It worked, I literally left it connected for three seconds. I have a feeling as soon as you see that spark you could probably put it on the charger, but it worked.
I had 11 of my batteries in storage for a few years and let's just say that was an expensive mistake. Only a few were able to take a charge and those don't work too well anymore
I have done this with my batteries before and it works, but I wouldn’t connect for more than 1-2 seconds otherwise heat builds up in the wire and it could damage the battery. Originally I contacted Dewalt, after I mistakenly, completely drained my battery and it wouldn’t charge, and their response was, buy a new battery.
It worked.. I used thin wires.. started to smell it after about 5 seconds. but I left it in for about 10 seconds.. it's now charging.. thank you..Dewalt 20v 4ah
@@user-fx3nf4ui1hit does work I literally just did it. 20v 5amp wouldn’t register at all on any of my chargers. I did this for 5 seconds and now it charges.
Don't know about other brands, but dewalt batteries have a fusible link inside then that can blow if they get too hot inside, has happended to me several times. You can take the top cover off and solder it back together and fix it, if this doesn't work
The only thing more fun than resurrecting dead 18 to 20 volt Li-On batteries with a battery charger connected to a wall outlet, is by removing dents in your truck's sheet metal by getting really cheap inflatable beach or basket balls from a dollar-type store, or from Amazon, and placing them behind the dents you want to straighten, and then wedging the deflated balls in place with suitable pieces of 2' x 4", and then connect a small air compressor, capable of 150 psi, with a long, strong piece of tubing, and then cutting the air pump on, while hiding behind a friend's near-by truck. (Always wear ear and eye protection and a ballistic vest, or an armored suit plus eye & ear protection if the ballistic vest is not available. Safety not assured.)
Hey I've got a go-kart that I eraser go-kart and I'm putting a Segway battery into it I'm not sure how exactly hook it up to make sure the battery is charging
Buy lab power supply and limit current!! Or add large high Watt but low Ohm resistor (10-50). Otherwise current is limited by battery impedence, which is low and you damage batteries. Also, your dewalt power supply lacks low volt detection, is crap.
Only do that if you know the Voltage of each cell or at least the total Voltage of the battery pack. Each Cell should have over 3V wich leads to a total voltage of 18V. If the Voltage is below that you need to replace atleast one cell. The equipment you need to repair a bad cell costs more than buying a new one. So keep in mind that something like that only pays out after multiple repairs. I would say you need at least 4 batteries. Repair it or Sell it. Don‘t throw it away!!!
@@hammerandhome Awesome I tried it with 2 5amp 20v and it worked but I was hesitant to use my 5amp to do the 60v. Worked perfect on my 5amp ones! Will save me a few hundred dollars if it works on my 2 dead 60v!
How long if it's been drained,my Grandson lost it outside. It's not excepting any charge. Im only a Machinist electrical work is another deal. Please help me learn. Thank y'all, I'll follow with my results. Hopefully it will victory ✌️
Hey brother I have an old Ryobi CDL1802P with 2 dead batteries it was sitting in the box too long and totally forget I had it. How do I revive if both batteries are dead please?
Please dont 😮 using a car battery or something below the voltage of the battery maximum. Also make sure ur wire is big enough so it doesn’t melt while ur doing this
I looked at this and it looks like your video is only halfway the first parts cut out because it doesn’t show you what you’re setting it on it just shows you you’re hooking it to the Dewalt battery🤔
I would get an 18650 charger, but yes it's all the same principle. If you take a good charged battery and hook positive to positive and negative to negative it will start charging it. Just don't keep it together very long as explosion can happen when overcharged.
Electricity. The working battery is fully charged, you are essentially forcing the “dead” battery to take some juice from the good battery to where it will have enough to be recognized by the charger.
Je n'ai pas compris pourquoi tu fais ça. Il n'y a pas de sous-titres en français. J'ai un problème avec une batterie DeWalt flexvolt de 9ah qui ne charge que de 1/3 . Pourrais tu m'expliquer ? Je peux traduire les commentaires
Those are lithium polymer so probably not. If it’s got 18650 liphfe batteries then jump it with 4 volt or from a parallel 18650 in 4 volts the batteries inside this unit are 18650 in series parallel 4.2x4
If you watch the video you can see it’s connected to another battery. Positive to positive and negative to Negative. It’s a short from a longer video I did. Do at your own risk. Batteries are dangerous. Hope that clarifies it a bit
@@hammerandhome it's like car jumper. nice done, at first I thought the BMS is on the battery to prevent over discharge but it's look like there's no BMS in the battery pack to prevent the battery for over drain. in my case I use the battery direct (+ and -) to power tool and it over drain cause the voltage deplete to 5V and the battery won't charge. that's strange it just work by jump start using other similar battery.
Great way to burn your house down. Those batteries have numerous safties, and if they detect a bad cell from being drained too low, it locks out the battery. Calling dewalt most of the time, they will replace your battery for free
GREAT ADVICE. Newbie questions (don't judge): 1) Will this work with Dewalt's DW9099 (18V) batteries?; 2) Does the wire size matter?; 3) And lastly, is @benshell8662's comment legit: "...dewalt batteries have a fusible link inside then that can blow if they get too hot inside, has happended to me several times. You can take the top cover off and solder it back together and fix it, if this doesn't work"
Do at your own risk, batteries are dangerous and should be handled with care. This is for entertainment

Unbelievable I just got my 60v battery working THANKS A LOT
I’m about to try on my 2 60v batteries both won’t charge
Worked again. Thanks
This won’t work most of the time usually 1 cell in the pack goes bad or is leaking

