Cordless drills , saws and screwdrivers are among some of the popular cordless Makita power tools. The portability and flexibility of these cordless rechargeable tools makes them an asset in home building and remodeling. However, after a while they no longer will hold a fully charge. Instead of purchasing a new Makita 1835 power tool battery, please try “zapping” your cordless Makita battery pack back to life.
How to Repair Makita 1835 Power Tools Battery
-
Step 1
Unscrew the Makita 1835 battery pack casing. Inside you should find a series of smaller rechargeable batteries linked together.
- Step 2
Take notes using your paper and pencil as to how the batteries are positioned in the Makita 1835 battery pack case. This will assist you in the later reassembly of the Makita cordless drill battery pack.
- Step 3
Use the battery tester to determine which of these batteries needs to be replaced. Test each individual battery and mark the batteries to be replaced.
- Step 4
Purchase similar-voltage rechargeable Makita 1835 drill batteries at a local hardware or electronics store. For example, nickel cadmium (NiCad) batteries should be replaced only with new NiCad batteries.
- Step 5
De-solder the first “bad” battery, taking note of how it is positioned in the chain. The new Makita 1823 Power Tool Battery will need to be placed in a position so that its polarity matches the original battery. Re-solder the new battery into the chain.
- Step 6
Repeat this process with each individual “dead” rechargeable battery cell within the Makita drill battery pack.
- Step 7
Place the link of batteries back into the Makita 1835 cordless power tool battery pack and screw the case closed.
- Step 8
Place the newly repaired Makita 1835 power tools battery pack on the battery charger overnight.
