Are Power Tool Battery Packs Fixable? Let's Find Out!

- čas přidán 29. 02. 2024
- In this video I'm working on fixing something I haven't fixed before - 2 broken power tool battery packs. Since sometimes the battery is the post expensive part of a power tool it would be great if they were fixable. One is a DeWALT 20V Max Lithium Ion 5 AH battery and the other is Milwaukie 18V 2AH battery pack.

I know a lot has already been said at this point so I'd like to simply say thank you. I look forward to you and your teams videos and am excited to see new content. I'm getting older and there aren't a lot of channels out there anymore I look forward to seeing new uploads. You've scratched that niche interest for me and kept me entertained for years.
Hearing you talk about what you're going through in the same casual tone as all your other videos broke my heart a little. I also recognize that you're processing this in the best way for you, while trying to keep your community informed and entertained. I respect that a lot. Again, thank you.
Thank you for your support! I can't tell you how much you and others positive comments mean to me. It makes everything just a little easier!
Also, so glad you like these videos. I enjoy making them so it's great knowing that people like watching.
God bless you
Sorry to hear about your health problems you've helped me fix a few problems with my tech and hope you get better my heart goes out to you and yours
I missed you Tronixfix
Big respect to @ccbbaaron for that donation and comment.
100% agree btw. You’re one of the few CZcamsrs who still inspire and people love watching you.
You’re doing great!
Hodgkins lymphoma survivor here. The process it tough but doable. Honestly your videos helped get me through my treatment. Best wishes for your treatment.
I’ve just undergone chemo and radiotherapy for cancer of the neck and throat! I’m still here! You got this! Good luck!
my father beat Lymphoma, Bone cancer and prostate cancer all within 10 years.
Hes fully recovered and doing very well!
You got this dude!
I don't really ever Comment on CZcams videos but I just want to say that the level of respect I have for you is immense. Not only are you battling one of the hardest battles human species has had to face your still putting out videos like a TANK! You inspire not only me but all of us who love you and what you do. You have inspired an entire generation to preserve the media we grew up with and treat it with the respect it deserves. Thank you for being you ❤
Steve, I don't care what you look like, you're a good guy and an electronics badass. You have the right to repair yourself too! Best wishes and good luck with treatment and recovery.
I think its all been said already, but thank you for all the entertainment over the years and the community is here for you. Stay strong :)
Thank you! Really appreciate your support
Steve! I cannot express how much you have changed my outlook on small electronics repairs. I hope for the best in your recovery.
Good luck on your treatment! I was diagnosed with nonhodgkins lymphoma when I was 11 and have been cancer free for 17 years. You got this!
Much love bro, my wife (34y.o) is battling triple negative breast cancer. She JUST finished 6months of intensive chemo last week (not out of the woods yet). You got this mate 💪 positive attitude, plenty of rest, but keep your mind active. Sending love from Australia
Hey steve. It’s very rare I post comments on CZcams I just watch and like but I had to let you know I’m thinking of you and wishing you good health! Countless hours of knowledge and entertainment have come from you and you massively nurtured my passion for repairs! so thanks so much! Take care man❤
Hi, Steve! I'm sorry to hear about your health! Don't worry, I'm sure everything is gone be fine soon! My wife already had lymphoma, was a dificult time, but today, 5 year later she's doing great, we have a 9 months old daughter! I will be cheering for your health! Love your videos man! A big hugh from Brasil!
Take all the time in the world sir. Your health is far more important than a weekly video. As for cancer, you've got this, the world needs its best electric repairman.
Hey Steve, breast cancer survivor here, you got this and many people are here for you.
My husband loves your videos and watches all the time. He told me about your diagnosis. I'm adding your to my prayer list and will continue to pray for your recovery. May God give your peace and courage. Keep that positive attitude! 🙏🏻
Steve, my wife and I love your videos and were shocked to hear of your diagnosis. Best of luck with your treatment. We will be praying for you and your wife, and always wishing the best for you guys!
