Every once in a while my Ryobi 18V battery won't charge and throw the charger into a fault cycle. This is troublesome, and many will suspect a faulty batter or charger. Do not despair, the solution is simple.
My batteries spent a lot of time in my work truck and on the job site, they get dirty, wet, and get used frequently. The battery connection, especially with the older batteries with the waffle/crosshatch pattern on the contacts, collect dirt and grime easily.
A little WD-40, or other cleaning agent, cleans these contacts and after placing the batter back on the charger, it begins to charge immediately! Simple fix! Check it out!

Omg my 18v has been in the battery recycle pile for YEARS. I just put it on the charger and it went red, quick flashing green and then click…back to red so it won’t charge. I then sprayed the WD40 on the 3 leads and polished them with a paper towel. Put it back on the charger….red, quick flashing green….quick flashing green….still quick flashing green! The dead battery is charging after all these years lol. So glad I didn’t recycle it. Thank you!

I'd call that a win!!!

If your battery sat In a recycle pile for years I don’t think you could call it that. Haha how many more years were you going to wait until you were going to commence the recycling? 😂 that sir is just a pile. You just tried to make yourself appear to plans for your mess

@DadItYourselfDIY 2 месяца назад

@brickmate4802 Haha! Well at least he had success!

@simonlinser8286 Год назад

How about rubbing alcohol, so the battery doesn't smell like wd40? Or electronics cleaner? Or... like, a wire brush... or something...

@DadItYourselfDIY Год назад

Those would work also. It's what I had handy..

@ricknelson2214 3 месяца назад

I just push it up and down in the charger till it goes

Tell you what back in the day if a car went into water above the distributor cap than we have major malfunction so pop the distributor cap spray wd-40 all inside the cap and your good to go. Bet me?

WD-40 stands for Water Displacement Formula 40! 🤙

WD40 is good but I prefer Deoxit, works on lots of electronics especially crunchy volume knobs, etc.

@DadItYourselfDIY Год назад

It's what I had handy. A good contact cleaner works best!

@francesfluker1889 2 месяца назад

@@DadItYourselfDIYso what’s a contact cleaner? And where do I purchase

@billyamerican5200 3 месяца назад

Whenever a battery corrodes in a flashlight,radio etc,I clean the corrosion off and spray the terminals in the item with WD 40 and it the item works fine and the corrosion doesn't come back.

I wonder if you can help me with my problem, I have a ryobi one+ battery and all green light on the battery stay on all the time, but the battery doesn’t work with any tool. Please help

@DadItYourselfDIY 6 месяцев назад

Sounds like the charge controller is bad. Have you tried a different charger? Is it still under warranty?

@CantankerousDave 3 года назад

Any suggestions for tools that take a few tries to turn on? My Ryobi rotary cutter and shop vac have both been reluctant to start up lately. The motor will spin briefly, but stop. Flicking the switch on and off a few times has worked, but I'm worried it'll get worse.

@DadItYourselfDIY 3 года назад

When I usually experience this it's a battery issue, iether dirty contacts, undercharged, or an undersized batteries, the 1.5 and 2 ah batteries are not much good in tools with motors other than drills, and they struggle there. Try a different larger battery and see if that makes a difference. Worse case the switch on the tool has a loose connection or corrosion on the switch contacts.

@CantankerousDave 3 года назад

@@DadItYourselfDIY it happens with 4ah batteries (real ones, not knockoffs).

@DadItYourselfDIY 3 года назад

Just those two tools? - Scott

@CantankerousDave 3 года назад

@@DadItYourselfDIY Yep, just the rotary tool and the 6 gallon vacuum.

@DadItYourselfDIY 3 года назад

That 6 gallon vacuum I know is a power hog. You may need to try a 6ah. There is also a known switch issue. Do you have the rocker switch or the rubber switch. Not sure what the issue with the rotary tool is. I use that one with all size batteries.

There is electrical conductive grease

@DadItYourselfDIY 2 года назад

Nice!!!

@devioussounds 2 года назад

Dielectric grease

@DadItYourselfDIY 2 года назад

Yup!

@mikeycurtis7861 Год назад

Lmao no THAT IS WRONG! Dielectric grease is NOT conductive!! It's a specific grease made for protecting electrical connections from the elements. It only gets squeegeed away from the connection, when it's pressed together. If u put dielectric grease between 2 connectors, electricity WILL NOT pass through! It's meant to be added on AFTER a good connection is already made. It's main useful factor (besides weatherproofing) is that it will easily move away during a connection, after a disconnection. Learn how to use a volt meter and prove me wrong.. IN FACT, read the can of dielectric grease and prove me wrong!

@phillipstracner7909 Год назад

There is also WD-40 contact cleaner. I couldn't read to tell if you were using it. But i got a can of that to clean my radio coaxial and other things. Im struggling with a knock off 40 volt knock off brand that wont charge. Ill try this on my batterys lije the ones your doing.

@DadItYourselfDIY Год назад

Just used standard WD-40.

@burtonexoticbullies.2313 10 месяцев назад

Anything i can used besides wd 40 ?

@DadItYourselfDIY 10 месяцев назад

Sure, rubbing alcohol, electric contact cleaner, or nail polish remover all work as well.

@@DadItYourselfDIY I just tried alcohol didn't work 😭 my batteries must be broken all 3 of them

@DadItYourselfDIY 10 месяцев назад

It's not a sure thing, unfortunately. Try a different charger too.

@salbruno5878 День назад

Yeah don't use WD. The cell voltage might be low too. They won't charge then either. You'll need to take the battery apart and manually charge.

Gone are the days of the indestructible Ryobi tool. I have an impact driver from 2001 that worked thousands and thousands of srews,fell of a roof 4.5m nose first onti concrete and still shows only minor fatigue. I went through 3 much younger models in the past 8 years. They're good, but not as good as they used to be.

@DadItYourselfDIY 3 года назад

My impact driver from 2014 is still going strong!
