How to FIX CAMERA BATTERY not Charging

- Did you completely drain your camera battery and now it won't charge? This is a potential fix that worked for me. If you don't have the same battery you can use other power supplies/chargers or batteries to bring life back to your dead battery.

Thank you so much, you just spared me from having to buy a replacement battery for my Canon G9. I used three AA batteries and RCA cables as makeshift wires, and it worked like a charm.
That's great to hear. And it's good to know that your diy solution also worked!
OMG.... you are really genius. I tried on Nikon EN-EL 15, I succeed after 3-4 attempts, its working perfectly fine. Thank you so much.
I'm happy to hear that you got your battery back up and running
So basically it's the charger that refuses to charge if the terminal voltage drops below a threshold. ~2V in this case happened to be below the threshold so the charger wasn't doing anything. You bypassed the charger logic and forced it to accept charge from another battery for a few seconds.. and voila, terminal voltage at least temporarily went above the threshold and charger started charging again. I am going to try on my Lumix S1 battery and let you know how it goes. I don't have a multimeter though, so I will just connect the batteries in parallel.
That is exactly it, you did a better explanation than I did. As for why that happens, battery chargers have some kind of a failsafe to prevent either damage to your devices or missuse.
Worked great for my Artman LP-E17 batteries. Flashing red lights on the charger. I hadn't used them in a year. This brought them back to life. Thanks!
That is great to hear. You should use them more frequently so they don't dry up!
I just tried this with a bad Olympus Li-10B battery, in 20 seconds it went from 0.2 to 3.1 volt and now it is charging. Thank you for showing this method.
I'm happy to hear that you got your battery back up and charging.
Just remember, if a battery reaches a very low charge level then this method will not work. An example that I can give is a 18V drill battery, I managed to bring it to life once with this method, but then some one drained it too much and even this method didn't help and the battery had to be disposed.
Worked for my Fujifilm XA3 batteries! Thank you so much!
That's what I like to hear. Happy filming/photo shooting
Worked for my Fujifilm XT4's batteries. Thanks a lot 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I'm happy to hear that it worked for you
This worked for my Fuji X100V battery! Thanks a bunch sir
That's great to hear!
worked for me , manythanks!
That is great to hear
I used the 5 AA and my 2 test leads for my old cannon lithium. I can’t believe that worked. It’s charging now!
That's great to hear. I hope it serves you for a long time!
holy shit thank you very much! i revived an old 6V battery with a usb cable and a 5V 1A supply
That is a little bit strange but it's great to hear that it worked for you even with a lower voltage. So thank you for sharing your experience.
OMG.. it worked for me with Nikon ML battery.. holy cow
I'm going to try it on my xa11 batteries...hope it works for me. Thanks
I hope you had success with your batteries
Genius...worked for me.....nust subscribed......👍👌
I'm happy it worked for you
So how would you use the batteries? You have them neg to pos with cables at the end connecting to the camera battery?
Let's see if I understand you correctly, you want to power the camera with the battery using cables, like a dummy battery of sorts?
If that is the case then you could probably do that with cables if you managed to hook them or fix them to the camera pins. However, some cameras have 4 pins. One pin is for displaying battery level, you don't need to connect this pin, but the other pin is for battery temperature - you need to connect a resistor to it. Assuming that works, the camera also needs a hole of some sorts for the cables to go out to the battery or external power supply.
If I misunderstood, please explain a bit more what you meant. As for the connections, you always connect negative to negative and positive to positive, even if you are using cables.
Thank work worked perfectly!!
That's great to hear!
@@JackallDigital honestly could not have worked better, thank you 🙏
This is great, thank you!
I'm happy to hear that!
That's genius 🤯🤯 thank's
You're welcome :)
Worked for panasonic pv-l559
That's great news, thanks for sharing
Gonna try this on one of my lumixs1 batteries that's not charging and hopefully it will work..what kind of wires did you use.?
I had a short piece of multi strand wire that had solder on the ends. It doesn't matter if it is a single core wire or a wire with multiple copper strands. The only thing that you need to make sure is that you have a good contact on the batteries and that the wire is not too long.
hi, how can i do the same to lp-e5 because this battery has different connector so I can't just plug wires in them
I see that the terminals for this battery don't have easy access. If you have some wire that you could put in that would be the best. The second option would be to use some metal strips - you could use aluminium foil. Third option would be to take a thicker copper wire and hammer the end of it down to get a "plate".
@@JackallDigital thank you so much, I'll try it right now!
@mips693 if you use the foil don't forget to fold it a few times so it's thicker and easier to work with
@@JackallDigital noted!
@@JackallDigital no, nothing helped, I've tried everything but unfortunately, but thank you for a help!
Hi, what kind of cables do I need?
There is nothing specific about the cables, maybe the only thing is that the wires are thick and firm enough for you to hold on the contacts
Does this work for NPF batteries?
I don't have any experience with NPF batteries, but if it is empty and not charging then you have nothing to lose by trying this out. For a good measure you could do it outside in case you'd need to throw the battery into an open space.
almost lost hope ty man
Never lose hope, and your batteries :)
But whats happened with other battery ?
One battery was good and the other was not. I used the good battery to bring the faulty one back to life. Similarly to how one can jump start a car battery. Both batteries still work just fine to this day.
