My battery was blinking the lights in the same way. I followed the simple procedure in the video and fixed my battery within minutes. THANK YOU MORTEN !

Many Thanks! This repair worked for me after i forgot the battery outside in the rain and it got water/moist inside.
NOTE: One of the four screws were cover with some semi hard resin, this was really hard to get rid of, but dont give up, be patient and careful to not damage the screw itself.

Worked great!
Only thing I had to do differently was to press the LED indicator button while shorting the reset contacts. FYI in case it doesn’t work for someone else. Ps, I used a standard T10, not a security T10. Felt like I could have stripped the head but I was careful and it worked.

I do believe this is an overload protect feature built into the PCB. Ryobi could have made the reset easier for everyone but I’m guessing they want to sell more batteries and also give repair shops an easy fix in which they can make a healthy profit.

worked well thanks for making this video

My battery hasn't done this yet, but I believe I will make great use of this tip in the future!

Hi,
Newbie here and working on to fix my Ryobi 36v, 2.6A lawn mower battery. Since it was manufactured in 2015, I was thinking its time to replace all batteries (since it is not performing well) and I did. After changed, pretty much I am getting 40v at the pcb boards pins. But, when I measure across 2 main terminal point, T1 and T2, I am getting only 16.5v. Is this normal? With this condition, I was able to recharge and use it again but performance almost the same. Is the mosfet failing? Any ideas to fix my problem, please let me know. Thanks in advance.😊

[kristinmcclary]

This is great information. Thank you!!

[leannejeffriess]

It worked the first time a couple of months ago and worked great since, thank you 🙏🏼 but now after the reset and I plug back into the charger it works for a moment then blinks red/green again 😢

[Calany]

Thank you for your video! Clear and concise and extremely helpful.

However, my battery is completely drained, as such shorting the reset easy fix isn't working for me. Do you have any recommendations?

[MortenDarving]

Mine does the same thing as yours. But when I put it in the charger it flashes like it's charging for a few seconds and then it changes to red green again.... Any new solutions? It a new battery so i get a new one for free anyway, but i want this to work

[waynethomas]

I tried my 8, 2.6 Ah batteries from 2013-15 that I recharged every 6 months but not the last 18 months and had the same flashing light result. I found the two RST points, shorted them for 10 seconds, put them in to recharge and had success on all but the 2 youngest(2015) which tested out as dead flat. not a bad result as I had originally been given all 8 second hand!

A small screen will brake stud in screw where a standard torque will work I think

[christopherleubner]

Easy fix if reset button by itself faild. Hook a brake light to the charger output through clip leads to the cells directly bypassing the BMS Then charge to 3.4V per cell. If a cell group is bad you will need to disconnect test and replace the bad cells if found. Next apply the same voltage to the output teminals. Then hit the reset switch to allow communication with the charger. Finally recharge as normal. ❤

[dennisolsson]

Are you still in Portugal? In the Mikrotik interface you can check the system health (don't know the exact place right now) which should show the input voltage from the battery. That will not be the true battery voltage because of drop in the cables, but it is something.

I don't have the reset (2-side by side) on my battery. It's dated 2019 so circuit board might be different. 😮‍💨 darn it.

[kakla]

Just FYI it's trimming not strimming

[JesuszillaCorp]

Mine went to one light after the rest plug it back up back to 4 blinking. Gonna try it one more time before i chunk it across the room haha

[larryreedman]

Your battery is still under warranty. 2022 in the serial number.

[TKomoski]

Is Ryobi okay with you fixing their battery, you are meant to buy a new one

[johnfussell]

this apparently doesn't work if you have zero lights. I have three batteries that don't light up at all. I thought about a trickle charger with alligator clips to get them to blink, then reset? Thanks nonetheless 🧎‍♂️
