Intro: HOW TO REPAIR LAPTOP BATTERY ?
HELLO MY FELLOW !

I AM WAQAR

here, i will show you how to repair your laptop battery for very cheap at home.

+WHY ?

The laptop batteries consists of lithium cell which are called 18650 cells

they are not eternal

they have life period of about 2 years

+WHEN TO REPAIR ?

when you see your laptop is charged fully but does not last even half an hour or less.

which means the cells inside the battery are dead.

Step 1: REQUIREMENTS
-1 old dead laptop battery from laptop repair shop

-1 your laptop battery (which you want to repair)

some wire & tools like wire cutter etc...

and also some electric tape

http://www.instructables.com/id/HOW-TO-REPAIR-LAPTOP-BATTERY-/
Step 2: OPEN THE OLD DEAD BATTERY
Use some tools to open the laptop battery without damaging the battery box

because the box will be used later.

Step 3: GET THE 6 CELLS OUT FROM OLD DEAD BATTERY

Take out the 6 cells which are in 2-2 parallel connection.

(don't break the parallel connection but cut the series connection)

Step 4: TAKE OUT YOUR MULTIMETER & CHECK THE VOLTAGE

THIS step is very important !

generally 3.6 or above volt batteries are good below this voltage are the bad ones

voltage test is just temporary solution for the capacity check of 18650 cells

i recommend to use imax b6 charger for capacity test.

JUST GET 6 GOOD (18650) LITHIUM CELLS OR BUY THEM FROM AMAZON OR EBAY

Step 5: NOW CONNECT CELLS IN SERIES CONNECTION
BY using some wire connect all cell in series connection

just check the overall voltage of battery pack

it should be around 12 volts .

Step 6: NOW OPEN YOUR ORIGINAL LAPTOP BATTERY

JUST open your original laptop battery and throw the cells because they are all useless & keep the circuit

(if you want to keep then check the capacity if some of them are good then keep them for future projects)

IMPORTANT:

don't damage the circuit or battery box while opening the battery .

Step 7: CONNECT THE CIRCUIT TO THE BATTERY PACK
NOW by using some wires connect the battery pack to the circuit

IMPORTANT:

you will see 4 wires coming out from the circuit in which the longest is negative.

the battery pack will also have 4 wires 1 is negative and 3 are positive (one to the end and two between the battery pack)

Step 8: CHECK BEFORE PACKING BATTERY

connect the battery circuit to the laptop

and press power button to see it's working or not

IMPORTANT:

if nothing happens after pressing power button

don't panic connect the charger to the laptop for 5 minutes then remove the charger.

(if again not working just contact me with your problem)

Step 9: SUCCESS! JUST PUT BATTERY AND CIRCUIT INSIDE THE BATTERY BOX
the final step to put battery pack and circuit in the battery box.

do it gently .

use some super glue or tape to fix the joint of battery box.

!!!!WE ARE DONE!!!!
