Hyperion A123 Cell Assembly Video

cool got it. :D

[SmoothlyLethal]

that is really good assembly

[Altair8801]

Wow! That's very professional! Very well done! I don't think battery manufacturers will mind.

Hi I have 6 dewalt 36 volt batteries that have died. By that I mean there is something defective about them and they no longer will charge. Is there a way to check a cell to see which ones are bad. I would like to take apart the battery identify the bad cell or cells and replace it with good ones from another battery. Even if I only end up with 2 or 3 good batteries that would be fine for me. They run 160 a piece through lowes and home depot.

@73amxman Yeah you can remove the plastic and then use a volt meter to check which cells are under the -2.2 volt?- threshold and charge just those cells with ac adapter putting out roughly 4 volts and 400 milliamps. You just need to get the voltage up on the weak cells and then pop it on the charger again. I brought all my dead packs back this way. I dont let them sit around almost dead anymore top them off at the end of the workday.

Not recommended to solder on the terminals. It overheats the internals on the cell.

Look, everything in life is at your own risk and discretion. Intelligence must be applied. It's also dangerous to invest your life savings in the stockmarket but people still do it....If you don't understand something then simply look it up.

use plenty ventilation. don't breathe the fumes. stuff will kill you. classic human mistake

[43Wyattlong]

nice were did u git he shrink wrap

[MrLewisFloydHenry]

This vid ain't that clear on where to place + - wires on battery heads. So I would say either put another vid up explaining or take this one down cos it's dangerous to mess around with polarities without being clear. Sparks.

[fly2000jtb]

Where do you get the shrink wrap for the finished pack?

[victor1997621]

PERFECT!!

[Musvilkis]

I think it's ZnCl. I made it and it works perfect. Without it, you can heat the place by trying to solder but rezult is still zero. With that flux just need to touch with solder and it covers all the place with flux. Just like soldering copper.

[aznifull]

what kind of battery bars are you using?

[KnightChatX]

well, put together.

[KnightChatX]

Oh so that's how those old phone batteries are made!

[jcjr99]

Is tinning just referring to heating and placing some solder where needed like as shown on the batteries ends and on the battery bars?

After the scotchbright, is that some flux he is rubbing on the top of the battery?

I also read to attach and tin on the edge of the battery tops so not to fry the batteries.

Any other soldering tips?

Sign me all thumbs but game!

[huntish]

is there another video to show were each wire goes for the balance lead

[MovingUpp]

Awesome, sir.

[deauzie]

Sir

Are these battery cells made in China ?

Do you sell them ?

[SuicideNeil]

Google for 'A123 cells' or 'Li-ion' or 'LifePo4'.

[Maciej838]

What is the small hole in the center of cap o accus?

[Dust2dust02]

Please what type of solder where to get and where do you get heatshrink that large? Thanks =)

[fathead431]

probably standard hobby grade electrical solder eg novak solder

[TC3RACER]

thats one fast job there!

[mikejbeiler]

Was that flux that was spread onto the battery terminals with the q-tip? Also, what was the wattage on the soldering iron used (butane/electric?)?

[fathead431]

looks like an electric soldering iron

use the same iron u use for soldering normal nimhs or nicds but dont leave the iron on the cell for more than about 10 secs max
