All parkside tools tell you of a 3 year warranty on the box but you try to claim for a duff battery and they tell you battery warranty is six months I have hundreds of pounds worth of parkside tools but no working batteries I think it may be time to contact trading standards as Lidl customer service don’t want to know
You need to discharge the replacement cell to the voltage level of the other cells first. Otherwise during the charge it will overcharge and the rest of the cells will be undercharged since the board has no balance function.
And you must use a cell with a similar discharge rate. If you use a low discharge cell you are going to have serious problems as the other 4 struggle to pick up the slack from the replaced cell.
@@MrGodsking you could easily fix them yourself with just a few tools. If you have multiple batteries that don’t work even spending a bit of money on the tools will be worth it. You’ll need a multimeter, possibly security torx bits to open the batteries, a soldering iron, solder pump, and a little spot welder. Spot welders can be had for $30 to…well the sky is the limit for large commercial ones but I can recommend some in the $50 range that can do everything but the thickets nickel strip (>.20mm). You’ll want to use pure nickel, the nickel plated steel has lower conductivity and corrodes but it is easier to spot weld the thick stuff because higher resistance means less power needed. If you’re in Europe you can order cells on Nkon they are without a doubt the #1 place to get cells from. You’ll be looking for cells that DONT have the little button top. They are unprotected cells meaning no little round circuit board under the button top. Protected cells are garbage, the circuit limits the current and you need high current cells. You want a cell that has a “Maximum Continuous Discharge Rating” of 20A or 25A. You’ll want the capacity to match your battery size. 2Ah is 2000mah. If you have a 5Ah then it’s 2 parallel groups of 2500mah because 18650’s have a max capacity of 3500mah and the high current cells have a max of 2500mah. You can’t have high current and super high capacity it’s one of the other. Tell me what size your batteries are and I can make you a parts list.
@@gudvooy2 those are the last two places I would buy cells from outside of Aliexpress. Do you live in the EU? I believe NKon is the #1 supplier of cells in the EU, pretty much the only name I hear. I think they have a "wholesale" portion of their site but its not for large quantities and it has a serious discount. Not sure what the minimum is but its probably less than 50. I'd guess 10 or so?
Garbage batteries, sold by Lidl. And, unfortunately, for most people (myself included) this video tells me very little about what I can do except bring it back to them and voice my extreme displeasure at the waste and unreliability
Those batteries are the same as many other brand batteries. It's not LIDL fault. It's just the way that physic laws work when using Lithium batteries on Powertools. Sooner or latter, any brand of battery will have issues like this one.
I have same 2nd 3.7V battery in from connector totally dead. All other 3.7V batterys are ok. This on a Lidl or Aldi Florabest FAHE 20-LI A1-1 which is a 20V 2000maHr 40Watt per hour battery. I am fixing it similar like you did. Thanks for video.
My 20V PAck from Parkside only shines the orange light (in the middle of green and red) when I press the test button and also doesn't charge - Could you please tell me what could be wrong here? Best Regards Toms
Your battery was discharged less than the normal voltage. Try to individually recharge them untill they reach fully charged. 4.2v full charge. Note that they must be the same voltages when you reinstall them.
I had same issue however battery was not fully discharged, still powering angle grinder, but when plugged into charge battery was drained by charger and would not recharge. Put a 2nd part charged battery in and same happened again.
@gudvooy2 both were bought at same time about 2 yrs ago, both 5amph. Strange that they both had power to use, both lit Amber on indicator and both were drained flat and killed on charging. Do they have a timer?
А у меня при зарядке мигает только крассная лампочка и всё! Что это может быть? Скажите пожалуйста.

Where can we buy these batteries because I have exactly the same problem with my Lidl 20v impact driver.
You can buy in Amazon or eBay, even in electronic store. Its a 3.7v 18650 battery.

People even fail. How much more these batteries could fail because of people lack of quality control.
Hmmm. Yeah, but also no. The batteries are just no good. @@gudvooy2

sorry to ask what is the tool called used with the soldering
It's called a soldering iron and the wire used is called a soldering lead.
@@gudvooy2 the one used with soldering iron to remove it from the board seemed to me it was sucking out the soldering lead
ok its a desolder pump :) tks alot king
Bon boulot

Bad baterries. Either one of the battery has a lower voltage than the other. Check all the batteries
I have 5 batteries new and won't charge can you fix for a fee
doesn't lock the bms chip?
Replace it
@@gudvooy2 maybe you know how to turn on the charger without the parkside battery, to charge batteries from other companies?
@@valdaskdn Look for adaptors for battery chargers so it can fit.
You can use jumpers too,make sure you place the negative and positive correctly.
@@gudvooy2 jumper will not fit. in ID contact is a digital signal
So if boths lights are blinking, it's NOT working/charging?
If both blinking either the battery or the charger is overheating or something is getting hot on the circuit.
@@gudvooy2 Thanks.
Super video ✊
In my case with same battery an charger the red is constantly on. All the batteries are 2.2 -2.5 v and the battery 13.8 . What can I do?
Your battery was discharged less than the normal voltage. Try to individually recharge them untill they reach fully charged. 4.2v full charge. Note that they must be the same voltages when you reinstall them.
@@gudvooy2 ok thank you for your answer !
