Pro tool - diagnose, measure real capacity, revive, charge and discharge laptop batteries

hello so we're back Wednesday and this is a very special video yeah I just found a gold mine so actually I'm a software we can diagnose repair a laptop battery it is a gold mine yeah so what we are you reviewing today is not a blind review so I did test the the tool and I can confirm that tool it's a pro tool and it's fantastic right now on the market it's only one yeah one more so we have two tools what the batteries but the other one is like all like 10 years old and it's not even close to what this is the I am saying it's a gold mine it's it's hard to understand but if you have a computer shop you probably you'll understand yeah let me show you let me show you just to make my point here so look here yeah so these are old batteries whole batteries and this is nothing we have like three big buckets full of batteries yeah let's just get three batteries random and try to check this tool okay now let me explain you why this is gold this is the Holy Grail yeah the first we have so many problems with a battery selling the batteries you saw the battery mostly order the battery sell the battery the customer come back two weeks later you know what I remember my laptop was holding the charge when I bought it like for day like four hours and I was keeping only I'm not happy I want my money back and there's no way how you can prove you know actually the battery is good because you don't know so you have to check the battery to see exactly the capacity of the battery to maintain your point and show the customer look the cup the battery has the capacity which is yeah you understand so you need this tool and it's fantastic cheap you know even if the price will be double I was still buy it so let's go first one year ago when I made a video about how we can we can bring back to life are not detected battery yeah let me see let me see how we was doing this before not diagnosed or testing because you can't see without tool let's try to see you remember this video test charge diagnose the battery you remember so actually on this video what I was doing taking out the battery and make him making some holes on the battery on the size of the battery and bring it back to life the battery charging the battery so the idea is the idea was to make holes and charge the the elements yeah because the battery was not detected and we did we did bring that battery to life but that's how we were doing this before okay it's not very dodgy don't make holes on the battery but all that you can do is to bring that battery to life from an not detected the stage so let's see we have your batteries let's see what we are reviewing today let me find the people website it's just a coincidence the people are Romanian yeah it's just a coincidence well I mean press on the fact this is the second tool on the market yeah you'll not find anything around apart from this though we have picture we have so what we are reviewing laptop battery analyze that hardware and software can diagnose measure a real capacity revive charge discharge almost all laptop batteries on the market so I did try with different brand battery it's working perfect Roderick's capable of reading battery information even the battery is not detected by the laptop is faulty or it's over discharged yeah now the hardware going for the hardware description yeah okay made by Romania sand produce in China good job done and you have all the major features you can go on their website and check it's not for reading everything now I can bet you want to see how this is going the box comes with the connectors ok as a nice software which you know I was surprised this is this is a pro thing you know it's not like what you are finding on yeah this is nice one so we are going here for the software and we are testing the batteries yeah ok what I'll do first I'll present the the Box does the Box it just it's just a box nothing to speak about this box here how this is coming it's coming with the you have the charger you have the connectors yeah I will speak about the connectors later you have this this I think that's all now to diagnose the battery to read the information you need like four wires plus/minus clock and data simple if you see these wires these are for the internal batteries the new ones yeah and you see ara they have a lot of wires actually it are not so many because of the new batteries the internal one you have three fires four plus three four - which they are coming together okay so I'll leave this on one side and that gets constant concentrated on this one what do we have here you have the Box you have the plus you have to actually free free black which are - so basically what do we have here you have four wires that's all what you have okay so you are - plus clock and data the good part the software is fantastic it's reading the data on the fly so actually playing because you have to play you have to match you know the connection on the battery which I don't know I have no idea about the connection but let's let's try and do it let's try and do it first the software yeah that's the software and you know and it will be a software does the one it's a nice software last update age already so the people are updating the software first connect with the interface connect so now is connected before doing anything let's go through let's go through the menu you have battery info you have everything what what I'm looking for is the cycle count does cell voltage things like that so you carry the battery can see current capacity which is fantastic yeah and after that you can see the health all of the battery another factor fantastic feature after that you have charge you can charge the battery and you see the current the voltage you have a discharge option okay you have a Otto cycle and calibrate this is very important this is nice and the most important one yeah this is the most probably I'll go here first but you'll understand only on doing this they repair okay so actually read the battery configuration the cell configuration you have to check the wrong cells which is fantastic and you have wake up the battery in the case of the wounded dead battery