    Bauer tool battery pack charging with a HERCULES charger modification

    The Bauer power tool battery charger just has to many issues with the charger over heating because I several HERCULES Hercules battery chargers that are 3 amp charge and because they have gone on quite a few times over the years before they came out with the fan cooling battery charger I going to modify one so I can charge Bauer battery packs faster than the crape battery charger that they have

    Here is how this modification is going to be done I taking a 1.5 amp hour battery enclosure and gutting it removing the battery cells and replacing some Ryobi 1.5 amp hour battery pack that the battery cells when bad

    Taking the BMS protection /switching power supply board from the Bauer charger and wiring it up to 2 amp hour battery pack from Hercules enclosure and be able to charge both brands of battery packs with one charger

    I will post some pictures when I am finished with this project

    ASUS X54H laptop thinks it's always charging even with charger unplugged
    by flat-earther
    The charging indicator light on my ASUS X54H laptop is always on even when the charger is disconnected.

    Windows also shows ''Plugged in'' when charger is not connected.

    This problem started year ago gradually, when unplugging the charger the charging light took several seconds to disappear, then minutes, and now almost always on even when unplugged for an entire day.
    Strangely, before sometimes immediately when plugging in the charger the charging light went away, and later came back with it connected.
    If I let battery run out and say it has 3% Windows will...

    Ryobi 36V (aka 40V) 6Ah Faulty Battery Pack
    by brispuss
    Purchased a Ryobi 36V 6Ah battery pack maybe just over a year ago.

    Battery pack had been used on about 3 or 4 occasions for powering a cordless lawnmower. I was wanting to use this battery pack again recently, but on checking the battery charge state via the battery pack test button, there was no LED indication at all of charge state which suggested the pack was fully discharged.

    I found this to be odd as I usually fully recharge battery packs shortly after use. So either the pack developed some sort of fault which completely discharged the pack cells (after recharging),...

    Milwaukee M18 HD12.0 (12 amp hour battery pack) unbalanced failure charger refusing
    by sam_sam_sam
    I have two Milwaukee 12 amp hours battery packs that have an issue with battery cells very unbalanced these are probably over 4 years old and been heavily used in the past but now get occasionally used heavily and when I went to use the grinder tool the battery lost battery battery power very quickly so I decided to open it up and found some battery cells voltage from 3.6 to 4.1 no wonder the battery charger was not fully charging them 3 out of 4 LEDs were on meaning that it was only 75% charged

    So I have put them on the battery testing machine to drain each battery cell down to...

    Lenovo T460 Only Charges on One Charger
    by motormayhem
    Laptop Question
    Hello,
    I'm working on a Lenovo T460 that has been having trouble charging as of late. Its worked well since I've owned it for a few years. When I went to use it the other day it was dead and wouldn't turn on (was sitting on an Anker 65W GaN charger). After some fiddling with the charger I got it to turn on and start charging, but seemed like the charger was not working as it should (took a few plug and unplug cycles to get it to start charging).

    A day later it was dead again and wouldn't boot/charge no matter what I did. No lights or anything when...

    Bosch 12V and 18V chargers modification
    by Petr0x
    Hi, I would like to share with you small modification to your Bosch tool 12V and 18V chargers.

    You can use it for almost all Bosch chargers what I have seen, for example part numbers GAL 18V-20, GAL 18V-40, GAL 1880, GAL 18V-160, AL 1820, AL1115CV, AL1130CV.

    Bosch (today also other brands using the same system like Wurth, Fein) does not care if you destroy your batteries, because they can sell you new ones. So the marketing is telling you only about speed of the charging, so you will not wait for your batteries to charge too long. Me as a customer want the tools and batteries...
