    24v li-ion battery jump

    I have a drill battery that is beyond dead, from sitting about a year. It in its sleep mode, charger will not accept the battery cause voltage is low. I have in the past jumped some lithium r/c packs and it worked great. I know lithium batteries are volatile and can explode if overcharged, but I am fully experienced with electronics and feel I can do this. How would I go about getting around 40volts to do this?

    Are you trying to zap this 24V power pack with 40V? Or you are trying to zap individual cell? The pack will more likely to have PCB with circuit to monitoring the temperature, state of charge, etc. so zapping it with 40V can damage the circuit.

      Well now that you mention it, I will probably "zap" each individual cell, not necessarily 40 volts, but high enough to "wake them up".

          Re: 24v li-ion battery jump

          i have actually had a small 90mah li-ion 1cell battery that was discharged to 0,00V, so the controller would not charge it for obvious reasons. I did apply to it some 3,8V charge from another li-ion battery, and it did charge after that. Of course the capacity was close to zero. After a day it had 2,4V on it, so it was not completely cooked, but not really usable either, ended up getting a replacement (160mAh) one from local r/c store for a dollar or so. It was a tight fit, but it did the job. Oh and that was inside bluetooth hands-free headset

          tl;dr: if the voltage drops a little below controllers locking threshold it is safe to jump start it (you are actually fooling the controller not repairing the battery), but if it is less than two volts just deal with that and get a fresh cell pack.. Or at least a used one that is still okay ;-)

          Other thoughts:
          please do not overvolt the cell to more than 4,2V per cell. Again, in real life, if you momentarily overvolt discharged battery it with lets say 5V it is not very bad, as you don't overcharge it (because even though the supply is 5V and the battery is 2,5V the charging voltage will not be 5V - it will float between 3-4V inside discharged cell i guess) but again, that is a ghetto work and you should never leave it unattended. constantly check temp even with your finger, don't do it for longer than 1-2 minutes

            Dell E6400 PT434 type Battery Charging Stuck at 1%. Battery Pinouts?
            by Bowline
            My question pertains to understanding the control circuity inside a Dell PT434 type battery used in Dell E6400, E6410 and other Dell notebooks?

            Does anyone have a circuit diagram for the inside of a Dell PT434 battery and/or a description of how the control lines work to control this battery?

            My reason for asking is I have a battery which I cannot get to charge beyond 1% in a Dell E6410 or E6400.
            The LED bar graph charge indicator on the battery shows one LED lighted when the info button is pressed.
            I have tried multiple different Dell power adapters. My Dell...

            ASUS X571 no power : battery issue?
            by mkdj
            Hello everyone,

            Mark and model: ASUS X571
            Symptoms: not turning on. There is only the LED battery indicator working. The owner of the laptop told me this problem arrived one week after having changed the battery. He then managed to power on the laptop only once, and then it never powered on again.

            Tests already made:
            - Battery is charging when laptop is plugged in. The LED battery indicator turns white after a couple of hours of charge, indicating that battery is fully charged. However, laptop won't turn on anyway, with or without AC plug.
            - I have removed...

            Vostro 3400 (LA-K033P) won't charge battery, everything else ok
            by techfreak9356
            I bought a Vostro 3400 motherboard (LA-K033P) to upgrade over my damaged Inspiron 5593 (LA-J091P) board. Everything else is ok except for the battery. This battery I am using now is already a replacement one since I disposed of the bloated original one. Back in the Inspiron 5593 motherboard, the battery charges fine and is identified just fine. However, with the upgraded motherboard, suddenly the replacement battery is labeled as "Not a dell battery". When I borrow a similar battery from my colleague (which did not have replacements yet), it is identified and charges just fine.

            ISL88739AHRZ ISL88739 Laptop Battery Charger Datasheet
            by Document Archive
            The ISL88739 & ISL88739AHRZ are a highly versatile combo battery charger
            configurable for operating as either a Hybrid Power Boost (HPB)
            charger or a Narrow VDC (NVDC) charger, supporting 2-, 3-, or
            4-cell batteries. Both configurations allow the battery to work with
            the adapter together to supply the system load when it exceeds
            the adapter capability, referred to as system Turbo mode. HPB
            charger configuration reverse-boosts battery energy to the system
            bus to help the adapter provide the system power in Turbo mode.
            NVDC charger configuration...

            Strange battery present behaviour in Lenovo Legion 5-15ARH05 mb model nm-d041
            by ferah831208
            Hello guys, i need help with this problem, I have a NM-D041 mobo, it came with low impedance in 3v linear regulator rail, the cause was a damaged EC controller ITE8227e-192. I ordered a new one and replaced it. This laptop have a different chip for keyboard management and it8227e pins for programming ITE chips are not accesible through keyboard interface, I flashed it using i2c interface pins with vertyanov programmer because laptop was dead and SPI flash didn't have power (only 3v EC) so it couldn't access firmware stored in SPI memory. I read SPI and extracted it8227 firmware from original BIOS...