not detected batteries or battery wit Ike's device control yeah you can play a little bit here and help section I trust me this man is nice and I call him I give him a cold yesterday I was not sure about something I gave him a call okay so let's goes first first you have to connect the battery yeah let's press star reading because you know I don't have time to press the buttons when I'm playing with you ayats so you play the you start reading you press the button sorry then you're getting a battery so what we have here we have a Lenovo battery I don't know what's this this is another battery which has no brand name this is another battery which police are replacing my I don't know what batteries is no saying the brand anyway we have three batteries what we'll do connect the wires on this butter is saying plus and minus usually on all the batteries the plus and minus are on the sides okay so I'll connect one wire - I'm sure I like to plus usually is like 2+2 - or you can have three plus in three - so - plus I don't want to connect to - even if I have to equate only one - then one plus it does on the end of the I look the nice part when you connected you see that LED so if you connect the wire the right plus and minus you can see the power coming out from the battery yeah so plus and minus and what do we have left we have data and clock but the problem is you can play with this less you can short them with the plus ya going short them is fine they are protect you remember Delano for laptop when you sure the charging port with the data pin from the middle and you burn the super i/o well these people figure it out how you protect the data lines yeah I told you that was the reason why they go so so you know it was so angry about that yeah is lenovo you know they didn't figure it out how to protect that data line against shorting the place that's insane so even these people figure it out how you can protect the data line so now what we have to do we have to first so what is left there so we have two plus two minus and they have left three more pins okay so on the moment when is connected right you'll see on the software yeah this is reading the data yeah okay so let's try I will do it I will do this randomly because obviously I don't know which is data in clock is reading is no reading let's pin the wires is reading is no reading okay let's try the the next to the next one is reading now let's spin the wires it's a bit tricky you know you have to find the right it's reading the data chicken softer check the software check the software is reading the data so what we can see there he's in the capacity full charge capacity remaining capacity average 20 cycle count 293 so my battery has Chow has been charged two hundred ninety three times yeah and you have the cell voltage okay the next one I want to read the capacity you see here this battery the capacity the actual capacity now so how much is charged this battery right now is forty one percent and now compute health and that will tell you how good is your battery eighty five percent so it's over good it's nearly two very good but eighty five percent so you don't understand probably you don't see this like a gold mine but for us it is a gold mine because we have so many batteries we can't sell them but now now I know exactly how good is a battery so we can sell them that's the first way to make money the second way to make money is to check the cell so we are going on the repair thing and we are checking the cells because you'll find batteries well like one cell is that and the other cell does like new you can sell them so everything on these days it's working with ourselves like my electronic cigarette skateboards scooters you know all they have these cells okay we can solve them the other problem is is that knowing customers they come back and say no my battery was like you know was holding the charge for hours and now we use some use only the battery nice he's holding the charge only two hours and you can prove him yeah based on this okay good let's go forward so let's you have a but at least read the static data press the button design capacity capacity so you can see here that the battery was designed with this capacity design voltage you have few more things including a serial number that's good when you sell the batteries yeah will have a serial number device chemists really too young yeah let's go let's go let's go let's go let's go let's go charge yeah there's going to choke so sorry stop breathing charge so here we can charge the battery and then the the graphic is nice so let's let's say you can charge the battery max free amps let's say 3 amps start charging charging the battery and you can see the battery current you can click on the battery current and battery voltage you see how it's going up let's keep our eye on the current and you have the log here you can see saying charging the battery which is nice and you see even if I set up I set up three amps the charging stop one up so probably the battery's designed to charge you into an amp only ok they have the battery voltage let's stop the charging it goes further yeah discharged here you can discharge the battery and you can see how the cell are you know responding on the discharge start discharging discharging the battery and you have on each cell you have a nice graphic and you can see exactly what's going on there it's proper nice to see the graphics so what do you think about this tool what do you think stop the charging let's go further you have ocean I will cycle calibrate you'll understand this function later which is nice because you can calibrate the battery yeah calibration meaning you can rewrite or reload actually the state of the cells to the internal memory of the battery the memory has a controller with a microcontroller with memory and it it's storing the values of the batteries it's wait few more second you'll understand I didn't understand and I called him and he explained me so next to our repair yeah one day repair read battery configuration the battery has four cells okay so the next step I'll press check wrong cells yeah that's fantastic check wrong cells and now he's checking is saying on the on the church wait a few