Be careful, there is a risk of shorting the batteries and it can explode. Risky task and quite difficult to open. Thishow you open up a Dyson DC35 battery pack if you want to replace the batteries by yourself. 22.2v 2.0Ah Li-ion rechargeable replacement Battery For Dyson DC31 DC34 DC35 DC44 (NOT Fit Type B or DC44 MK2) Handheld Vacuum Cleaner - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
thank you for the effort. was contemplating whether to diy replace my batteries.your video saved me much time.
thanks for the effort.
It is nice that you are so gentle with it.
j'ai reussi a faire une belle job en utilisant un exacto au lieur d'un flat screwdriver et en utilisant des lames de rasoir de sureté pour commencer à faire levier avant de wedger des lame d'exacto pour chacune des 6 pins.... tres clean job mais ton vidéo m'a aidé.
Hi I have a dyson dc 35 cordless and it's s withing off the same as yours but only seems to do it while I have the full pole attached .when I took the pole.off and checked
filters it is working fine but once I attach the pole it stops working .any help .
You can’t buy genuine batteries from Dyson anymore so this really helped me to get the case open on mine. Now I need a video on how to diagnose what’s wrong with it. Good job thank you.
Thank you so much for the feedback. Glad it helped.
Most likely it will be a simple matter of charging it up then running the appliance until it runs flat. Then check voltages on the cells. You could then try replacing the worst of the cells, although this would be tough to do, judging by the design.
Looking at this excellent video, it would probably be easier to remove all the batteries, and the charging circuit, and replace with new cells plus a 7-way molex plug connected to the positive end of each cell, plus the negative end of the last cell. You could then use a standard balance charger to charge the thing up. Not ideal, as you'd have to charge the battery off the appliance, but it's what I've done with all my lithium cordless drills and it works very well, plus you can choose your own charge rate and use a top notch balance charger which preserves the cells. If you've multiple lithium ion devices, and you adapt them all to molex plugs, you'll be laughing!
@@tasmedic That sounds great! Have you done a video on how to do it??
@@nw8000
Yes, I ought to do that. I've a couple of videos up about other things though. I wonder if you've seen those....?! ;-)
It's highly likely these 18650 cells are low or faulty. These batteries only last about 2 years in the Dyson. In the UK you can buy Samsung 18650 cells from £3.79 each. Get yourself a multimeter and check each cell. But, to remove the cells and install new ones isn't for beginning. The cells need to be spot welded on back.
In the beginning i could i could turn my DC35 on when i pressed the battery from the rigth angle. I did the replacement with LG HG2 but now i cant turn it on at all. The head can spin but the motor doesent start. I suspect the 3 little pins being the problem as they are measuring only 0,05 V. Should they output 24 volt or? Hope one can help :)
thanks for the heads up :)
Thanks for sharing!
thank you so much
Thank you. Just what I was looking for. Maybe you could make another video giving measurements. It may help to understand the role of the 3 mysterious contacts on the rear side
+ve, -ve, and temperature.
Great vid, least he's shown you how to remove the casing and what's inside. Probably saved loads of people time and given others info via comments section on what batteries to use.
Thanks man, positive comments are rare on this video haha!
@@TheChug do a video for people then await the keyboard warrior abuse 😀 Stripped down my Bosch Athlet and decided to sell the parts off on ebay.
Tried for 15 Minutes and couldnt get inside yet! Thanks for the video showing it is possible with lots of scratch marks. I just wanted to repair the worn socket in the battery unit but might as well buy another battery. Any luck with the $25 knock offs, saw some place online asking $85 for a genuine one lol
I bought the cheap one and it's still working!
Does the battery pack works after replacing the cells? Hopes the BMS will not brick like those in the V6 battery packs.
thank you Chug for taking the time to pst this video, really like it, and useful, simple
I just want to add 12 more 18650 cells to at least triple the run time, so I can get rid of the corded one.
