Introduction: HOW TO REPAIR LAPTOP BATTERY ?
HELLO MY FELLOW !
I AM WAQAR
here, i will show you how to repair your laptop battery for very cheap at home.
+WHY ?
The laptop batteries consists of lithium cell which are called 18650 cells
they are not eternal
they have life period of about 2 years
+WHEN TO REPAIR ?
when you see your laptop is charged fully but does not last even half an hour or less.
which means the cells inside the battery are dead.
Step 1: REQUIREMENTS
-1 old dead laptop battery from laptop repair shop
-1 your laptop battery (which you want to repair)
some wire & tools like wire cutter etc...
and also some electric tape
Step 2: OPEN THE OLD DEAD BATTERY
Use some tools to open the laptop battery without damaging the battery box
because the box will be used later.
Step 3: GET THE 6 CELLS OUT FROM OLD DEAD BATTERY
Take out the 6 cells which are in 2-2 parallel connection.
(don't break the parallel connection but cut the series connection)
Step 4: TAKE OUT YOUR MULTIMETER & CHECK THE VOLTAGE
THIS step is very important !
generally 3.6 or above volt batteries are good below this voltage are the bad ones
voltage test is just temporary solution for the capacity check of 18650 cells
i recommend to use imax b6 charger for capacity test.
JUST GET 6 GOOD (18650) LITHIUM CELLS OR BUY THEM FROM AMAZON OR EBAY
Step 5: NOW CONNECT CELLS IN SERIES CONNECTION
BY using some wire connect all cell in series connection
just check the overall voltage of battery pack
it should be around 12 volts .
Step 6: NOW OPEN YOUR ORIGINAL LAPTOP BATTERY
JUST open your original laptop battery and throw the cells because they are all useless & keep the circuit
(if you want to keep then check the capacity if some of them are good then keep them for future projects)
IMPORTANT:
don't damage the circuit or battery box while opening the battery .
Step 7: CONNECT THE CIRCUIT TO THE BATTERY PACK
NOW by using some wires connect the battery pack to the circuit
IMPORTANT:
you will see 4 wires coming out from the circuit in which the longest is negative.
the battery pack will also have 4 wires 1 is negative and 3 are positive (one to the end and two between the battery pack)
Step 8: CHECK BEFORE PACKING BATTERY
connect the battery circuit to the laptop
and press power button to see it's working or not
IMPORTANT:
if nothing happens after pressing power button
don't panic connect the charger to the laptop for 5 minutes then remove the charger.
(if again not working just contact me with your problem)
Step 9: SUCCESS! JUST PUT BATTERY AND CIRCUIT INSIDE THE BATTERY BOX
the final step to put battery pack and circuit in the battery box.
do it gently .
use some super glue or tape to fix the joint of battery box.
!!!!WE ARE DONE!!!!