seconds okay okay and the cells are red that's my bad cells now because of this because of this I call I call the producer of this box I said look the battery is stayed like nearly very good anyway over good so you we have a good battery here but the cells saying are bad cells and you know your software is contradicting himself so what's going on here you know I just want to know exactly what this mean I give him a call and he explained so actually the first page battery info all this info including the current capacity and health all the information is coming from the internal memory of the battery yeah so that chip which is inside I knew that it's counting the charging and discharging cycle any any based on that he can figure out the capacity and that's the capacity of the battery so 85% is left but this is the last time when the battery was used the last time when this battery was charged and discharged was 85% okay but if you leave the battery like one year you are not using the batteries it's still going down here it's it's getting worse so if now I will charge and discharge the battery here will be like somewhere like poor because the chip obviously it will read a new day data so the capacity with which you will charge in this charge will be lower and that's the thing so actually the reality is here that's the reality so that's what you have to check if you want to know what what's going on in a battery if the battery is used like every day yes so probably this would be very accurate yeah but not on this case so probably this battery was not used a long time because you can see this the last time when this but it was used was good but not now now the cells are bad and the software is figured out is bad based on the internal resistance of the battery which on this case is 146 millions it's not great it's you know this is insane you know I'm so happy with this even if the software all have only this this window you can see exactly the internal resistance of each element yeah fantastic fantastic yeah so we know the battery actually it is bad we can't use this but the reduce battery is meant to go recycle anyway each cell of these batteries but we have device control we have the fan fan speed you know if you discharge the battery or if you cycle the battery you have on the bond mbox it's dummy load and obviously the dummy load it's supposed to be cooled okay you have few more things here you can read the the thermistor for mr. value device blah blah blah blah not really study too much these things because what I am what I care it's about I want to know what's going on inside of the battery one more thing is this power on apply output voltage in the case when you have battery which are not detected so in that case and I didn't ask ask him you know your your device is repairing that kind of battery and he said yes he he he repaired a lot of the batteries actually the cell voltage goes so low and the battery saying on the laptop like battery is not detected or Ickes yeah on that case you have to power on and apply some voltage just to make that ship readable so you can read it obviously yeah if the cell is completely dead the memory will get erased and the chip will get locked yeah you know that story you know the story with the battery switch completely completely empty battery the memory will get erased okay so it's not simple you have four wires are four wires that's all I told you this is a gold mine I think I see the cell voltage of each so that's oil for but this you know that even this is not it's not accurate because this this is what was memorized on the chip or the last used yeah but the reality is here okay let's go to the next one so what I will do clear all valleys clear clear low okay let's go on the next one so this battery trash this is gone let's try another one but this has a lot more pins but still I have plus and minus all they have plus and minus but also batteries that you don't have plus and minus on them I will explain how you can find plus and minus so we have plus and minus probably like always like a 2 pins 4 plus 4 minus all years only one 1/4 plus 1/4 - yeah the light comes on here what does mean the battery still have voltage and what we have left is data so press read star reading and now try to find out the data pins yeah so these are 2 - okay let's try this nothing they spin the finger still no English way here nothing lecture again nothing destroy here nothing actually here and study the data you can see ok so that's how you find that the wires anyway the guy said you know what although fair offer support for a you know any battery so look on this one the cycle count one you can see the cycle count 1 restating the state in that data design capacity 8.8 amps yeah read capacity nearly empty compute health is full hell yeah so that's was the last time when this battery was used like I'm gonna probably once by the manufacture because the cycle count is 1 by again let's go on that one the last one repair and see what the sellers are saying this is the most important thing so first read the battery configuration here so the battery has free cells yeah and now check the wrong cells let's see what he's saying so what do you think so the cells are good green good so do you see this is the case when actually the battery it is new and it is good what you can do you can charge the battery with the batteries just a little bit charged or you can do it you can charge the battery it's nice and you can see here how he's pumping the current inside of the bacterial here one point nine two amps 2.1 2.2 you can see how the current is going up two point five that is going with what I set up I set up three amps so now the battery is charging with three amps you see the voltage is going up a little bit it's nice it's just nice also I can zoom okay okay Goten now so what I didn't said if you use out of cycle or calibrate you can use this on that case when actually you charge the battery saying like two hours and it's getting discharged in half an hour if you press cycle or start calibration not discharging a charging cycle it will refresh the data on the memory chip of the battery so like how you can see we have a brand new battery here and it