👍🤗 molto più semplice e poco costosa
Just ordered a new battery pack, but interesting to see what was inside, I suspected the batteries would be standard 18650 cells, and they were, the soldering etc would make it difficult to repair, but not impossible :) Thanks for the video, I'll dismantle mine and see if any of the cells are usable for a torch or something :), but probably for the recycle bin!
Merci Beaucoup, mon ami.
Ah... ben de rien!
Christian I thought initially "such a novice!!!". Damn guys, it is really the hardest battery pack I ever came across. To open it you eventually ruin it. It is not because of the plastic clips, it is because it is damn tight (with foam tape to increase the friction even further!!). To those that are wondering. I just rebuild mine, replacing the original Sony US 18650vc3 (rated 1900 mAh, 20A) with 6 LG HG2 (3000 mAh, 20A). PROBLEM: the original Sony have a diameter of 18.2mm, the LG have a diameter of 18.5 (0.3mm more). Guys, they DO NOT FIT, you have to use the Dremel to re-bore the cells' case, or modify the cell case (like a did with a cutter). As a result, the battery pack will result bent, and you will have to close it with American tape. Is it worthwhile? Meh...
Haha, yeah, well... I know it's not pretty and it sure looks like a novice. Thanks for the comment. It's not worth rebuilding it...
Christian Galipeau seriously, initially thought “here we go. It’s just a matter of patience, this guy had none...” took me two hours to open the case, no matter the use of hairdryer to make the plastic softer... and eventually the cells that I had were slightly too big to fit... it’s really a risky exercise, because you have to weld over the battery and there is really little space. Risk of shorting is real.
Man's struggle against the machines.
haha yeah!
This another example of why women live longer!....eesh!
@@missswish899 haha Miss... Yeah let's see how long I'll live ;)
Thanks for the video … at least it satisfied my need to pull it apart lol 😂
That's great! 😂
Not to be critical, but I thought that the battery case - as it was first shown, before disassembly - was a "plug and play" unit. The replacement battery includes the case.
Thanks
Thanks for the video.
I realize many others have issues with it.
But I simply wanted to see what things looked like INSIDE of a dyson battery pack.
Plus how hard it might be to manually replace the batteries.
So your video accomplished showing curious folks the guts of a Dyson battery pack.
The 18650 batteries are quite popular these days.
I see that people building DIY VAPING RIGS for 510mm cartridges use them .
So, many 18650 BATTERY REVIEWS sites are out there. Showing different 18650 batteries reviews and ratings.
Oooh nooo, don't you ever use a screwdriver for tasks like this! Opening cases like this one is an art! 😏 Use a thin knife blade instead and carefully work your way under the clips. The plastic Dyson used is flexible enough to take the strain and not break. I just opened a similar case (DC62) with very little visible damage. Now I have to find a way to unclip the light guide for the LED indicator. Almost harder than opening the case 😜
Thanks for the hint!
what battery size are they?
Thanks, we can replace the battery then print a new box with a 3D printer :)
Wonderful!! 3D printer to the rescue!
Hello
My dyson work and stope work and stop
I try to clean the connector of dyson
With screwdriver of the DC35 type B in the body and little bit in the connector of batterie
And now my dyson don’t work totally
Do you have solution ?
I really don't know man... sorry... :/
Makes you think why Dyson did not design the battery pack where you can side in the replacement individual chargeable batteries one by one. Some one claimed Dyson do not sell the pack any more yet they are still advertising on their website. My main concern there are plenty available cheap compatibles for sale from China priced around £22. Just don’t trust the compatibles for this reason.
Спасибо , я сделал много выводов .
Try car petrol to weaken plastic joints first with cotton buds
Great idea!

Hi, I've opened my D62 battery pack. It is slightl different of yours. Do you know the type of soldering, is it tin? Can I use a soldering iron ?
All lithium battery packs are spot welded. You can solder, however, be very careful. I have done it plenty of times before, without issue. I scuff up the new battery terminals with a razor or file, then set my soldering iron to MAX heat (550 C), then on the newly scratched up area of the battery hold the iron and apply a gererous amount of solder, without making it flood inside the positive cap!. Do one end of the battery, then move to the next battery, giving them time to cool down before soldering the other end. Remember, be careful! They can explode.
