Don't Waste Your Money: The Truth About The Ceenr Universal Battery System For All Tool Brands

The CEENR PDnation Battery System is not for anyone who uses tools on a regular basis. It is a toy, and a bad one at that.

I'm not putting a link for you to buy them because after testing them and opening them up, I don't think they are safe.

Thank you for your detailed feedback on our PDnation battery system. We truly value your input and appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns and clarify some points.

1.Battery Size:
We understand that the battery may seem a bit bigger compared to a standard 4.0Ah battery. This design choice ensures compatibility with a wide range of tool brands. Despite the slightly larger size, the weight remains comparable to regular batteries, ensuring that your user experience is not compromised. 

2.Material Durability:
Our batteries are made from ABS material to keep them lightweight. For professional users who require higher durability, we are considering using more robust materials in future versions.

3.Adapter Design:
You mentioned concerns about the adapter being held in place with a small pin and the potential for it to snap off under impact. As you also noted in your video at 15:41, this design is common in other adapters, demonstrating that this solution is generally accepted. If this design works well in regular adapters, it should also be reliable in our products.

4.Ease of Installation and Removal:
While you pointed out that getting the battery on and off can be challenging due to the tight fit and a button that doesn’t protrude much, this actually ensures that the battery will not easily slide out during use. This contradicts the concern about the tiny pin not holding the adapter securely, highlighting the robustness of our design.

5.USB Charging Method:
While our adapter does not support charging with the original charger, USB charging offers greater convenience for many customers. This design aims to diversify and simplify charging options, saving customers from purchasing additional chargers.

6.Dust Cap Flap:
We acknowledge that the dust cap flap can fall off quickly. Our R&D team is already working on improving the mold to address this issue.

7.Charging Speed:
Charging speed depends on the maximum output of your charging device. For faster charging, a 45W charger is recommended, similar to choosing a 2A/4A/6A charger to improve charging speed.

8.Adapter Appearance:
The yellow clip in the Makita battery is designed to balance the cells during charging. In our adapter, the yellow clip serves both for brand recognition and to enhance the overall aesthetic design.

9.High-Power Tool Performance:
We will introduce higher capacity options to ensure stable performance under high loads. We will also intensify product testing to guarantee reliability in various usage scenarios.

10.PCB Design:
Our current PCB design is shared with replacement batteries, which does not affect the adapter's functionality. Additionally, adding a "converting adapter" to a two-part system designed to communicate can sometimes disrupt safety features. However, our PDnation battery packs come with a built-in safety system that doesn't require communication with the tools. This ensures maximum user safety, even if the tool's safety features fail.

Once again, thank you for your feedback. We are committed to improving our products and providing you with the best possible user experience. If you have any further concerns or suggestions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.

I'm not an engineer, but I know that the rounded corners on batteries are not just for looks. When dropped, the sharp corners are more likely to break. A rounded corner doesn't take all the force in one small spot like the sharp would. Some companies add a rubber coating for additional protection.

I’m glad to see someone being honest about these batteries and not just be “you need to get these they are a great solution!” No one that I’ve seen that praises them shows them really in work. Just like I avoid the knock off batteries I stick to the official ones because know they are genuine and have a proper warranty to back them up if anything goes wrong.

Your summary at the end just about sums it up for me. With the increasing number of cheap adapters available, you can still keep to one battery platform but use other brand tools. That alone makes this obsolete.

[Erelyes]

The solution to that stalling issue is simple, just wear a backpack with a laptop in it and leave the battery connected via a USB-C cable all the time!

[petrokemikal]

I agree on pretty much all your points except when you said just buy a battery adapter.. Those are bad news also.. They are just contacts, no protection in them whatsoever, so If you use your dewalt battery to power somthing else then you could destroy your battery quicksmart as th dewalt batterys protection is in the tool..

[rayu]

i could see wood working channels who use drills with 3mm bits and impacts till the first click giving these the thumbs up

[doctorlefthandthread]

I applaud your candid honest review on this system. I do admire the attempt by PD nation but what you said is roughly my instinctual thoughts on it. Great video I am going to share this on my channel.

[OuttaTheWoods]

I have genuine Makita 18v 3ah from around 2008 and still running today... andni am a tradie, so they've been used.
Hard to go non genuine.
I do have over 25 makita batteries... only had problems with the 6ah, no good and the cheap ebay ones no good lol

[dynamotightstar]

Yours os the first review ive seen of these. Thanks for being brutally honest off the rip. Saved me a fair bit of time there. 👊

[KaufDirGeld]

What is the point if i can just get an adapter from the toolbrand i already have?

[Jbubbs-]

Well that’s a great real reason to advertise as honest professional review as too many utubers are literally telling you lies about this platform because they pay you to lie. As honesty on an item is far better telling the truth than telling lies and take the money for telling bullshit. 💯 on this review

[KeijonAutoVuokra]

If I was to buy a one fits all type battery I would never buy onr from a company known for making cheap counterfits. If this type of system ever becomes the norm it needs to be a officially supported thing like the Bosch ampshare.

[schwartzmatthewe]

This is why I watch this channel. I was hoping you would review this honestly and I figured you would.

[davetaylor]

As a builder for over 40 years I think they are great. The thought and effort gone into these is second to none. Well you did say no builder would rate them. Seriously what are they thinking. Why would you even take this crap to market. If the thing didn't break the first day, it would quickly get flying lessons. Not really even good enough for DIY. It just doesn't work.

[mpowersmedia]

Thanks for the honest take on this battery. I am a remodeler and was interested in buying this to replace a couple very old NiCad Dewalt 24V batteries DW0242 but not now. Its nice to find an honest channel that has reviewed these. Got a sub outta me.

[bwselectronic]

If you use the cheap battery adapters, remember, they don't have protection in them. All they do is supply the power like if you put wires from your positive & negative on battery to positive & negative on the tool.
You take a chance on running your battery too low which can ruin a lithium pack.

[nickp]

thank you finally one person honest about these stupid batteries i appreciate you being honest in your reviews

[toolscientist]

5:40 Milwaukee battery patent expired November 2023, although they may have managed to extend it with follow up patents (I have no idea, patent system is a mess). Most of the patents for the mechanical interface of LXT, M18, etc should have expired, too. There's companies like Waitely and Meliff that have been doing knock off stuff for a while and they haven't been sued. There's a Chicago Air air compressor for sale at Sydney/Total tools for a few years now that uses battery adapters to be compatible with the major brands. Surely they would have been sued or Makita/Milwaukee/Dewalt would have told them not to sell that product if there was anything wrong with it.

Did you try running it with the dewalt/ryobi adapter and the usb cable plugged into it to thus turning it into the convenience of a corded and therefore more useless.
