This tool saved us a lot of time getting over discharged batteries back to life. What is even better, that getting support for every question is easy and fast on their forums!
I ordered the device to test and calibrate my lot of about 500 batteries. I have received the device from China and it works as expected. I like the author's support, he responds very fast over Whatsapp. The author, Nicusor, created even a special software for me to avoid a calibration message. He promised a new feature soon... for free !! Thank you Sorin for showing the device... I didn't know that such a tool exists
HI Sorin & Nicosor the NLBA Inventor. I ordered the NBLA Analyzer just before the lockdown started. Nicosor contacted me and offered me a refund because of the wordwide lockdown. It arrived here in SA this week. After contactinh him and receiving Software password after a online msg. My old HP laptop battery is fully charged after weeks of battling with its charging. now I hav to learn how to use it on my older Dell bateries. I love the software.. Thank you very much Regards Paul ps Romenia is one of the top electronic produsing countries according to my SA friend working and living in Roemenia
This is best tool i ever have in my repair shop. Have around 200 untested batteries in my store i accumulate over time. Make it immidiately around 70 pieces to work, all been droped voltage and can not revive it on laptops. With this tool u can bring it to life. 70 good batteries to sell around 20€ piece there is multiple income and can get back invested money instantly.
We bought this tool ~1 month ago. Device are awesome i recovered many Lenovo 68, 68+ batteries any many other battery, few dell. Device is worth this money!
My batteries are ok (3.4V each) but no voltage output (maybe 00.1V), can this reset BMS? If not, how to do it? (I’ve seen vid about eeprom and cp2112), just not clear about it.
I have purchased this device and found that it is the best tool I have for diagnosing Laptop Batteries. It is great for testing Batteries that you buy of the net to see if they perform as they should.
The links mentioned in the video are the right links to buy this device. The person whose number mentioned on the website is very professional and supportive person. Machine is very useful if you know how to use it. The machine ACTUALLY does reach your address when you order it. We are initially hesitant to order but once we spoke to the person, all issues were sorted. 5/5 for service and and support. Thanks!
I am very grateful to Sorin for introducing this great product in his video tutorial. Immediately ordered and now I use it everyday. However, I also want to thank the product developer for helping me with its setup and the issues that have arisen. Very friendly and helpful.
Hi to everyone! I would like to thank the person who design and develop this NLBA device. There is a loot of good batteries out there those manufacturers are locking just to make people spend money! Let us be honest if any of us peasants would do such thing we would go to jail! This Analyser have helped me sort through my battery stock. Many of them turn out to be in great shape. I had completely unresponsive batteries that I was able to awake, charge, grade and I learned that battery that was made in 2008 have 89% life in it and the cells are great having only 22 ohms of resistance…. CRAZY. I think this is so far the best device I bought this year a specially that it was not too expensive. This will be handy every day in my line of business as I resell laptop parts! Thank you! I have no problem recommending that to other people who have knowledge and a bit of common sense…. This will not repair any bad cells as this is impossible - bad cell needs to be replaced but it will do miracles when it comes to good cells that was blocked by so called protection! Anyone who deals with laptops or other electronics that use this type of battery should have this on hand! Period! I only hope that it will be constantly developed, that owner will take on board users suggestions as I bet there will be many and that we can save at least 50% of them batteries going to waist and destroying our planet! Once again Thank YOU!
I love this tool and its prospects, almost as much as I love Sorin's excitement about the tool. I think this would come in very handy for other batteries, like drills etc.
I used a 4 port "Universal Laptop Battery Tester" like this back in 2012. It came with all the cables mounted on a battery connector with screws so you could customize them if you wanted to. Had a ready-to-use cable for every major laptop brand plus spare cables and connectors plus software. It was like $240, imported directly from China, from the factory that we used to import replacement batteries from. I can clearly understand why you're so happy, Sorin :) This tool is a game changer indeed.
I guess I know what are you talking about. That tool has limited functionalities, even the cell voltages are not read correctly for many batteries, apart the price which is higher. Also the charging/discharging current is lower, the load is external, etc.
