    12 volt Ridgid battery charger saying battery bad with no battery in charger

    When the power blinked the battery charger when stupid the red and green LED lights flashing

    Replaced the following capacitors

    1uf@50 volts one
    10uf@50 volts one
    47uf@50 volts one
    100uf@ 35 volts one
    100uf@ 16 volts two

    Now the battery charger works again the way it should

      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...

      Highly Integrated Narrow VDC Battery Charger for Notebook Computers

      The ISL6257HRZ ISL6257HRZ-T is a highly integrated battery charger controller
      for Li-Ion/Li-Ion polymer batteries. ISL6257 is designed for
      Narrow VDC applications where the system power source is
      either the battery pack or the regulated output of the charger.
      This makes the max voltage to the system equal to the max
      battery voltage instead of the max adapter voltage. Operating
      at lower system voltage can improve...

      how to prevent a connected charger from draining battery when not charging?
      by flat-earther
      I have an RC radio handset(Taranis QX7) which doesn't have internal battery charger which means I had to remove the battery every time I needed to charge it.
      So to improve it, I added a 15W USB-C charger board(link) inside and soldered it to the same connector on the PCB where the battery plugs into, great, now I can simply charge it with a USB-C cable.

      but the problem I found is that after the radio sat for two weeks without being used the 2S 18650 battery that I'm using was at 4.2V!
      So the battery is backfeeding the charger and being drained.

      How can I prevent...

      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...

      Bauer tool battery pack charging with a HERCULES charger modification
      by sam_sam_sam
      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...
