic measures that is not for the average user to handle. Even after bringing the low voltage cell back up to the safe limit the problem will most likely happen again do to the malfunction of the board and after so many times of being pulled down below 2.8 volts per cell they loose capacity much more rapid. Its something like a lead acid battery being drained belore 10 volts to many time they dont last to long if that is done.

You guys saved me $180. thanks!

This lady is a life saver. My wife and I were ready to take the drastic step of buying new batteries, as we have a couple of them, until we saw her video. Thank you so much.

I reset. Battery keeps failing. Will n3ver be the same. Key is not torn it all they wat down

Thank you so damn much for this video!!!

Its a T10 Security Torx bit.

This certainly worked...but then after only a few minutes of using the battery with lawnmower it went right back to "defective."

This is great! I am not there yet as one corner of the battery does not have an exposed screw to remove, but is just a flat black piece. Has anyone else had this???

thanks this helped me !

Worked like a charm!! Thanks a bunch.

Thank you, this got my battery charging again and no longer flashing as “defective”.

$250 here in puerto rico

reset switch need to be outside

Let this man speak please,.we, we. He did all the work. Bro how do you do it.

She’s a keeper

My 10mm Torx screw doesn't have the little "tit" in the middle, but I've found that with a little effort you may be able to break these off enabling you to use a standard 10mm Torx. These are called tamper resistant Torx. Harbor Freight sells the whole set quite cheaply. Sadly, my board didn't have a reset place. Some of the later ones have an actual button. Thanks for the video!

Any suggestions for batteries that only have 3 screws?

You do realize that when you take the battery apart, you VOID the warranty.

This worked -- thank you!! Huge money saver!!!

$170 for a new battery……. Your fix worked. Took me all of 2 minutes to open and reset. Works 100%. Many thanks to you both.

Thanks to both of you for this. I appreciate the diligence and the explanation. I will only add that this works for Ryobi batteries 0P4401. The later batteries have a different set up and are not as straightforward as this one.

Thank you! I already had the T10 S bit and in 5 minutes my 3 month old defective battery was now charging again!

Hello, thank you very much for your tutorial which was a great help to me. Sebastien

in 2018+ batteries, there is no RST holes anymore...

Y’all so full of shit. I tried two batteries and nothing. Calling bullshit!!!!!!!

This worked! TR10 Torx bit. I used two earrings to depress reset at the same time.I had to hold it for several seconds, then the light turned green. Thank you, thank you!

Where do we get the Torque Bits?

THANK YOU 🙏 SO MUCH❤!

Works, thanks for the assist

Awesome Video 👍😃

these things now are 219.00 dollars a pop at home depot it was actually cheaper to buy a riobi weed eater with a 40v 4ah than the 40v 6ah battery yea its alil bit smaller but ihave a wead eater and a spare now

I had to reset my battery three times, and each time, they charge fully, but stop working in a few minutes.

is this his daughter ? I am stunned by the lack of knowledge and terminology from her that he then has to correct. It would be far more effective and safer to let him do the video.

He is doing all the work and she even doesn’t let him speak !!!! Such a patient man bless him !!!

Although this fix will work on some batteries, I've tried this on two ryobi batteries with the exact same flashing signal so far, and it this tactic did not work on either.