@@nipembedded9976 Price mentioned was with all the customs and VAT taxes, 179 pounds before taxes sounds like the same price to me... And i would be able to use this tool (your personal design as i see by your comments) for only one battery at a time. Lacking of any functionality (maybe) is probably negligible, considering i'm talking about a way way older design originally developed for Win XP PCs with a COM port connection. Even if the current was lower, i would still be able to charge and discharge 4 batteries at the same time way quicker if i just wanted to "quick cycle test" them right after receiving them from the factory and before sending them to a client. Readings were correct on most of the batteries. All i'm saying is it was a good working horse of a tool. As a matter of fact, the firm i left back then is still using it now. Imagine if you test around 200 batteries per month every year since 2012 till now... that's a lot of batteries and at the end it gets the same job done ;) I'm sure yours is much more sophisticated and i applaud your time and dedication in developing it. I would love to see a version that can work with more batteries and have plastic connectors ready for an HP/Acer/Dell etc. battery, it's just really practical for businesses. Hobby-ists won't mind the 1 battery at a time design, i'm sure, in large scale though - not enough. I would love to test and compare your device if i was still working in this firm :) Oh, well... All i can do is wish you good luck and keep up the good work ;)
@@em0_tion Thank you. I have started this project because I have not found a good analyzer for laptop batteries. You are talking about a tester while I am talking about an analyzer. The product you are referring does the same thing like many PC softwares, it just read the data from batteries, it performs very basic tests like reading the cycle count or FCC. You can do it with any PC software if you can connect the battery to that laptop. But, if you have dead laptop batteries, not detected laptop batteries can you read data from them ? Can you track to voltage cells under load to analyze the voltage drop, and the deviation between the cells in order to avoid locking ? Can you measure the internal resistance ? You know that the trend of manufactures is to use slim/flat laptop batteries with different connectors. NLBA1 is already tested and works great with most of them. The charging algorithm for Macbook batteries is also validated, I don't know if you tester can test Macbook batteries. All the best.
Спасибо интернету, ютубу и Вам за то, что я имею возможность узнавать, что-то новое! Очень интересно и познавательно!! Разработчику тестера отельная благодарность за труды!
$199 here in the US.. I am thinking I might get one.. I do not work on laptops much but I do occasionally.. and like you say it is cheap and well worth the price.. Thanks Sorin that is some tool you found there.. a money maker and a problem solver.. you could not ask for more eh? thanks, carry on!
As always a great review from Sorin. I have been using the Laptop Battery Analyzer for about a month and I can only say that it is a great tool for all those who deal with service. The support is really fast and all inquiries are answered very quickly. Conclusion: a tool that will pay off very quickly :)
My batteries are ok (3.4V each) but no voltage output (maybe 00.1V), can this reset BMS? If not, how to do it? (I’ve seen vid about eeprom and cp2112), just not clear about it.
Hello, I have had this tool since May 2020, I mainly use it for battery diagnosis. In software version 3.0, the pinout detection is also very helpful. Update 3.3.0 worked very well, is better now than it used to be, very good. THANKS
Master class mate. You are a real humble teacher with decades of hard work and knowledge. Thank you kindly always for every word you say and how you share it with all of us. Really cool. Keep it up.
This is very good device. I make money with this device and I am about to make more. Thank you very much for your support. The device has much more value now with the reset/unlock option
We've just received our device and already managed to fix a couple of batteries! Great bit of kit, i suspect we will be wondering how we managed without it
Использую это чудо устройство уже на протяжении месяца . Это самая шикарная вещь которую я приобрел . Так как очень много батарей после коматоза отремонтированы и нашли своих владельцев:)
Super tare, mai ales că scula-i facuta de un român, nu contenești să ne înveți lucruri interesante și mai ales practice 100%. Felicitări și ține-o tot așa !!!
thanks so mush .i was looking for good tools for batary in my shop i have ...400 waiting but with this tools im very happy .thanks sorin for sharing this new tools with us .yu are the best
The device calculates the internal resistance, it does not read it, it is not stored in the chip. To compute internal resistance the battery needs to be functional.