Hi Steve, I work at Batteries Plus. I've done a lot of repairs on drill batteries and rebuilt them as well. For your DeWalt battery, the minimum voltage for the charger to recognize it needs to be charged would be 16 volts to about 15.5. This is because it has multiple different batteries in it and those batteries are 18650s. Each one of those batteries have a 3.7 volt charge. 18650s minimum voltage required to charge would be around 2.5 volts. Multiplying that by how many batteries it has gives you the minimum requirement for the charger to recognize it needs to be charged
Do you guys repair Packs with 18650's or larger lithium cells at your batteries plus? Cuz all we used to do at the one I worked at were the Ni-CD and Ni-MH ones.
@@UpintheAir1395 Hey man! My store doesn't work on the lithium packs due to the possibility of there being damaged lithium and shorting out the electronic causing the batteries to overload. I am just familiar with the packs because I use 18650s for other purposes.
I'm shocked that an electronics guy gave up on fixing a battery, or heck, even put it back on the charger, without checking the voltages of the individual cells. Milwaukee in particular might just flip a switch in software and say "never try to charge this again" after a couple failures. 14.5V means nothing if that's 3.6v per cells on 4 cells, and one cell at zero. Or... just try to charge up the weak cells manually and see if they take some energy. It's so simple and he didn't even check!
I have fixed over a dozen old batteries some with water damage etc. only see one bad board surprisingly. Red green one was definitely like Jesse said low voltage. I usually balance charge the cells first to at least 3.5 volts so they all match. If one cell is very weak I usually replace it which is a pain. That spot welder you have doesn’t seem very strong. Mine was cheap under $40 and will melt those nickel strips like butter if I don’t watch the level. I usually test before use so I don’t melt something I need lol.
@@MattsAwesomeStuffThis guy is used to fixing circuitboards on ps5:s, xbox:es and so on. Not fixing batterypacks for powertools. This was a spinoff-video so you can't blame him for not having knowledge about these type of repairs.
I can still remember when my mother had to go through her Treatments too. And you are a strong mind person.
I will be praying for your quickly recovery. God bless you.
And your family..
I wish you the best Steve for the upcoming months.
It shocked me hearing this about your health, but you'll beat this terrible illness.
Thanks for sharing.
Love your videos, Being an electrician with minimal electronics experience I was able to fix a couple of Nintendo switches and a playstation 4 pro after watching your CZcams. I am a 3 time cancer survivor with the last one being stage 4. The cure is rough but 8 years later I am still here. You got this Steve!
With the amount of things you fix Steve, you will 100% fix your body. Good health and great video buddy.
I’m so sorry to hear about your health. You have been so calming, so insightful, and very clear in every video. May you recover Steve!
man, sorry to hear about your diagnosis. prayers to you man. you have been an inspiration for me to repair things instead of throwing them away. I really enjoy watching all of your content. I pray you get better.
I had my prostate removed 15 months ago because I had cancer. It was like someone hit me with a bat when they told me. I was worried because I did not know how the future was going to be. The best news was that it had not spread and I wish the same for you. I have been getting my PSA checked so that my count does not start going back up. God bless you and stay positive. You will get thru this.
Steve, I went through a pretty rough radiation + chemo regime last year, and keeping focused on work and hobbies was a nice distraction and definitely healthier than just curling up into a ball and feeling sorry for myself. So it's good to see that you're still making content. Take care of your mental and physical health, and be sure to kick cancer's ass.
Thanks for the comment! I don’t have to go through radiation so I’m thankful for that. You keep your chin up too!
I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis. Your videos are something I look forward to. Godspeed on your recovery.
Thank you for your health update, I pray the best for you and your family and for many more repair videos in the years to come!
Just wanted to say that I’m praying for you and your family. Jesus loves you.
Sorry to hear about the health issues … always enjoy watching your videos. I have learned so much from you. Thinking of you and praying for your speedy recovery and health.
Wish you nothing but a smooth speedy recover from whats going on! You bring alot of joy to alot of ppl so we need you around as long as possible!
I admire your bravery and work ethic, Steve. I'm rooting for you, good sir!
You got this Steve, you will make full recovery! Been watching your videos for years already, thank you for all the amazing content you've been giving us!
Steve we love you and we're in this with you. Thanks for all that you do.
Hi Steve, I hope you resolve your health problem as soon as possible and I admire your strength of mind which shines through in your video. Your videos caught my attention for your clear and simple way of approaching repairs and have become a pleasant habit for me. I wish you best of luck.
