Laptop battery won't output voltage
Dell Sony Battery pack from 8200 Inspiron type 66Whr
System didn't like it, either slot. Won't charge it and flashes LEDs strangely. Happy with other pack either slot. -- System OK battery pack button indicates one LED level took it apart, reading battery voltage directly shows 3.6 volts on all pairs - total 14.5 volts (4 pairs) -- batteries OK Voltage on terminal output leads from board about 2 volts. -- electronics problem. where can I get a pack with bad batteries?? a schematic?? whatever?? thanks |

Maybe, maybe not. It is likely a 'smart battery' and maybe the electronics are shutting down the output. where can I get a pack with bad batteries?? a schematic?? whatever?? It's possible the cells are at the end of their life and the electronics can sense this. Doing off-load voltage measurements of cells is fairly meaningless, you need to present them with a reasonable load. However, you should be able to pick up a battery on eBay, I've picked up laptop batteries up there in the past quite cheaply. Dave |
Laptop battery won't output voltage
Getting a schematic of a laptop battery is harder than getting a
nuclear fusion details...they keep it away from electroFans 2 keep sucking our money......Anyhow, Ur problem may(and may not) be solved by creating an external (smaller duty) cell group, connect it in parallel with the old one b4 disconnecting the cells 2 test them independently. This is bcoz some of electronic board inside the battery may shut off premanent and lose code if cut off power. Good luck |

Dave That is where this one came from about 18 months ago. the LED test pretty much says it. It must be reading at the output. although... I don't think 2 volts would light up anything. There was a way to reset the smart processor on my Micron batteries, but I don't know if there is a reset line at the terminals of this one. |

I found a spec sheet on the processor and somehow managed to reset it. Battery just finished fully charging. when I did reset it I got no light when I pushed the button. Thought I totally broke it, but it made sense - it didn't think it was charged. It charged pretty quickly so I don't think it was totally dead. |

When these batteries are not under load, they may usually read okay. The
proper test is under full load. The most common fault is that the batteries stop performing properly, and must be replaced. The expected lifespan is usually about 2 to 4 years. -- JANA _____ wrote in message ... Dell Sony Battery pack from 8200 Inspiron type 66Whr System didn't like it, either slot.