Wonderfully done, and very happy about this tool. I only do diagnostic and repair at my shop, but this would still be worth it just for diagnostics. If you have some spare time, could you do a short follow-up video showing the use on an internal laptop battery, and the "generic" method in the manual to identify unknown pin-outs? This last part, and not knowing, is the only thing keeping me from making the purchase.
The way you test a battery will give you the real capacity. (Charge it, then discharge and measure how much energy the battery can deliver). The software gives a result almost instantly. This can only be based on data stored in the package. It should be fairly accurate but you cannot be sure. Especially not when the battery was sent in with a laptop for repair. So checking the battery with a load, like you do, is the only way to be 100% sure imo. I do like the NBLA tool though because it can read the data and recalibrate etc.
I use an IMAX6 balance charger (made for RC batteries) and with the discharging charging cycle the capacity info as been spot on. It's around $35 for an authentic one because there are cheap Chinese replica out there that do catch on fire.
Hi Sorin - Looks a great device, you mention it would be great to have a device for phone batteries. We have the "Icopy Plus" which allows you to read and copy Apple LCD screen data from a faulty screen to the new screen and also with the additional PCB, plug in Apple batteries and read the battery data, cell, cycle count, etc. Its superb !
Sorin, I love you brother, but you just destroyed my 18650 harvest from computer shops. You won't find me sharing this video. You're still the man.. I guess good things or free things have to come to the end😟
Nice one Sorin, good finding, looking forward to getting one. thanks. see you around... now we need something similar for phones batteries and apple products batteries :)
fantastic and useful tool. could you give a practical example on the "repair / wake up battery" option? Is it possible to resurrect a dead battery? your videos are always very useful and instructive. thank you.
I can tell you from my experience. I had several batteries stored for a long time. The cells got over discharged but PF flag was not set. The laptop didn't recognize them. Then by applying a special voltage patterns the batteries get alive. You can do this trick manually paying with "Set Output Voltage" in Battery Information tab.
Your " favorite " part is the repair section / tab , not sure if it's just a language issue or what ? But repair implies that --- it is doing repair / fixing issues . Most all laptop batteries us 18650 cells , some like Apple use envelope cells , but the voltage is controlled by the chemistry , so 18650 is from 3.2 - 4.6 , or nominal 3.8 + or - .2 . Much like all chemistries , cells can be completely discharged , and when they reach 0 volts , they can reverse polarity , many chemistries this can be " repaired " , within limits . So you may want to call the device manufacture & see if there is a program within this product that can " repair " that new / but dead battery ? The problem with most chemistries is sulfating [ this is being use as a generic term , different chemistries use different terms for internal shorting created by low - to no voltage ] with lithium ion , and most lithium chemistries - these are called dendrite growth between anode & cathode of the cells .
The software page is called "Repair" because it computes the internal resistance after you replace the cells, it shows you if welding was fine. Also because it as the functionality to generate some special voltage patterns to revive those batteries that have been stored for a long time, are not detected by the laptop but do not have Permanent Failure flag set, so you can "revive" those batteries. Since the laptop batteries are "Smart" you cannot have access directly on the cells through battery connector.
I use 18650 Vape charger with battery reviving function. I just soldered alligator clips on the negative and positive terminals and clipping them on the dead battery. Most cases 3v or lower, some charging system declares them dead battery.
It would truly worth to get about 10-15 of your BRAND NEW for selling batteries from your seller(s) and make a cell(s) test to see the possibilities of brand new batteries should go back to sellers for replacement. With this box's and software's help. Really interesting. Maybe on another video. Thank you!
if you add a few less than the full needed example 14800 only use 14000 the batery charge and can be fixed, sorry for the big price yet of the price , its a good part to be part of the repair shop but have to wait... maybe on 2021 see you , and love all your teaching school
At 27 minutes, you are looking at a pack that has 1 cycle and you state it has good cells. The analyzer and you don't seem to notice that the cell voltage of the first cell is actually measured to be 0volts with an internal resistance of 1mOhm. That does not look like a good pack. The analyzer even hangs when trying to read the voltage of the first cell, indicating that something is going wrong. EDIT: However, for some reason the cells 1, 2, and 3 are present. So either the pack is incorrectly configured or the analyzer software has a bug?
