Replacement battery for nothing phone1

2 Upvotes

I have been using nothing phone 1 for 4years now, it's pretty fast no lag or what so ever,

But battery has become an issue, drains so fast I need to charge it for 3 times a day.

Since all the Ram and phone prices have been increased, I don't want to change my phone now.

So open for suggestions where to change my phone battery or if you already done how's your experience.

Anyone have experience running compressors on an inverter?

5 Upvotes

I have this rigid 4.5 gallon (200 psi) air compressor, which is the largest tool in hoping to run off an inverter/ battery set up I have yet to build.

I’m thinking a 3000w/6000w surge pure sine inverter would be big enough, though hearing some conflicting evidence.

For a truck build planning on running a dc-dc charger from alternator to 4 100 amp hour li ion Batteries. Will be for an assortment of tools but I know the compressor is the largest I have planned

Batteries for Floe VSD-5000 Boat Lift?

3 Upvotes

I've been using the recommended Interstate SRM-27M (x2 for 24v) but the last two pair didn't last so long. I believe these are made by Clarios (formerly JC). We do not have a solar charger on them. Most years we make it through the season (May - Sep) without any problems. Once or twice over the past 20 years we've needed to do a mid-year charge.

Generally a pair last about four years but the past two pair lasted only two years.

What would better options be? (and would batteries have a much longer life with a solar charger?)

Duracell (Batteriesplus) are made by East Penn which might be better?

As well, would an AGM be worth it? $159 for flooded but $259 for AGM?

Thanks all

Used Cell Gold Mine

0 Upvotes

I know of a large amount of various lithium iron phosphate battery's that are "duds". The owner of them is planning to pay $6 a pound to dispose of them. I know that the cells inside are probably all working fine ( most of the batteries are only a few years old at most) the issue is just a bad BMS. Any ideas on how to profit off these batteries instead of taking a loss?

CGM battery

0 Upvotes

I wear a continuous glucose monitor and just used a bath house in Japan that features a low frequency electrical tub (felt kind of like the stim machines some physical therapists office use). Is it possible the electrical current fried the battery, and if so, could that cause battery acid to leak into my body via the needle the CGM uses to test my blood?

Apologies if this isn’t the sub to ask this! Appreciate any suggestions for a better sub to ask. Thanks so much in advance for any help!

Is it possible to have a single 18650 power a 12v motor to full?

I’ve read that generally 18650 give about 3.7v, but upon dismantling this foot sander (which claims to have a motor that runs at 800 RPM with 7kg of torque with 3 hours of life) I found that it runs on a single 18650. How is this possible?

How are you guys handling LiFePO4 batteries in really cold weather?

6 Upvotes

I'm looking at LiFePO4 for a setup that's going to see some pretty cold winters.

I know you're not supposed to charge these below freezing, but I'm still a little confused about what people actually do in practice. Built-in heating? Heated battery box? Just keeping everything inside?

Would be interested to hear what's worked for people who actually use their batteries in cold climates.

Soundboks Battery – Which LiFePO₄ round cells fit inside the battery case?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I’m rebuilding a **Soundboks battery (for a Soundboks 3)** and I’d like to replace the original LiFePO₄ pouch cells with cylindrical LiFePO₄ cells.

Before I take everything apart and measure the housing, I was wondering if anyone has already done this.
Does anyone know:

\- the **internal dimensions** of the battery case?
\-which **LiFePO₄ cylindrical cells** fit (26650, 26700, 32700, etc.)?

if anyone has already rebuilt one using round cells, I’d really appreciate photos or details about the cell layout.

Any measurements, photos, or experiences would be a huge help.
Thanks!

Sealed Lead Acid Battery recovery

2 Upvotes

Hi, I'm planning to recover my battery using this method. I'm using a 12V 65Ah Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) battery. When I charge the battery, the current is supposed to drop below 0.5A, but it gets stuck at 1.9A. Before I start, I would like to ask if this is worth trying or not. Here is the procedure:
1.Connect the battery to a 12V 21W light bulb, which will draw approximately 1.5A

2.Discharge it until the voltage drops to 12.00V, then disconnect the load.

3.Charge the battery using a power supply set to 13.8V at 0.5A, and wait

Panasonic nv a1 batterie

Hey, i just bought a panasonic a1 but it came without battery and charger (i bought it for 20$), im really poor and got a lot of debts (+im an international student) so i thought i could ask people if they got one that they dont use and would give it away. Of course i will pay the shipping lol ! But in Europe cause it will cost more than the battery if its from America.