I missed the original post where you told us that you were ill. I really enjoy watching your videos - I find them very soothing. You make it look so easy, it makes me think I can do it! (I've already fixed a remote control at work that just needed a clean with IPA!) It's rubbish that you're poorly, but great that you are being looked after and receiving treatment. I wish you and your family well, as well as wish you a speedy recovery. Thank you for all your content so far.
I wish you and your family all the best during this time. I have had several family members and close friends have cancer over the year as I'm sure we all have. Stay strong, YOU GOT THIS!!
Best of luck with your treatment Steve, love you videos as they've pushed me to keep learning micro-soldering, even when I failed many times.
You are a huge inspiration to fix my own things, it’s sucks when you can’t fix your own self but I’m sure you’re in good hands and you’ll make a quick and thorough recovery like all your fixes! Stay strong! 💪
Hi Steve, thank you very much for everything you do. Our thoughts and prayers for you and your family so you make a speedy recovery.
I’m praying for your recovery. Thank you for all your content.
Sending so much love your way and hoping for a speedy recovery. ❤
Good luck with treatment. You have taught us all so much. Thank you for everything you have done so far and will continue to do!
I found you and your channel some time ago, because I like to fix stuff and you seems to do, too. I was very sad to hear about you current health issues. I wish you all the best and fast recovery.
You got that.
Your strength and resilience during this challenging time are truly inspiring. I admire your courage in sharing your journey with others through your CZcams videos.
Remember, you're not alone in this battle. We're all rallying behind you, sending you positive vibes and love each step of the way. Your determination and positivity are incredibly powerful forces, and I have no doubt that you'll overcome this obstacle.
Take all the time you need to rest and heal, and know that whenever you're ready, we'll be here to support you in any way we can. Wishing you a speedy recovery and sending you all the healing energy in the world. Get well soon, my friend.
Good luck on your journey!

Great video! I would love to see more of these! I also so sorry to hear of your illness. I encourage to you keep faith and fight through! You got this brother!
Sending positive thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery. 🙏
Wishing you all the best for a speedy recovery!
I have a friend that had the same thing that you have.And he made a full recovery and i'm sending you my prayers, get well soon!
I'm so sorry to hear about your health issues. I truly hope the treatment works and you have a full recovery.
Hey Steve. I’ve been admiring your videos for quite a while. They are extremely informative and I appreciate your optimism on trying to fix electronics. Whereas someone who just easily gives up, you do the opposite. You get the job done. I’m in sure your health situation that you will go through every step with the same optimism. God bless. You are a rock star!!
Steve, I would first like to say you have been an inspiration to many. Love watching you videos as I fix medical equipment for a living and love playing retro video games. My prayers go out to you, but thanks for continuing to post your videos.
God bless you Steve. Thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery and good health.
Love you Steve, I wish you the best in your recovery!
Thank you for all the great repair videos, and continuing to teach and demonstrate how to repair our devices.
Dude, I’ve been watching your channel for two years now and it really hurts me to realize that you have such a problem! Thanks to your videos, I’m learning spoken and technical English and you helped me a lot with this. I know you may not read this, but I wish you strength to go and fight this disease until recovery! Strength to you and your loved ones! Greetings from Belarus! Live long and prosper!
It's been months since I had the opportunity to watch your videos... and I want to tell you that you inspire me and that I learned like you, and you taught me a lot... It's amazing how you can change my mood from bad to good when I see you repair something and I know the feeling you get when you see it working. I know that your diagnosis is never good news, and I'm not going to lie, I usually don't believe in good energies and things like that, but if they exist, I'm really sending you all my good vibes... a trip is not a fall... I really appreciate you and it's incredible how a video of you on a bad day can change so many things. My best wishes from Argentina, sorry for my rustic English, I understand a lot, but I speak little...
Since I was a kid I always love repairing stuff that I find around my house. sometimes I fix it sometimes I don't have the tool or I just screwd up. When I find out your channel I'm ımmediately become a fan of your videos and your works. İt is sad to hear this situation but I m pretty sure you can get through it !! I hope you get better quickly. Best wishes from turkey 😊❤
Wishing you the very best of luck with your treatments, Steve. Fingers crossed for speedy recovery.
Stay strong, fight it.
You obviously love your hobby which comes across on camera. Your always a great watch.