Thank you very much Sorin for this video. This is a very useful tool and I'm going to buy one immediately. Please I need your help on iPad 4 activation lock, kindly make a video for it or redirect me to an old video that will help me. Thanks very much. The model is:A1458
@39:45 Sorin some batteries don't have cycling counter, so they will say that they are never cycled, but in reality - they were used. So don't trust the counter when it says 0... sometimes it might be true, sometimes not.. also... less than 100 mOhm isn't always a terrible battery imho, but I might be wrong. If the tool measures the resistance of the circuit inside of the battery and after that detects only the resistance of the battery, probably it's more accurate, if not... it's not 100% accurate.
In principle the cycle count is incremented after a cycle 0% -> 100% or close to that, if the battery is always charged and discharged in the range of 30-70%, cycle count will probably be zero. The cells test reads the voltage of each group of parallel cells in range of mV and the current in range of mA.
@@nipembedded9976 I have a FUJITSU S 760 original battery, it has been fully charged and discharged for many cycles I suppose, since it is probably 10 years old or more laptop. Now... when I check the cycle count - it says 0. Hard to believe that :)
Please sir make a video on how to read pcb of mobile phones and fault finding. Also the function of each components In charging section, network section power section and their faults and solution. Thank you.
Im watching your videos since i noticed something like that and i remember my dad doing same things long time ago with massive TVs, it is lovely to watch. I got question, I've seen my dad using petrol on pcb boards to clean and you use fuel for lighter and some people say about alcohol and some will only use designated cleaners can you explain differents between them why one or other should or should not be used and any chance we can see video with test and results to diferent components how liquids will react. Thanks!
Salut Sorin si la multi ani ! Nu pot decat sa ma bucur ca iti continui treaba cu atata pasiune. Ma bucur cand vad ca acest soft e facut de un roman "powered by Nicusor". Oare a folosit electronica arduino? Va urmaresc de mai bine de 1 an si nu cred sa fii pierdut vreun videoclip. Eu unul chiar am avut foarte multe de invatat. Le si pun in practica la firma la care lucrez. Partea buna , ca si in cazul dumneavoastra, sa imi placa enorm ceea ce fac. Asta se vede in toate videoclipurile si poate ca de asta sunteti si atat de mult apreciat. Imi place shopul vostru de romani de acolo, familia voastra. Ca o mica sugestie ca va vad chinuindu-va cu hot glue, puteti sa va luati un pistol din ala de 60w si o sa va vina foarte usor sa reparati balamale si restul. Tineti-o tot asa ! Salutari din Botosani/Romania !!!!
@@nipembedded9976 - nice job ! Stiu ce inseamna munca de la 0. Practic eu fac 8 ani de cand tot lucrez la un sistem ERP, tot de la 0, poate anul asta reusesc sa il finalizez, desi in programare niciodata nu poti spune ca aia e versiunea finala, mereu vrei sa fie cea mai buna versiune. Ce pot sa iti urez decat versiuni fara bug'uri ! :)
Nlba is the most powerful tool and the unique in this line of work, professional or hobbiest its extremely attractive and passionante making money from unexpected things like bringing back to life dead batteries is unique and new to the market, this can help anyone who looking for new income, i love it
Please, I have some questions. Does he reprogram the battery ... Does it explain the damaged cell ... Does the device have uses other than the laptop battery, I hope that there will be a complete explanation for the use in a simplified way I need one and how much is the cost of shipping to Egypt
We need to collectively demand that the manufacturers update the controller software so that when power is removed from the controller, it automatically resets to factory settings, or this hell will never stop until Mother Nature does her best to balance sooner or later.
