  • Ryobi 36volt or 40volt battery stopped wanting to charge. And when you press the button, all power indicating LED´s blink all at onces. When put in the charger the led shifts between red and green.
    This is how I fixed it!! and you can to!!
    If you manage to relive your battery, using my video. I would love to hear about it, as I do enjoy knowing that it helped. Please do write my a comment below.
    If your battery is still dead as a doornail, and you want to donate it for me to have a try,, my email is under the about tab.

    Thank you so much!!! It makes me so mad that these batteries quit working. They should have a reset button on the battery, but then everyone wouldn't run out and buy a new battery. Thank goodness for TH-cam and My PlayHouse!

    At time 7:12 is gold "It shouldn't take long... and if it explodes it makes good video".. proceeds to accidently short something :) At least Ryobi labelled their BMS PCB very nicely. Thanks for the video, I picked up a couple 36V packs left for garbage and so far 1 of 2 packs appears to be coming up in volts. It was 100% dead 0V - using a RC charger (max voltage capable is 26V, so have to be done in batches) and manually brought all 10 cell banks individually to 3.0V, fast charge to 3.3V [starting at most positive end cell bank first] and then running a Li5S (21V) charge program at 0.5A between B+ and test point CL6- for first round, second round will be CL6- and GND (not B-... most BMS in fault condition cut off the B- consumer terminal from GND). The absolute worst, is when a charger unit itself fails (EGO+ '56V' - 58.5V full charge) and the OEM wants nearly as much $$$ for the charger as the original package cost... hello Amazon 60V DC lab power supply on prime days, 4mm banana plugs, 4mm posts, multi-meter and said broken charger being gutted with aforementioned 4mm posts being installed and internally attached to the B+ and B-; end result works GREAT (a trusted or calibrated multimeter is a must, the amazon supplies' displays are often out a volt or two).

      @@MyPlayHouse Update, I did successfully revive the two packs (one was -6.7V acros all cells discharged... surprisingly got the cells up and staying at 4.1V over the week - the BMS I was able to reawaken doing a pin short but it is very flakey). I am not fond of Ryobi's BMS as it seems over-engineeered to the point it brings on unnecessary failures. The charging regimens I did on these (such a 2-3C blast charge, watching amps to decrease but pulling off when that decrease slows BEFORE the cell heats, and resting the cell to average the charge over 10 mins to be within 1.2C) are not for the faint of heart as one mess up will cause a cell runaway within seconds.

    Very interesting video. I had a Greekwork's 40 volt battery that went dead and refused to charge. Instead of looking for a reset option, I removed the actual cells from the board. Not a good idea. Now I have great battery cells, but a really damaged controller board that needs replaced. I will certainly look for a reset for any future battery problems... Thanks!

    You literally saved me about $400 by posting this video. I followed your instructions and it worked! If I hadn’t learned about this, I would’ve probably bought a new weedwacker and then would’ve had to buy a new battery on top of it, since the weedwacker still wouldn’t work because the battery wouldn’t charge. I also have a a ryobi “expand it” pole saw, so I would needed new battery for that as well. So thank you!

    @shurik555 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Thanks a LOT buddy! It helped me. Anyway, from the very beginning, it DID not help me, but after little research on TH-cam i figured out that you must press the Check button same time. Be aware, that you probably will need to do it ~ x10 times. Because even when it will start blinking 1 green led only, after you will plug to charger it may go back to malfunction mode. Good luck to everyone who will found this solution. If it works with the others and me (without any electrician knowledge), you also are capable do it))

      @tonyrose844 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Mine did the same thing. But it won’t work. What am I missing? I took it apart. Put two wires to the reset insert and hit the check button. The led lights go from 4 blinking to one blinking light. Then once I plug it into thr charger it charges for maybe two seconds then goes back to malfunction (red/green flashing). I tried the whole thing maybe 4 to 5 times and it’s the same result. Any help or advice?

    • @oscarbevz2053
      @oscarbevz2053 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I've been lucky, equivalent ones last at least 80% of the time when compared to original. Just a rough estimate - I have 4 areas that I mow my lawns...and generally it takes 2 x batteries...whether is original or equivalent. Based on how lazy I have been, letting it grow too much. I would keep away from any "used" battery. It cost about Au$90 for the equivalent Ryobi original for Au$260...so, even if it's 50% as good, I am ahead. I recently ordered an 8Ah 36V at $95..that will be interesting to see if it does all 4 areas of my lawn(grass)...

    FYI technically both the 36V and 40V batteries are exactly the same other than the labelling. 40V is a marketing thing. It’s often done by many cordless tool manufacturers to just beat the opposition in voltage or to round the voltage up to an even number. In this case it’s a measurement of the battery when it is fully charged and measured at its peak voltage for a split second when the tool it’s powering is first turned on before dropping to around 36V. The 36V packs do exactly the same. So you are safe to use either pack in your tools.

    Thank you! I have the 40volt on my Ryobi chain saw and have been very happy with it. It sat in my shop for a couple of months and the battery showed two lights when I was ready to use it again. Then it said defective "red/green" blink. After that on the charger then all four lights blinked. Trying what you showed now. No luck it flashed the lights and I then put it on the charger with two lights showing. It still shows defective. I tried again and held the reset for a few seconds and all four leds blinked quickly for a few times. The the two leds showed charge level. Put it back on the charger and still shows defective. Guess I'll try resetting it and putting it on the saw with the two lights and see what it does. Kind of frustrated right now. We had bad weather and I have lots of tree limbs to clear. I'll let you know what happens latter.

    If you get a solid orange test light stick the battery in the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes and take it out and try to put it back on the charger. It’s apparently very sensitive to temperature as soon as it runs down.

    • @MyPlayHouse
      @MyPlayHouse  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I clearly shorted something for a split sec.
      If nothing comes up, you want to measure out the cells, with a multimeter,, make sure there is the same voltages on all the cells,, with in 0.1-0.2 volt of each other. if a cell is low, it needs to be brought up to what the others are at. If the whole battery is low you need to bring it up a bit. The electronic board will cut off if the cells are all way to low,, so you will need to charge directly on the cells. They do not need much,, just enough to reactivate the electronic board again,, and then let the normal charger do the work.

I tried starting again w both batteries and nothing. upon plugging both batteries into the charger, I got flashing red and green on the charger. if I press the button on 1 battery it shows no lights. The other, flashes green then only the 1st and 3rd. i have searched for hours before asking such a long question and found nothing to help me decide if its possible both batteries have issues or possibly the charger?. . Im hoping the fix fixes the batteries but thought Id check to ask if this is a problem you've come across. Thank you in advance.

    My battery came from my late grandfather. It was left in the tool for an unknown amount of time, but probably at least a year. Its the 40v version. I dont get any lights when testing the battery with its button and no voltage when tested. I get the red/green flashing lights when i plug it in. Internally my battery looks identical but the resetting did not work. Im wondering if its possible the battery is too dead, and if leaving it on the charger with the flashing red/green will still provide it some charge or if the charger has a feature built in that will not allow it to charge.
