It's normal to have a single scenario of discharge to 0 now and then. You need an extra charger (the circuit board) to get to the specs of the normal charger. Don't fool with it like some comments say. Charging must remain in low amps and a bit higher voltage. It says on the chargers.
I had the same problem. I used a set of jumper leads and connected the two batteries together for 30 seconds. Dead battery then read 3.6 volts, put battery on charger and now it's working again.
Hey, so I know you made this video years ago but I was wondering if the fix 'stuck' so to speak. Did the battery stay revived and work long-term or was this more of a short term / temporary solution? Did the battery die again?
@@Automotive_Solutions That does help, it is exactly the information I needed to be able to judge how effective this is to extend the life of dying NiMH batteries. Thank you.
Any chance you would be able to tell me what the output is on the secondaries of the transformer Inside that charger. I have a bad charged with 0 voltage on the secondaries. I opened it up and checked. I have voltage coming from the wall on the primary winding but no output voltage to the board. I can't find any info online and I don't have a known good charger to test myself. I'm trying to find a replacement transformer and need to know what the voltage to the board is. Thank you!!
It's similar to this.... www.ebay.co.uk/itm/373217329569?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=sZZHHgLlQcW&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=WpZq-fvvTZi&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
I have the same tool same battery and the tool will not turn. Battery does cycle trough the carger like normal, it has never just flashed red. Battery reads 8.3 volts, put it into the gun and absolutely nothing....I'm stumped. Any advice?
had the wire break inside mine, either that or if you used too much voltage it'll read 7.2v but not work, made this error myself before seeing this viddy!