Try it and get power to the battery but still wont charge
Mine too
Dewalt will give you a new battery within 2 years if it goes bad. No questions asked!
Yep and tbis is how house fires start
What number do I need to call?
4 years old battery is fixid
It worked.. I used thin wires.. started to smell it after about 5 seconds. but I left it in for about 10 seconds.. it's now charging.. thank you..Dewalt 20v 4ah
Same here, a 60V on a third party lamp, probably some flow despite device off, or just too long not used….in any case, it now charges again!
What did you jump it with? Another 60v?
What about the battery that your boost from? Is it OK? Or does it lose power?
I've tried this trick many times and never works for me
Does not work I hate liars
Yeah for me too. It didn't work. Maybe the battery it's beyond tepair 😮

Awesome 👍
It worked...thanks a lot 😁😁😁😁
Thank you! Just revived a dead v20 battery
Sweet!
Never let your battery get low on charge facts.
True! So important
What gauge wire are you using or can you use any wire

Thanks I didn’t know that👍
Wow! Thank you! That worked for me! I think I used to light gauge wire cause they got a lil warm but it worked! YT ftw! 👍🏼
I just tried it today and it worked but reading other post states that the battery could be still bad as a cell might have lost the recharge capacity.

You should see if it actually charges. Seen may after this run for 5 minute and still show charged
Got my 40v dewalt working, took a chance and bought the charger, battery and weedeater for 48 dollars. Now it's value has tripled :P
Hey I've got a go-kart that I eraser go-kart and I'm putting a Segway battery into it I'm not sure how exactly hook it up to make sure the battery is charging

thanks mate its working well now
Cmon guys I got like 4 batteries won’t charge now imma have go blow myself w this hack lol thank you
They meant to only last 3 yrs use then that's it I wouldnt mess with em doing this
Thanks. This worked for me
That’s great!
worked for me. Thanks.
What gauge of wire is needed. 🤔
Most definitely works!!!! Thanks!!!!
That's Great!
worked on 3 of my dead batteries!
I have a 20 volt that 1 lime on the battery lights up but when I put it on the charger it stays solid red DeWalt
I thought you werent meant to interrupt the charge when it wasnt fully charged
Can I replace the cells with lithium cells
Спасибо, мастер! Сделал как показано, всё стало заряжаться. 😁👍
What causes this to be the solution? Is it just so dead that it can’t start charging? I only have 1 60V how could I jump a 60v flex?
Yup that’s pretty much it. I used a 20v to do my flex volt.
@@hammerandhome Awesome I tried it with 2 5amp 20v and it worked but I was hesitant to use my 5amp to do the 60v. Worked perfect on my 5amp ones! Will save me a few hundred dollars if it works on my 2 dead 60v!

Am I missing something? What are the positive and negative connecting to from the Dewalt battery?
Watch as the video quickly passes by the 2nd batterie. There is a longer version of the video on my channel. This is just a short.
Same by battery thanks
I tried this on a Milwaukee battery and it didn’t work.
Should I be worried about the spark?

It's not excepting any charge.
Im only a Machinist electrical work is another deal.
Please help me learn.
Thank y'all, I'll follow with my results.
Hopefully it will victory ✌️
Really it just needs a quick second or two. Then put it on a charger. If it didn’t work than you probably have a damaged cell.
thanks this help to much to meee
Where can I get these cables
It’s just wire. Any hardware store
Hey brother I have an old Ryobi CDL1802P with 2 dead batteries it was sitting in the box too long and totally forget I had it. How do I revive if both batteries are dead please?
Not to sure, but maybe you could use a small 9v battery to give one a bit of juice. I haven’t tried this. So do at your own risk.
tried it, did'nt work
Did this but it didn't last long
Can we connect it directly to 220 volts?
Please dont 😮 using a car battery or something below the voltage of the battery maximum. Also make sure ur wire is big enough so it doesn’t melt while ur doing this
Mi batería mala se queda la luz indicadora fija y no carga

It’s just a short, there is a full video on the page. But if you watch the last half of this video, you can see it’s attached to another batterie.
Thanks its work
It really works
What if that doesn't work? Is there anything else you can do?
Not really, You could replace a cell. But that’s tricky and dangerous. Best to just buy a new one.
I tried this it welded the terminals on the battery in under a second
Wow! Never heard of that happening. Must have been something wrong with the battery or terminals.
I save one of my batteries flexvolt 9amp thanks
👍 awesome
nice tq❤❤❤❤
Tq friend save money👍👍👍👍
Do you think this works for single 18650 batteries?

Tried jumping my 60v and it sparked like a mofo. No idea what that means ???
What did you use to spark it? Thank you!!!
Electricity. The working battery is fully charged, you are essentially forcing the “dead” battery to take some juice from the good battery to where it will have enough to be recognized by the charger.
Why is no one showing its now charging before
And mine's already taken a charge
Tried doesnt work
I just use 2 pennies
Spark ⚡️ Not good!
I tried but it but Didn’t work for my 2 weeks old Dewalt battery .
Definitely take it back
Does this work on the flexvolt batteries?
Yup, it worked on one of mine
This worked for me. Saved me from buying a new one.
Excellent!
Gonna try with 5 ah 60 volts. Only a year old and won’t take a charge.

Dose that work with 2 different styles
I would think as long as voltage is the same shouldn't be an issue.
Tried this and it fried the good battery. U owe me a battery sir
Sorry to hear that. Must have crossed your wires. Do at your own risk
🎉 класс, всё работает
an if it dount work then what do I do
Buy a new one unfortunately
I guess fixed for one time only
That battery still has yellow light. Not charging
Charged up just fine.
Can this work on an Airsoft battery?
Not sure, theoretically yes. But I’ve never tried on one.
Those are lithium polymer so probably not. If it’s got 18650 liphfe batteries then jump it with 4 volt or from a parallel 18650 in 4 volts the batteries inside this unit are 18650 in series parallel 4.2x4
