THIS is how you make a Youtube instructional video. Quick explanation, followed by easy to follow demonstration. No fluff, no rambling, no over explaining. Well done!

What I like best about you is your willingness to share information, “trade secrets “ and shortcuts you have learned over time.
When I was an apprentice it was so frustrating that some old timers wouldn’t share their knowledge as they seen it as “ Job Security”!
Knowledge is useless if it isn’t shared, and I appreciate your willingness to do so. 👍🏼

Saved me a new battery. Straight to the point no stupid loud music. Again thanks

[kebuar]

Just did a Google search to get here. My battery was good but been sat on the shelf for months. It wasn't showing any signs of life. Did this reset and it worked like a charm. Thanks man, saved me buying a new battery.

[richardcazakoff]

Worked like a charm. Took a total of two minutes to get the battery ready to charge. Thanks saved me the expense of purchasing a new battrey.

[copperclad]

I didn't believe for one second this would actually work. 100 percent legit. Blew my mind and saved me a 100 bucks.

While waiting online for a Dewalt agent to answer me, I found this video. I said "what do I have to lose". Well sure enough, after only a few seconds, I put the dead battery in the charger and it was immediately recognized. I hung up on the agent :) Thank you Matthew for making this awesome tip video!

[Gabriel-jzhx]

Great video, Left my battery on my impact wrench almost two years in garage from cold to hot days and my charger wouldnt even detect a defective battery nothing. I tried this and it worked like a charm thank you!!

[MM-jqdi]

Was totally skeptical and did not think it would be as simple as this to fix! Just brought 2 batteries back to life! Thanks

[tonywalters]

Think you for showing how to kick start these batteries back. I never new how to charge them with another battery you are a life saver to this old man

[jammin]

I had x4 batteries that weren’t charging, I find leaving them in the radio kills them. But after following this video all 4 are now charging and working well! You have literally saved me about £200! Thank you so much.

[ricblanco]

Well done, Matthew. I've had a 12v DeWalt battery completely dead for a year, unable to take charge. I was ready to dispose of but kept changing my mind until I watched your video, and what a surprise, it’s been working! Thanks man, for being there for us. You've got my "like"

[wademckinney]

This man is awesome! He is teaching the world how to win with batteries! Everything is going battery powered these days. He could be onto something big!

[qwfskeq]

Matt, I was just about to go get a new battery and this popped up on my Facebook feed. I have a Dewalt heated jacket I got new for Christmas last year and put it in the closet with the battery still hooked up. Needless to say the NEW battery was dead and wouldn't take a charge. I tried your hack and it worked like a charm. Appreciate you making this video. Thank you!

[davidedwards]

Was about to tear into my 60v battery and decided to look at more videos, saw yours and tried it. Battery charging now. Great video, great info!

[wmp]

You just saved me over $200 for my photo studio light battery. I thought one of batteries was dead (no response)…
Little wire connection with good battery just like you showed and battery alive and charging again. Amazing. Thank you, you r genius!

[krapeevids]

Dude you just might have saved me the time and headache of taking apart my dewalt battery that just got completely discharged!! Thanks !!👍

UPDATE: Just jumped my dead battery like you showed and it’s now taking a charge !! Don’t know why I didn’t think about doing this in the first place??? It’s just like jumping your car battery and then keeping the engine running so the alternator charges it up again!
THANK

[mickyfinn]

Top video. I haven't tried this technique yet but will in the morning and let you know the results. What impressed me the most was your concise, straight to the point delivery. No long intro and many minutes of my existence lost to unnecessary waffling. 😊

[hectorbart]

Thank you for this Matthew! Just did this to a milwaukee 18v battery that had been sitting dead on my work bench for about 3 years now and would not charge. Now it's charging, thanks again.

[DLca]

Worked like a charm !!! Thanks for the tip, saved me from dealing with DeWalt customer service.
