Let me explain....if you were to take apart any of these battery packs, you would find, normally, 6 individual 18650 cells, wired to provide the necessary volts....when these cells are allowed to discharge below a certain point, they will no longer register enough voltage, as a pack, to energize the circuitry and allow charging to begin. You need to "shock" the pack with another DC power source that is greater than the voltage of the pack when fully charged...an 18V pack might require 30 to 36 volts DC. Shocking occurs by touching +to + and - to -, good source to bad battery...hold for 2 seconds and release...you will raise the volts of the pack back up to a point where the charger will recognize the pack and charge it.

I have a McCulloch, that the hose rotted off the fuel strainer in the tank, I replace the hoses, it ran for awhile then stopped, removed the carb. an have cleaned, { 7 Times} it runs for awhile then stops, Usually I dump lighter fluid in the carb. if it starts Ign is OK if not its a fuel problem. You could check on the filter, I still have a problem with mine, its a pain when your on the roof an it stops. so check the fuel filter is the only thing I could suggest to you GOOD LUCK

SOURCE: I believe my Ryobi 12 VoltBattery Line trimmer need a new battery

First, check to see if the charger is working properly. To do this, recharge the battery for about 15 minutes. Then check to see if it now runs the trimmer. If so, then you have a bad battery. You can go on the WEB and find a replacement. These batteries or sensitive to heat and cold. When storing, try to place it in a comfortable environment. Sorry for your loss. If it still under warranty, check with the Co.

SOURCE: how to fix an old RYOBI 18 volt battery won't

take a hammer, and apply force. These batteries dont last forever... but i am serious about the hammer... you may be able to free up whats inside (if you know how a batterey works.)... also apply heat.. try to hit it from all angles than slam it down on the back and leave it sit... than try. I hope this works for you my dewalt batteries over the years have don this, and it works.. but BTW. it wont hold a charge for very long anymore.. the battery is pretty much garbage.

I bought a 18v ryobi hedge trimmer it came with a p102 battery, I had 2 p103 batteries why won't the p103's work in my hedge trimmer?

I do not know, but I have looked at generic battery versions as copies of those two and they seem one and the same in most respects.
So my thought is do they charge up? do they power anything else OK?
Then I would look at the contact areas to see if there is a difference like one has a longer contact or some bit of plastic is on one or not the other.
Many types I have found start out as specific, then over the years manufacturers sell out of older model types then decide to unify whats left to cover a slew of older models.
If charging is the issue then it is a real problem as these modern batteries require exact charging and if its controller finds a battery is below a safe charge up level point they become a brick.
Do not try to "fix" them as methods used on "tolerant" Nicad types to get them to work, is not safe on them they have a BAD reaction to overcharge situations.
If they are not that old maybe you can do a swap deal with Ryobi?

Hope this helps..........

14.4 volt cordless drill --- yelloow and green light on lo0nger than 15 minutes, cannot find user manual.

The battery will no longer take a charge. Time for a new one. I had 2 like this in the last month. The batteries where 5 years old and been charge for over 800 cycles each. Age and cycles will wear them out.

If the tools is still good jsut get new batteries. But check the prices. I just bought a new drill and saw set for $90 and 2 new batteries were $60. I got a new set, since the drill was 8 years old and worn out.

I have a Delta 18v charger model# CL180C. The unit gous on but does not charge the battery. I can not get the battery to stay on the yellow/red charging function. Any suggestions? Thank you Joe D.

If the charger doesn't read the battery and tell whether it is good or not, then the charger is probably at fault. It has a date code or a date stamped on it, if it is 2 years old or older, trash it. If it is less than that, take it back where you bought it, if they don't replace it, buy a Ryobi, all tools guaranteed for 2 years, all batteries, chargers, saws, everything they make, I don't buy anything but Ryobi, and we have a lot of tools. My whole truck is full of cordless tools. You can look up the code numbers on line, and check out the warranty.

Should I bring the battery of my Ryobi 18v grass trimmer inside for the winter?

Yes, and charge it up occasionally to keep it alive. Lithium batteries are costly and severe cold is not good for any type of battery.

Battery will not hold a charge

If the battery is one year old, it is shot. I have about 20 batteries under the bench and about 5 cordless drills , saws, lights, you name it , I won't buy anymore. I have a bunch of them, the batteries don't last. It is cheaper to buy a new kit with new batteries than to replace the batteries. No more.
