    Dell Laptop Battery 6T473

    Anyone ever rebuilt a Dell battery pack?

    I am trying to rebuild a 12 cell unit. I have checked each replacement cell and they test good. When testing it in the computer (Inspiron 1100) it gives the famous flashing yellow light. I have triple checked connections and it reads 14.5+V as it should. Does the small circuit board in the battery pack have some type of memory that needs to be reset or something?

      Yes. It has eprom chip that writing every cycle in its own memory. Cycles are counting and cells information every cycle is updated in eprom memory. When cycles count reaches some limit then you can receive a flashing yelow light.
      To refresh battery pack you have to reset (do programming) that eprom with new dump (reseted dump) also replacing baterry cells is highly recommended.

          Any idea what I need to reset (reprogram) it? Here are some pics if it helps.

                  This battery is based on trio of BQ29310 , BQ8011 (first pic) and 24C01 (second picture on left). 24C01 is the eeprom that should be removed and reprogrammed in external programmer. Remember about proper battery capacity saved in reseted dump...

                      Looks like this will be more of a job than I want to mess with. I guess I should look for someone that rebuilds these things and see what they would charge me to rebuild mine.

                              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...

                              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),...

                              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...

                              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...

                              I have acer laptop tmx314-51 with part no 6050A3020501.
                              The laptop is working fine on adapter and battery is also charging and when adapter is disconnected in on state the laptop gives backup on battery and gives good backup.
                              But when laptop is powered on through battery only the laptop does not power on and there is 0 voltage on battery connector.
                              I have not not tried another battery as it is not available locally could this be a battery problem.have checked discharging mosfet and there is no shorting to ground on any pin of battery connector.
