    been doing this for years, when a battery pack quits charging it is usually just one battery maybe two that causes the issue. harvest the good cells to fix other battery packs or make bigger battery packs. great video 👍

    I like the Milwaukee 12V line, I find them to last pretty long. I also have backups in the charger which is 10 feet away. I like the fact that I can replace them for about $40 for 2 batteries every 2.5 years. Those big batteries would be good for outdoor jobs like battery powered chainsawing.

    Worth emphasizing for newbies, since you show a tin of paste flux open: do NOT use plumber's flux. Plumber's flux is acid flux. Make sure you get rosin flux, as used for all electronics. Acid flux is still available, still around, and it's easy to mistake one for the other visibly. Likewise, if you are using flux core solder, make sure it is rosin core, not acid core. I'd bet there are thousands of toolkits/toolboxes of "dad's plumbing stuff" with acid core flux hanging around the garages and cellars of many a family. Likewise, lead-based soft solders are best (ventilate!), as they melt at lower temperature than lead-free solders, lessening the chance of damaging the battery. Wiping the iron's tip to expose a shiny surface will improve heat transfer speed compared to soldering with a dirty soldering iron tip, also lessening the time spent heating the battery.

It hadn't occurred to me to open bad drill batteries. I had a few been sitting for years and when I opened them a majority of the cells were 3.5v or better. You said in another video that makita has a self brick thing if it fails to charge a few times in a row.

    I'm a bit confused on the balance charging? Are you just wiring it in parallel with another set of balance wires? How does it effect charging?

    • @therealjammit
      @therealjammit 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Old comment but I'll respond:
      If you hook all the batteries in parallel, you charge them all up at the same time. If there is a weak cell it won't be overcharged because the stronger cells are still charging. When you're finally finished charging, all the cells have the same voltage. When you re-wire them in series they'll start off with the correct voltage. If you have a series set of cells that have different voltages they aren't balanced. If you try to charge an unbalanced set of cells you have to stop charging when the first cell reaches 4.2 v, even if there's still a few cells that are low.
      On an lead acid car battery if you have a few low cells you can keep charging. You can "push" a lead battery too far. The fully charged cells will just pass extra current to the lower cells. A lead battery can be over charged and a lithium battery can't be over charged.

    Have you considered this pet project...
    Create a frankenstein 30Ah 18V (50 18650 cells) BACKPACK, with a connection port. Probably better to use 40 21700 cells.
    Then, just create a 600-900mm cable into your powertool.
    That way, you can run all branded power tools off the one back, just with their own lightweight cable, keeping the weight down to near skin-only.
    Better, with 30Ah, you're just not going to see voltage sag and you could go a whole day without changing batteries, no matter what brand tools you use.
    And, being a proof of concept backpack, it doesn't need to look premium bespoke pretty, rather just chonky-powerful.

  • @Iowa599
    @Iowa599 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Lol. More rows can deliver more amps, but the tool may not handle it!
    It's pretty weird, but sometimes the battery helps by preventing high current by dropping voltage, which prevents wattage the motor can't take!
    IE: my 14.4v Dewalt drill became corded…when the battery was toast I replaced the cells with a 20' long cable that ended in battery clamps that I hooked on to a car's battery. Since the lead acid was ~500cca the drill got all it asked for, but couldn't cool for it, & the magic smoke escaped!

    • @sixtyfiveford
      @sixtyfiveford  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's actually just the opposite. A motor won't pull more amps than it needs. However with lower voltage comes higher amps and that's where the excess heat is created. We'll use your scenario for example. A 14.4v drill may pull 40amps under moderate load or 576watts(volts x amps). Now drop that voltage to a 12.6v car battery and run it through 12awg cord and your only going to get around 9-10volts under load. This means to deliver the 576watts the motor needs around 60amps to do the same work. That's where your heat comes from.
      Now real world with these batteries. I smoked and melted the brush holders out of my drill and twice out of my angle grinder as the voltage under load drops so much. Since running the angle grinder on a 8ah 4row pack for over a year now it has never even got close to overheating.

    Great idea and great video.
    It's worthwhile to mention that you're doubling the capacity of the tools and not the output, in case anyone may be confused. These are still 18/20v packs and so are bound by that limit.

    • @sixtyfiveford
      @sixtyfiveford  4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Actually Yes and no. You aren't increasing the voltage but you are the available amperage. Each 5 cell series set can deliver around 15-30amps depending on the cell characteristics. So having 4 parallel series sets gives you 60-120 of amp draw capability vs a standard 2 parallel pack that only has 30-60amps. The shared load over 4 parallel 5 series cell sets mean there is less voltage drop so the tool operates at a higher voltage for longer. This equals a more powerful tool, less heat inside tool which means longer tool life, cooler running batteries and longer life span for the battery cells themselves.