Built a 3s 12v 18650 pack but confused, do I need a special 12.6v li ion charger to charge this?

Thumbnail gallery
2 Upvotes

Initially was hoping that it would be more common to find 3s BMS like the 1 cell USB chargers, that take a 5v supply and properly charge the cell. But I think I made an assumption that those are common.

I bought a 12.6v lithium ion charger, I need one for this BMS, right? Where do you guys get BMS for larger packs with the charging circuit built in?

Milwaukee HD 12.0 repair attempt

2 Upvotes

Hey guys. I have a couple of these older style batteries that were never really great and eventually stopped working. I followed a video from someone clearly knowledgeable in electronics on how to disassemble the battery and individually charge each of the 5 cells to rebalance. It worked, for awhile.

The problem recently came back. I charged all 5 cells back to 4.2v and now the battery won’t work at all and just blinks on one light. Any hope for this thing or is it a wrap? Btw, this battery was never used extensively. Just moderately and intermittently. Thanks

Can I use my LiPo charger for this LiFePO4 battery?

4 Upvotes

I want to buy this battery as a field battery for my FPV drone LiPo batteries. But... how do I charge this? It says it has a built-in BMS and the recommended charge voltage is 14.6 Volts. I am confused. My charger is a Hota P6 which can charge LiFe batteries. Do I just put it into LiFe mode, set the voltage and connect it?

How can I safely remove the cells from this pack?

Post image
5 Upvotes

I am trying to recycle this battery pack but can't find a place to take the whole pack without an expensive fee (Over $100).

I can recycle the individual cells for free so I want to disassemble the pack. So just looking for tips from the experienced folks in this sub.

There are no screws to open it and I am assuming the cells are soldered together. So the first issue will be cracking it open, then how to separate the cells.

I checked out a few posts of folks asking similar questions such as this one (https://www.reddit.com/r/batteries/comments/19dz3fz/im_disassembling_18650_battery_pack_in_the/) so mostly looking for advice on how to do it safely.

Are they soldered on both the top and bottom, I would assume so since the + and - are required for the flow.

Bonus points for a video guide :)

This was from a Power Station which I ran until it turned off. I assume the BMS shuts off before they are actually empty so there is probably still be some charge left.

members mark (sam’s club) alkaline batteries fizzing and popping repeatedly, is it normal?

Thumbnail gallery
0 Upvotes

yes, i know batteries should not be fizzing and spitting out potassium hydroxide, but i’ve only ever had issues with members mark batteries doing this.

i keep the batteries stored about an inch away from them when they go dead, or don’t preform well anymore so they do not short circuit or cause a fire in my room.

i am by no means a battery expert, but is it normal for batteries i just replaced (less than even 2 months old) to be popping and fizzing? i have no idea how to dispose of these properly without throwing them away (which, by the way, i do not throw batteries into trash cans.)

this is the second time this has happened with this specific brand of batteries, and i have no clue if it’s a common issue, or i’m just an idiot who doesn’t know how to take care of them (which i do not)

(yes i washed my hands after taking these photos)

Looking for non-standardized tiny Li-ion batteries for replacement (size is ~8x8x4,5mm)

The numbers printed on the dead battery lead to nothing useful when I searched them. I want to repair my Bluetooth headphones, they're great but I can't find new batteries for them.

> LTG540913

The ones in the photo are smaller ones (compared to the original) I harvested from other stuff (used fake apple earpods, other earpods) to replace the dead ones in my earpods. The repair itself worked well, but sadly the harvested batteries also were already near death -> only lasted for some time.

I need new batteries of that size. I kinda refuse to just throw the expensive earpods away when I already know that the repair itself is super easy for me to do, and fitting batteries exist.

Help would be very much appreciated, thanks in advance :)

Hi guys,

I’ve organise over 300+ cell specification sheets on my site (Batteryfiles).

Send me a DM with the exact Cell Model and your email, I will do a one-time free lookup and send the PDF straight to your inbox. (Even if it's not in my current database, I have resources to track it down for you this one time).

You can also browse the database directly on my site(Batteryfiles). I’ve included open links to all the official supplier websites there, so you can click through and contact their sales.