is good we can leave it a little bit on charge to see if it's going up on any computer shop I'm sure you will have like you know you have like tons of batteries and you are stuck with them you can't sell them because you don't know if they are good or not and even if they are bad actually you have you can take probably and recover some cells so just deal good.you nice to see the current curve so let's wait a little bit of charge and see if is changing on the on the first screen so I will say this is a must-have tool on any computer show because you have you have we have you'll have cases when when actually are charged battery can help you to diagnose a problem you know maybe your laptop is that I plug the charger in is that maybe it's working by the battery and on that case you know you have an input circuit problem without even opening the laptop but maybe you have a case like you know you have a battery and say the customer is know is he saying okay no holding the charge you can check the back it'll say look about charger five of check your battery it's a tool which you will bring in more money that's that's no question about they're still charging free arms it's a lot of current all of you saying state the state of charge 27% here he's saying that time brands Sony hahaha so I can see the brunt of the battery so this is the Sony battery you can see here on the top sunny fantastic I didn't know what but it is 20% okay let's play stop goes here reach capacity know yet probably a 30% will get change look at the current how he's going up plus voltage to the battery has 12 volts right now the current we can even zoom in what I did okay they still 20% that's way I play yesterday all day long with this what do you think about this so now what we'll do take all the batteries you have buckets we have another ship we have buckets of battery we will test them and you can sell them on eBay line let us say 80% good but we know it's good you know what I mean because that's the point of digital 29% now this is what I call a proofing you know you have everything here let's see maybe this one is that so you can see we can bring it to life obviously is going up you can see it's going up I look at the voltage the voltage is going up also this is you know this is a wet wet train you know it's a wet dream this kind of tool now I wish I can have something like that for the phone batteries just you know just to check the cell to tell it straight away you know you have a good battery or not why try if you are not not precise I'm not precise be precise you have to charge on this charge the battery 30% state of charge 40 percent of charging read the capacity guess this green yeah nice it is nice okay let's check change the battery let's check this one I don't know what the button is this but maybe the software will tell us what the battery it is less clear the fingy yeah start reading so again you have - we have class we have the data pins which I don't know which it is it's not this it's not this I is this straight away so you can see is the reading of the data cycle comes zero okay so this is a new one so this is a new battery the read static data for amps battery manufactured a 2080 read the capacity 37% charge compute health 100% yeah this is a new battery okay that's that's great so let's go on my favorite part repair read battery configuration and we have four cells check wrong cells okay the battery does not does not allow discharging yeah some batteries they have one pin one pin which is activating the battery okay you see on this case the device cannot test the cells so what I will do I'll take that there are other black wires and I think so the first way are are - the third one the third one all connected to ground to another black wire let's try again check wrong cells the schwag a and that dub pin if it's connected up in if you connect the pin to ground it will activate the battery can activate discharging yes look on this one so all the cells are bad so this is a brand new battery was not used and it's not good you can see it's reading the the finger yes yeah I give me one second you sorry so you can see another case when actually in the battery enforcing cycle count zero that's the capacity and the health is saying a hundred percent actually the cells are not good and I will use this tool even if when I buy new batteries yeah see this is fantastic so you know from before if this battery has to go the customer or has to go back to the seller yeah I don't understand how we live before without this tool it's fantastic fantastic so all the pain is gone okay so that's how you check the batteries I will test them this battery is not good this is a brand new battery but the cells you can see the internal resistance is phase you know you can connect the load and based off the current and the voltage drop you can figure out the internal resistance obviously high internal resistance it's a bad cell it's nothing to do it's nothing what you can do probably try and cycle or charge this charge but I don't know if this will come back to life okay so I will stop this video well not before to go on the people website yeah so check them website laptop you dot row or they have a shop they have a UK shop direct - charging calm and you can buy the tooth straight from here you can buy PayPal you can the price is a hundred seventy nine pounds which is fantastic it's it's it's cheap from my point of view from what I seen with this tool this is a cheap thing you know a hundred seventy nine pounds for a computer shop means absolutely nothing nothing okay it's good I think it is it's it's I have nothing to do with them I'm not charging anything for advertised but this is something which you must have on a computer show this will bring us a lot of money okay so thank you for watching like and subscribe if you like the video yeah I can bet you like it I can but like I bet you want something like that professional laptop battery analyzer anything it is it is and the man said like how I said this a Romanian man he said III work on this thing like five years and after five years just now these things came out it's a very nice guy very nice guy very helpful okay see you on the next one bye