Thanks for shareing
It is possible to refit this battery, but not easy. Everything is very tight. But buying a new one is not a better option: This device is to old, and so are the third party batteries you can still get. Nevertheless, it is worth it. Every new Dyson (or Dyson clone) ist much bigger and less handy.
You have to buy the WHOLE unit! What are you doing man?
Man, I already made much more than a brand new Dyson unit with the youtube revenues on this video. It was so much WORTH it making this. So... haha. Next time, don't just buy a new one, tear open your battery and post it on here. Cheers and happy new year 2020 my friend.
The packs are only $80 in Australia including shipping so I don't think it's worth it either, thanks for the video.
only $80, you can buy the whole vacuum cleaner second hand on local buy swap n sell for under $100
I thought he was going to throw it for a second.
Hahhaa that would have been damn funny.
Just tried and failed for a V8 battery. Ended up here, probably same stuff inside. Some people just are curious what's inside of shit :D
Ya didn’t really know what you were on with there did ya?
Nope, just wanted to open it by curiosity!
Good
Yeah, but opening up the case took 70% of the video haha! :P Thanks!
@@TheChug Chug Galipo totally. U Shall change the title. I missed to watch your video which caused me spend 30 min to saw the cover with powertool.
Heat the plastic with a hair dryer first. May make the sections easier to separate.
Great hint!
Acquistata su Amazon nuova a €. 25,90 -- 22,2 V - 2000 mA
Yeah, that's what I did too. I bought a new one on Amazon.
Классно пацан мучается!!
I assume I should also get 24V out on the three metal contacts on the backside of the battery when it is just sitting correct? I get 24V out from the two main connectors on the top of the post but nothing on the three metal contacts on backside and suspect this is why the vacuum head works fine, but powered attachments don't work.
Hi did you resolve your issue? Im having the same issue, only measuring 0,05 V across the 3 terminals. Does anyone know how to fix?
@@svankervej the 3 terminals is for communication between the main unit and the battery. You won’t find the output voltage there.
Are them 18650's? if so im gonna tear mine apart and put some of my panasonic 3400mah cells in it
No do not use these panasonic cells, they can't handle the discharge rate of this device !!!
Carsten Oschlies whats the current draw on the dc59. I use these batteries in my fenix tk75 which i figure pulls a pretty high current also. thanks for the heads up.
It has 100 watt so it consumes up to 33A, as far as I know. You have to divide watt by 3 but don't ask me why.
if its draws 100 watts at 22 volts it would pull 4.5 amps
Happy trying. Dyson builds in expensive Sony VTC4 cells which can handle 30A in long time use. They will do this for a good reason.
I reckon this is potentially very dangerous. You risk damaging the protection circuit which prevents over charging and over discharging the cells. Failure of the circuit could lead to a fire.
I agree here... having a fire though would have made a huge amount of traffic on this video haha
Not if you use a smart charger used with RC batteries..
Just don’t buy it from Dyson. That’s the best solution to this.
Seems like a real pain in the ass to do this. I will just buy a replacement.
OnlineBackupServices yeah, I don't think it's easy to replace those batteries There...
Have you attempted it? The problem is the genuine replacements are very expensive and the cheap aftermarket packs use low quality cells which will die after 1 year.
The dyson use us sony VTC4 18650 cells which have high amp 30Amp. The aftermarket chinese ones use any old cells. It may be worthwhile finding a faulty aftermarket battery pack and put in sony vtc4 cells. The aftermaket packs might be easier to take apart and reasemble.
OnlineBackupServices no, I bought a cheap one on Amazon... works great!
Any brand you can recommend. I went throguh so many rubbish fake laptop batteries and all of them let me down. This makes me hesitant about using third party batteries.
OnlineBackupServices I don't really know the brands...I'll try to check it out. I chose the one with the best review.
