I'm sitting on 5 dead Paslode batteries. If I can get my hands on a battery charger I'll give it a try. Thanks for taking the time to create this helpful video.
Thank you. I'm in the middle of a project and only had 1 battery which wouldn't charge. Put my car charger on it and 'presto', batter started charging in paslode charger.
Just watched this and then went to try it. My charger only does 12 volt and the battery is 6 volt so I thought what the hell, i'll try it any way. Held the charger terminals on for about 10 seconds and wehey were off. Cheers mate.
The problem with this type of battery is the charger for the battery is set to charge a reasonably charged battery. Often an owner will leave a flat battery in storage for months and the charge falls to nearly nothing, so the charger does not detect it. Foecing a small voltage in with a more powerful charger will make the proper charger recognise it and charge it normally. Do not force charge it for too long as you may destroy or even explode the battery.
@@curiouscat3384 You need to get just enough power in to make the Paslode charger recognise it. I usually get two batteries and wire them in series so they produce a 12V circuit. This can be done with a couple of paper clips bridging the battery connections. Then connect to a car battery charger for a short time, probably less than a minute, then put them straight in the Paslode charger. You should find the battery then takes a charge. You need two batteries in series as Paslode batteries are rated at 6V. So two to make a 12V battery, then back to 6V in a Paslode charger.
@@roberttill3787 Thanks again Robert! My Diehard charger/maintainer is 2 amp, 6v/12v but has no switch option for voltage. I wonder if I still need to do the two batteries tandem - I'm scared to ruin the good one I have!
@@curiouscat3384 If its a dual voltage charger there is usually a way to select the voltage. Try finding some instructions that you can find how the charger switches voltage.
@@roberttill3787 The manual says it auto detects proper voltage. I'll give it a try tomorrow, following your guidance to do less than a minute then pop into paslode charger. thanks again!
I used a cheap phone charger that plugs into the wall outlet. I cut the ends plugged it to the wall put the power to the outer circle and the negative to the inner circle for about a minute the voltage went up and I quickly put it to the charger. You have about 5 seconds to get in on the charger or the voltage will drop giving you the same no good reading.
I had one of those given to me because of that problem and I shocked it back to life with a car battery and jumper cables, all lithium batteries will do that if you let them go completely dead
Battery on the older models were long cylinder and can be replaced very cheaply by stacking 4 ‘C’ batteries (@ 1.5v ea. for a working 6.0v)... as seen years ago on YT. Likely could rig 2 sets of 2 ‘C’ batteries side-by-side for these.
I have issues with the charger saying the battery is fully charged. Checking the voltage it shows 6 volts. But when in use I only get a couple of nails in and the battery dies. Idea for a project - see if I can convert an old battery carcase to hold four AA batteries. If this works I will have a new job in my retirement - flogging lithium packs for old Paslodes :-)

Thank you for taking time to post this video you saved me day and money
Did what you shown and restored 4 battery’s that I was ready to throw away 🛠
Thank you. I'm in the middle of a project and only had 1 battery which wouldn't charge. Put my car charger on it and 'presto', batter started charging in paslode charger.
Well done my friend! The LOWE'S near me wants $80.00 apiece. I always keep 2 batteries for any battery tool. Thank you.
That was friggin awesome man, had 2 X stuffed batteries, did what you said and it worked a treat!
Thanks mate
Thanks Pal,I’m going to try with my motorcycle trickle charger.This battery has very low usage.scene one take two…….Worked like a champ!,,,
I watched this video after buying two new batteries I tried it and it did work now I have three good batteries great tip
so glad it helped you thanks for letting me know it help someone else its why I make them.
Worked exactly as demonstrated-thanks!
Your welcome
Charger blinked just like yours, followed your instructions and it worked just like yours, charging as I type right now! 😉
Thanks so much!
This worked like a champ! My battery was at dead 0 volts. This resurrected the battery
Thank you
You Sir are a leg end. 3 working batteries brought back to life. Thank you. 👍🕺🎉
Wow! Thanks a lot bro. It worked. Those batteries are $64.00 a pop at Home Depot. Thx again!
no problem! also i ordered a 18$ one from china off ebay it works great as well just in case you want a back up..
junktinker I charged up the two I have
$120 in Australia mate, saved me heaps
Thank you junktinker! It worked like a charm and saved me $. Now I need to go see what other nifty tricks you have to offer :)
just tried this myself, save me from buying a new battery. Thanks
Just gave this a go. 10secs on a 12v car battery charger, all I had....did the trick.
Worked awesome for me. Thanks for sharing this tip.
My guns sit for months at a time,this is great , definitely useful info ,thanks for sharing
Thank you so much. This was my exact problem. You saved me money as well. I really appreciate you for this video.
thank you so much for this video, just saved me $60!

Bloody brilliant!! It worked!!

thanks for this tip. I'm a battery dummy and might have done that!

Gonna give this a go later, thanks
Great Scot... It Worked.! , it worked.
Thank you so much for this tip!
Worked great thank you !!
Pay it forward bro ....Thank you...

Well I'll be f----d 😮 just about to buy batteries myself .
Would I be able to use a 12v 3amp charger to do this?
I would not do it but it’s your battery. If your just going to trash the battery you might as well try it but it should be done on the 6v setting.
Thanks it’s charging now. Butnow wonder what type of run time the battery will have once charged? Any idea
