WB400p Battery Reset

- The battery died on me from being connected to the AD400pro for too long without being used. I left it for over 6 months in dead state, it still had 4 volts of charge after all that time. I had looked into buying a new battery but it would have been $200 CAD. I found other videos on how to perform a WB400p battery reset but most involved using a lab power supply. I wanted to do this fix as cheap as possible. I had to spend $25 dollars on a multimeter. I figured the power supply that comes with the AD400Pro gives the exact power delivery that would charge the battery safely.

Thanks man, that was the easiest way of all youtube vids.
Yes it was.
It was the only way.
Thanks man, you saved me a battery, money and time!
🔋Thank you so much! Thank you so much!🔋
You saved my batteries! A beautiful life to you!
Dude. You are a life saver. Others had videos with a real deal temp charger to jumpstart batteries. But I couldn’t find one in upper Cuba (Miami). So I ran to Walmart and grabbed an analog light meter, some black tape, wire cutters, and the only wire I could find. Lamp cord replacement. I felt like McGuyver as I pieced together this truly ghetto setup and was able to wake my AD400PRO battery up. It’s now charging. Total investment, around 40 bucks. Thank you!!!
Great, it worked! Thank you very much man.
thank you, after a long time without use "4 years" the WB400P battery come back to life , thank you again.
This absolutely saved me! Thank you for putting this up
Thanks this worked like a charm, just did short charges and waited for the green lights to have a pattern and held it for a few minutes while the lights had a normal pattern.
Thanks man, it worked like a charm. I didn't use a voltmeter though, I would monitor the charger LEDs and did short charging sessions, 1 minute at a time. After 3 to 4 minutes the charger started to go from irregular LED charging pattern to regular. Once I hooked it all back up, it started to charge as usual. Thanks again, just saved me a trip to battery shop and their charges and/or a new battery.
Thank you, this worked on my WB26A for the AD600 Pro.
thank you so much for this video ♥️
it fixed my ad400 battery issue. I didn't use the ad400 Adapter. instead I had a small projecta 2200ma 12v car trickle charger. connected the round terminals with cables to the positive and negative and lined them upto the positive and negative terminals on the battery. took 2 minutes to get it to around 15-6 reading on the multimeter. I then just used tweezers to reset the battery on the circuit board just in case and it worked without a hitch. saved me a lot of money as this happened on more than one Battery
I'm trying to do the same thing u did, how do I reset the battery?
I didn't get any usefull "what-to-do-if-it-doesn't-function" tips from youtube so far, but your video helped me, so I don't need to buy a new battery. Thank you so much !!!
This was perfect. I've got 4 AD400Pro units and only really use 1 in my studio. Looked at the other 3 and all 3 batteries were hibernating. This trick has gotten them up and charging again. Barely took me 30 mins to get to the point where all 3 could charge on their own again. I know Godox offer a service where they basically do exactly this but charge 50 bucks for it! So a thousand thank yous! 🤟
Good to hear!
Worked perfectly. Thank you!
Worked perfectly!!!
Only comment is that you need to be very clear about where the inner plug wire goes to the terminal towards the front on left (when cells face you) the outer plug wire to the terminal on outer right side if you’re looking at the battery cells.
Watch the video to be sure as it can kill your battery.
But thanks for making this awesome video for an easy fix
It worked !!! You are a genius!
Thank you for saving me $170 !!!! It worked , I actually left if charging this way for at least an hour because I only had red light blinking. After an hour, it started showing green charging lights..
Thanks bro this worked like a charm
This worked for me! Thank you! 🙏
Glad it helped!
Amazing, it worked !!! Thank you!
Thank you, it works greatly
Thanks man you save me so much money
Same method used it worked like a charm
You are DA MAN for Sure!!!
Thanks!!!
I appreciate that!
Thank you very much, greetings to you from Libya

هل حصل معك نفس المشكل
@@amelfassouli2701 اي نعم نفس المشكله
@@mohamed-lyياليت تتواصل معي ابي اعرف كيف حليتها اذا تكرمت
Thanks man! It works!
you are welcome
Thanks, I didn't do the DIY I just brought a battery maintainer, and I already had a multimeter and it worked. Save me from buying another battery thinking this one was gone. It was like a jump start didn't take long to get it going.
@@brendadanielseguale8204 Yeah the one I brought was made by Viking model 63350. I got it at my neighborhood hardware store for $33. I already had a Multimeter by Kaiweets Model km601
Also, Viking will tell you what the voltage is as it charges. Didn't really have to use the multimeter with it. So I just did what he did with the circle terminals.
So I did this for ours and its now charging . I kept the casing off for a bit to make sure it's not getting hot .I want to know the pack isn't messed up. Thanks for the video .I have a drone pack that wont charge .Going to see if this works for it too.
Thanks for the help. I’m running into the same issue. I can’t use any method found because they changed the version of the battery
Thank you so much for this Video.
I am finding it hard to know the connections of my wb 400p batteries. It fell from something and everything scattered
Gracias me funciono
i got the battery to 18Volts and having the 2 wires connected to battery terminal, i saw the charger lights to start charging sequence. I was happy, then connected the plug to the battery socket AAND nothing.. charger power led stays on, but nothing else. measured the voltage at the plug pins.. its the charger output voltage... measured voltage also on the battery + and - terminals and it reads the same voltage 18volts as i jump started it. Can there be some fuses or something on the logic board? Charging volltage is definately not reaching the battery cells.
How long did it take you to get to minimum charge?
about 15-25 minutes but I didn't have the wires connected to the battery that whole time. I did it in small amounts and kept checking the voltage with the multimeter.
what if you bought a new battery but the same problem exists could it be the charger and not the battery?
What’s the significance of getting to the 16v before you went back to the charger? Is there some minimum it needs to get to? Anyways I tried it & works a treat. You just saved me $250 bucks! Thanks 🙏 heaps! Subscribed. 👍
You're welcome, and thanks for leaving the comment. Apparently the minimum voltage for the battery pack is 16 volts. Any less than that and the charger will not charge it.
@@Twothenines great 👍 thanks again
I tried your method and kinda worked. Before the led on the battery was off, after I tried your method the led started to blink, but still wouldn’t work on the charged so I tried charging more and the red light became solid I even tried on the Flash and it turned on, but it still isn’t working on the charger. Do I have to charger more? I did for about 7-10 minutes
I know the charger is working because I got a new battery from Amazon and it charges
@@LessandroBarbosa It could be that the battery is damaged internally. Me myself, I would try charging it more but I would be safe when attempting it. Eye wear / face shield, full sleeves, well ventilated area, container of sand etc.. But that's only what I would do.
@Holiday I left on the charger for about 30 minutes and it started to charge again. So I guess it worked. Thanks for you video.
