Thank you so much!!! It makes me so mad that these batteries quit working. They should have a reset button on the battery, but then everyone wouldn't run out and buy a new battery. Thank goodness for YouTube and My PlayHouse!

Me and my dad just did this and it seems to have worked!
He mowed the lawn for the first time of the season with two batteries that had been sitting unused since last fall and said "huh, that was weird, they both just died and now they are blinking red and green and won't charge". So we started looking into it and even considered buying new ones (€400 for two new batteries! Jeez!) but ended up at this video instead.
A quick trip to the hardware store to buy a security torx and a bit of elbow grease later, and we shorted the RST holes and both batteries gave a green blink and now seem to be charging (so far, so good at least). Huge thanks for saving us €400!

Thank you. Replaced my battery and thought it was dead, but kept it just in case.
Now I have two batteries 🎉.
Thanks again.

This is a great fix. I wish this was available a year ago, I trashed 2 batteries I could have saved. Great Job. Thank You

This 40v 2.6AH battery has been sitting for years in an unheated garage. It never worked well even when new. I see from the date code that it is from 2017! It showed up with the four flashing lights when I last tried to use or charge it. I was going to throw it away (err, recycle it) until I found it costs $159 USD new!

I found your video today and the hardest part was finding my security screw bit set. Opened it up, reset with a bit of wire (did not touch anything else) and it flashes with one light now. It's in the charger right now with the usual single charging blinking. Nicely done.

You ARE the MAN!!! This is exactly what I was looking for! Exactly the same issue I am having. Very expensive battery pack for sure. Awesome. You are the type of person that really makes YouTube amazing. Bravo!!

[deanroepke]

OMG I was so happy that I had a small socket to remove the screws. Touched the reset connectors and Its charging You saved me a HUGE thank you from Florida USA!!!! great video!

[Aaron_Lester]

Thank you so much. This saved me $170. Worked the first time. For anyone else trying I had to hold it for about 2-3 seconds before the green lights flashed. It wasn't instant FWIW. Thanks again 🤙

[mattikaki]

Thanx for the tip. This was something new to me that battery has RESET inside. The computer of battery can get haywire after many charging cycles and then it tells to the charger that the user must buy a new expensive battery. 😂

Thank you so much! There are so many battery fix videos that are useless. This was informative, direct and to the point without a bunch of theatrics for show AND, IT HELPED FIX 2 Batteries in 30 mins.

I never comment on videos but this actually worked so I have to give credit where it’s due. Thank you.

At time 7:12 is gold "It shouldn't take long... and if it explodes it makes good video".. proceeds to accidently short something :) At least Ryobi labelled their BMS PCB very nicely. Thanks for the video, I picked up a couple 36V packs left for garbage and so far 1 of 2 packs appears to be coming up in volts. It was 100% dead 0V - using a RC charger (max voltage capable is 26V, so have to be done in batches) and manually brought all 10 cell banks individually to 3.0V, fast charge to 3.3V [starting at most positive end cell bank first] and then running a Li5S (21V) charge program at 0.5A between B+ and test point CL6- for first round, second round will be CL6- and GND (not B-... most BMS in fault condition cut off the B- consumer terminal from GND). The absolute worst, is when a charger unit itself fails (EGO+ '56V' - 58.5V full charge) and the OEM wants nearly as much $$$ for the charger as the original package cost... hello Amazon 60V DC lab power supply on prime days, 4mm banana plugs, 4mm posts, multi-meter and said broken charger being gutted with aforementioned 4mm posts being installed and internally attached to the B+ and B-; end result works GREAT (a trusted or calibrated multimeter is a must, the amazon supplies' displays are often out a volt or two).

THANK YOU SO MUCH MORTEN !!!
You literally saved me about $400 by posting this video. I followed your instructions and it worked! If I hadn’t learned about this, I would’ve probably bought a new weedwacker and then would’ve had to buy a new battery on top of it, since the weedwacker still wouldn’t work because the battery wouldn’t charge. I also have a a ryobi “expand it” pole saw, so I would needed new battery for that as well. So thank you!

Wow so incredible.This is the first video of yours I’ve come across, and it’s brilliant! Helped us immensely. Keep it up. I agree with a lot of other commenters that people like you really make the internet a better place :) Thanks again from Australia! And I also didn’t get a spark, but did have to hold down on the reset for a few seconds before it registered / blinked with the green flashes.

[robcradock]

Absolute hero! Thank you mate I now own 3 batteries for 3 tools!

[machelorth]

That’s what internet should be used for…great video and tips! Worked like a charm for me 👍🏻💪🏻

[seokhoonjung]

Thanks to you, I got my battery fixed! Thank you so much! For reference, when resetting the battery, you should not use a thick wire, but you must twist a thin wire and insert it into the hole. Thank you for bringing my 2019 battery back to life.

[lawrencetheentertainer]

Thank you!! Simple instructions and it worked perfectly!! The local. Dealer wanted $70.us to fix.

Took me 5 minutes in total from start to finish.

Cheers 🎉

Very interesting video. I had a Greekwork's 40 volt battery that went dead and refused to charge. Instead of looking for a reset option, I removed the actual cells from the board. Not a good idea. Now I have great battery cells, but a really damaged controller board that needs replaced. I will certainly look for a reset for any future battery problems... Thanks!

Thank you very much for taking the time to post this video. That is true community service. 👍🏾