I think this is a video on how not to open a dyson battery 😂😂😂
Probably! 🤣
All that hassle and then decided he couldn’t replace the batteries 🤣🤣🤣
🤣😂😅
@@TheChug it was actually a very good video-but just very funny 👍👍👍
Maybe next time just drive a bulldozer over the battery 🤣🤣🤣
@@depechem0demusic 😂
@@TheChug You know what-I’m actually going to subscribe to your channel 😉😉
Took you 30 mins to open the case
ive done the same and this battery is a bitch to open
Don´t do it in this way. You can make a short circuit and there is a possibilty, that the Lithium Batteries will burn and you don´t have the possibilty to extinguish the fire !!!
Thanks, good advice.
So the point was what???
I'm not even sure... But was still worth it! 😂
Why woudlnt you just get a fresh pack on Amazon for $22 like I did? LOL
That's what I did haha
This another example of why women live longer!....eesh!
Haha, yeah I guess you are right... I must be lucky to still be alive!
Wow 2:55 of video of you opening the battery... unbelievable!!!
Thanks man, really appreciated.... A real success story! Haha!
“Tabernacle” So you’re Quebecois?
Yes I am! Tarbanak d'osti de calisse... lol
DO NOT DO THIS!!! I just used same technique and the BATTERY EXPLODED!! I'm not kidding. I had my screwdriver trying to pry apart the outside case. The screwdriver slipped in and all of sudden, BOOM! Fire shot out, Thick black smoke poured out and filled my house. I grabbed the smoldering batter and threw it out on front yard in the snow. Area rug I was using is ruined and I have all the windows open trying to get rid of this noxious smoke. I DO NOT RECOMMEND trying to repalce battery packs inside. Amazon has V8 Batteries from $45-65!
Sounds like your screwdriver punctured a cell and/or shorted out cells.
lots of people strip and rebuild battery packs without destroying them like this.
obviously it's not for the reckless or careless.
So...you're at fault. Basically the advice should be don't get you to do this.
Next time don't be stupid and discharge the battery first! It has to have enough energy to explode or catch fire... And work cautiously at safe place!
Hence, another example of why women live longer!....eesh! :)
Tabarnak!... 😂😂😂
Did I say that? Oh, very possible! Haha
2:02 Tabarnak
😂
Needs more swearing
Hahahaha yeah, osti de calisse de tabarnak... Fuck that thing is hard to open tabarnak.
Battery is only 25 bucks on Amazon! If you can afford a Dyson then just buy a new battery. Stop doing the most!
Just skip to 2:50
The first part is like watching a sports coach trying to woo a lady. It's awkward, lacks skill, and it's not going anywhere
Haha yeah, obviously, Captain Obvious always succeeds the first time he's trying to woo a lady. Good job! 🤘🏻
Ban Dyson and buy Panasonic,Dyson highly overrated and parts expensive.Plastic for plastic's sake !
Agree Dyson are crap. The handle is designed very poorly and it's a pain to use literally. My battery failed after a year.$600 for a product lifespan is typical of today's electronics. The circuit board you see in this video probably generates further profits for Dyson.
Actually the motor inside of that thing is a Panasonic. AvE’s channel disassembles one of the canister vacs and proves it.
Fuck sake. Get a god dam bigger screwdriver!
Do not and I mean do not use metal tools to take a Dyson battery apart. Yeah it is hard to replace the batteries because you need a battery spot welder to do this. If you don’t have the right tools and knowledge then don’t do this. You can start a fire or worse it can blow up in your face. Also the flumes from these batteries are very bad for you and can cause lots of health problems. Please take note and don’t be stupid like this guy using a screwdriver to take it apart. He was lucky he did not hit the battery with his tool.
Yeah, don't be stupid like me.
OMG! just buy a new battery!!!
Complete waste of time. You trashed the battery opening it and have no idea what you are doing!
Yeah... And? What's wrong with that?
omg what a joke
Thanks 😂 🤣
Perhaps the worst video on youtube. Ever.
Thanks man, I probably deserve an award for this.