    • @jojopojo9516
      @jojopojo9516 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@sixtyfiveford I suppose the discrepancy here is in how we are describing power. What you said is right. A bigger battery pack allows operation at a useful voltage for longer but that, to me, is capacity and not output.
      No matter how big the battery pack, the unit is still bound by the design of its internals. If the unit is rated at, say, 30,000 rpms, a bigger battery doesn't change that, only that it can operate at its rated rpm for longer. To me, if something is twice as powerful, I'm thinking specific output (rpms or whichever metric) and not time, though it's technically not wrong to say something is twice as powerful if it lasts twice as long.
      Anyway, I'm enjoying the channel. It's insightful and fun.

    • @sixtyfiveford
      @sixtyfiveford  4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @@jojopojo9516 I agree with what you are saying. The thing is the voltage is not constant and changes under load. So 18/20 volt battery are 100% identical and at full charge they're 20 volts, nominal their 18 volts and dead is around 15 16 volts. If you throw a single series row pack on the tool fully charged it would probably drop down to about 15-16 volts under full load. You would see a decrease in tool performance almost by half. A double series pack would drop down to around 17-18 volts under load as you have two banks sharing the draw. Now you take a four series pack where four banks are sharing the load and your voltage is going to stay right at that 19 volts and easily be able to deliver twice the power and RPM to the tool under load vs a single series pack.
      For example I can take my Makita or Milwaukee cordless ratchet (both 12 volt) and test the no load RPM. The Makita at full 12 v spins at nearly 800 rpms and when the battery pack drops to the low side of around 8 volts it spins at 400 RPMs. At the nominal voltage of 10.8 volts It's hovering around 600 right in the middle. The Milwaukee does the same going from 200 RPMs down to about 100. This is common with all tools brushed or brushless.

      It really depends on the cells. Not all 18650 cells are the same. Some are High Discharge like we need in power tools and some are standard/low discharge. A typical 18650 lithium cell can deliver around 5 amps of constant current where a high discharge can be as high as 40amps. You could wire enough standard discharge in parallel to deliver 30-40amps but that would be 6-8 rows of 5 in series or 30-40 total batteries. The standard/low discharge cells have a longer life overall as less heat is put into them through cycling, so I would assume this is what cars are using.

    Having the fat handle may not be great, but having the ability to put one of those little 2ah batteries in can really help in a tight spot where you don’t have the room for some big honkin’ club-footed tool. It’s actually the reason I like 12v as opposed to 18-20v tools whenever I don’t need the extra power.

    You can buy a 12v battery powered spot welder made for spot welding the tabs to the end of cells for about 28$ on ebay or amazon. You can power the spot welder off of a car battery or a 12v lipo, one of the high discharge RC type packs.

    • @sixtyfiveford

    • @sixtyfiveford
      @sixtyfiveford  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Power tools require high drain cells(generally 18650 with 15-30amp continuous discharge rate) which sell for $4-$8 a piece individually. Not cheap. The cheapest and easiest way to buy them is in premade power tool packs. So buying a Ryobi or other lower end battery when on sale you can get High Drain cells for around $2-3 a cell. And they are already linked together into a brick. When you start shopping around, even directly from China you realize tool companies really aren't gouging for batteries as much as it feels like. Samsung, Sanyo/Panasonic and LG are the main battery manufactures and put out good products. There are a lot of off brands that put out cells with fake stats that will never come close to performing.

      Yes. You just need to spend a little time sketching out the wireing lineup but it will be a simple piggy back. When in 20v mode it is using 5 cells in series and 3 parallel sets. In 60v mode it just divides those 3 parallel sets so you have 3 x 20v 5 cell packs =60volts

    i prefer the Milwaukee m12 design to the other brands, i find it gives a much better form factor/access, the flat style 12v seem just as bulky as the 18v lines, that 3/8" stubby is my next purchase for sure, with the smaller batteries that thing will get almost anywhere your hand will fit and with enough power to snap off 5/16" bolts

    • @sixtyfiveford
      @sixtyfiveford  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The 3/8 stubby is awesome but it is pretty dull with the 1.5-2ah batteries. It's way to head heavy and the impact blows are severely weakened without having the weight/leverage of a larger pack on the base.

I have been doing this for some time now but never thought to add cells.... I would just get high output cells at the highest milliamp available (3200 I believe) anyway do you happen to know if the circuitry is capable of interchanging with the 21700? The housing is not an issue I’m going to custom print my own
    Edit: I just got to the portion of the video where you mentioned a case for your batteries I’d be totally willing to trade work for that if you’re interested?

    • @sixtyfiveford
      @sixtyfiveford  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      The 21700, 20700 and 18650 can all use the same circuitry. So you could simply wire 21700 in place. I will say there are a TON of fake cells out there and you should only buy Samsung, Sanyo, LG, Panasonic or Sony. Everything else has bogus ratings for the most part. You will find the cheapest way to buy them is by buying them in a premade battery pack and not separately. Some of the cheaper packs like KOBALT 24v have good Samsung 20R cells. Ryobi HP battery packs are using a brand called EVE which there is little info on, but they trust them enough to use them. I just bought a bunch of 3.0ah High Output Milwaukee packs and they have the Samsung 30T 21700 and I'll be making a 12ah or 15ah pack.
      Ideally you want the total pack discharge to be over 40amps. So you could buy lower discharge rate cells at around 10amp continuous and use those in a 5s4p 18v/20v pack.
