    New project for a Lipo4 based battery pack for a battery backup that I found an enclosure from Battery Hookup

    Right now Battery Hookup has these e-bike battery packs that are used but I am going to remove them and test them and see how good they are and maybe resell or reused them for another project this is for another day

    When I get the rack mounted enclosure that I mentioned in another post I will see how well they fit in the enclosure and how much room I will have left

    https://batteryhookup.com/products/3...ttery-with-bms

    These battery packs are a little bit hard to get out of the enclosure because they were a little bit glue happy who ever does this or a robot was a little bit messy when doing it but you need a plastic prying tool to separate the glue from the enclosure and then use the handle of prying tool to push out the battery pack out of the enclosure

    The plan is two buy a couple more of them so I can make a 7s battery pack and fill in the space with more parallel battery cells

    I tested one battery out of one of these battery packs and it testing virtually new which I am a little bit surprised because the battery pack enclosure is a little bit rough looking I think I might have a project in mind for these batteries at least some of them anyway

    I going to build a battery pack for my iPad in a plastic enclosure that is almost the same size as the iPad use a little Velcro one the tablet and a little bit on the battery pack to keep them together when needed and I think these battery cells will work just fine for this application

    Now I going to have to modify the front of this battery pack enclosure so that I can hook up two battery pack enclosure that are going to be next to each other and I have to have space for the mounting the battery enclosures in the rack mounted enclosure

      I have not given up on this project but I going to buy a couple more of these battery pack enclosures for my battery backup project I finally found some BMS protection boards that are made for 24 volt battery backups for Lipo 4 battery packs which I going to buy a couple of and wait a month to get them

      Here is the BMS board that I am referring to

      Here is another BMS protection board for 6 volt for a 6 volt lantern battery pack which I going to buy and use it in the lantern light

        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),...

        NTE Electronics “NTE5251K” Zener Diode 9.1V @ 50W Do-5.5% Want to build a 9.1 output from a 9.6 lipo4 battery pack
        by sam_sam_sam
        I have bought this Zener Diode for this project what size and wattage resistor value do I need to use to get near 50 watt output
        I bought this from an eBay seller but unfortunately they only had one

        I bought three from Vetco Electronics these are Sylvania ECG5185A 9.1@10w A to Stud what size and watt resistor do I need to use to get near 10 watt output
        I bought three of from them to also make battery packs with this output power limit in mind

        I want to use this battery pack and turn it into a 9.1 output battery pack output to eliminate using 9 volt battery...

        How can I charge that battery pack?
        by razenxd
        Hello,
        it's not a laptop/desktop related question but I figured that someone here will have the right knowledge.
        At work we use a few Aldebaran(now Softbank/United Robotics group) Nao Robots which they use some custom 6S li-on battery packs.
        Nao robots tends to draw from the battery even if they are shut down, and the BMS tends to be a little aggresive, if the pack stays on a turned off robot for 3 months it's gonna lock and will refuse to charge.

        Now, I have noticed a few things.
        The "dead" battery, while connected to charger and NOT Charging will...

        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...

        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...
