Most laptop batteries are smart and consist of the “chemical battery” that is managed by the “digital battery.” A common protocol is the System Management Bus, better known as SMBus.
The typical SMBus battery has five or more battery connections consisting of positive and negative battery terminals, thermistor, clock and data. The connections are often unmarked; however, the positive and negative are commonly located at the outer edges of the connector and the inner contacts accommodate the clock and data. (The one-wire system combines clock and data.) For safety reasons, a separate thermistor wire is brought to the outside. Figure 1 illustrates a battery with six connections.

The positive and negative terminals are usually placed on the outside; no norm exists on the arrangement of the other contacts.
Some batteries are equipped with a solid-state switch that is normally in the “off” position and no voltage is present at the battery terminals. Connecting the switch terminal to ground or pulling it up often turns the battery on. If this does not work, the pack may need a code for activation. Battery manufacturers keep these proprietary codes a well-guarded secret to which even service personnel have no access.
Use a voltmeter to locate the positive and negative battery terminals and establish the polarity. If no voltage is present, a solid-state switch may be in the “off” position and needs activating. Connect the voltmeter to the outer terminals, take a 100-Ohm resistor (other values may also work), tie one end to ground and with the other end touch each terminal while observing the voltmeter. Repeat by tying the resistor to a positive voltage potential. If there is no response, then it is possible that the battery is dead or locked by a code. The 100-Ohm resistor is low enough to engage a digital circuit and high enough to protect the battery against a possible electrical short.
Establishing the connection to the battery terminals should now enable charging. If the charge current stops after 30 seconds, an activation code may be required. Some battery manufacturers add an end-of-battery-life switch that turns the battery off when reaching a certain age or cycle count. They argue that customer satisfaction and safety can only be guaranteed by regularly replacing the battery. Mind you, such a policy also rotates inventory.
If at all possible, connect the thermistor during charging and discharging to protect the battery against possible overheating. Use an ohmmeter to locate the internal thermistor. The most common thermistors are 10 Kilo Ohm NTC, which reads 10kΩ at 20C (68F). NTC stands for negative temperature coefficient, meaning that the resistance decreases with rising temperature. In comparison, a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) causes the resistance to increase. Warming the battery with your hand is sufficient to detect a small change in resistor value when looking for the correct terminal on the battery.
After repair, the fuel gauge might not work, is inaccurate or provides wrong information. The battery may need some sort of an initialization/calibration process by fully charging and discharging the pack to reset the flags. A “flag” is a measuring point to mark and record an event(See BU-603: How to Calibrate a “Smart” Battery)
The circuits of some smart batteries must be kept “alive” during the replacement of the cells. Disconnecting the voltage for only a fraction of a second can erase vital data in the memory. An analogy is open-heart surgery where doctors must keep all organs of the patient alive. The lost data could contain the resistor value of the digitized shunt that is responsible for the coulomb counter and other data.
To assure continued operation when changing the cells, supply a secondary voltage of same voltage level through a 100-Ohm resistor to the circuit before disconnection. Remove the outside supply only after the circuit receives voltage again from the new cells. Furthermore, some fuel gauge chips run wires to each cell. These must be reassembled in the correct sequence beginning with cell one, then two, three and so forth.
You will also need to be aware of compliance issues. Unlike other regulated standards, the SMBus allows variations and this can cause problems. The repaired SMBus battery should be checked for compatibility with the charger. Batteries for critical uses, such as heathcare, are typically replaced and not repaired.

Simple Guidelines when Repairing Battery Packs
- Only connect cells that are matched in capacity. Do not mix cells of different chemistries.
- Never charge or discharge Li-ion batteries unattended without a working protection circuit. Each cell must be monitored individually with a protection circuit.
- Include a temperature sensor that disrupts the charge current on high heat.
- Apply a slow charge to a repaired pack to bring all cells to parity.
- Pay attention when using an unknown brand. Elevated temperature hints to an anomaly.
- Li-ion is sensitive to reverse polarization. Observe correct polarity.
- Do not charge a Li-ion battery that has physical damage, has bulged or has dwelled at a voltage of less than 1.5V/cell for some time.
- Check a repaired pack for self-discharge. Intrinsic defects often have high self-discharge.

Comments
I appreciate your write up on laptop battery repairs.
Please when a laptop battery is replaced and there is no voltage at the outer terminals, but there is at the battery terminal.
(1) What are the appropriate steps to take to get this rectified without damaging the BMS.
(2) Where is the switch or reset on laptop BMS
(3) What is the fuse in the laptop BMS
Will appreciate a response from you.
Thank you.

SIR, My laptop ASUS X540S, three month ago his battery had a cell from three damaged and I continued to use it like that. The battery has 3 cells, the middle one had 0V, the two others had 3.88V and I replaced the damaged with a new one. Unfortunately now the battery seems disconnected from the charger. I see 13% available (plugged in, charging), but battery do not charge. When disconnected, the 3-d terminal shows 3,2V, the 8 others 0V. When charger is connected : terminals 1 and 2 have 0,06V, 3 have 3,2V, 4 0V, 5 and 6 have 3,25V, terminals 7,8 and 9 have 0V. When system started, nothing change. My question, which terminal is the switch one ? If I connect to ground through 100 ohms any terminal, do I risk to damage the computer ? What should I do ?

To Nadahm How to recharge the battery? The answer depends on many factors. Mostly on the tools (hardware = material that you have) and intellectual tools, knowledge) note that my method is not necessarily economical! How I do, I have a milling machine; I bore a hole at each end of the battery at the center of the cells location By doing this, it enables me to have access to the cells within the battery and measure the voltage Usually it is not sufficient; I bore some holes on the top of the casing (opposite side that is externally exposed on the laptop) That gives me access to each cell. From there I poke wires and recharge each cell individually I charge at 4.0V and 0.5A max rating for each cell. The reason is the cells are not dead equally, and because they are connected in series, the weak ones would receive too high of a charge rate This could result in fire or explosion Google, e cigarette on fire if you want to see what is involved After the charge and equalize operation, the battery assembly is placed in the computer The next step is, does-it communicate? I use a software batterycare to find out If the battery does not communicate, its useless to peruse = scrap If it communicates, one would see the state of charge…and so on However, sometimes (often) there are damaged components on the battery management board Again I cut the casing, without destroying-it! Very often it is the protection device (a fuse system) that is blown, I repair-it as oppose to replacing the part As you can see this is not economical!

Hi, I mistakenly, connected a reversed polarity charger(19 V) to my ASUS notebook, it shut down instantly. I removed the wrong charger and connected the correct one and started the notebook, it started normal and run for 1 hour, showing 0% charge,with charging message. After 1 hour it shut-off. I started again, it started for 5 minutes then shuts off. I removed the battery, plugged the charger, it does not run at all. But with battery installed it runs for few minutes then off again. I tried many times, same thing. I think the notebook only runs on battery now as the 1 hour work was due to a remaining charge in the battery. I plugged the charger for hours, orange LED indicator is on, but when starts for few minutes it shows [0% charge-charging] Wondering what is the expected damage and how can I charge the battery without installing to the notebook ?

One must know there is a firmware in this controller and this "blocked state" issue can occur due to a firmware/hardware bug. If you have a warranty don't try this, just claim for a replacement.

Can some one give me pinout for HP zt3200 battery model no cs-cnx7000 or equivalent? The problem currently I have is the following. When the laptop is powered on through mains adapter, charging indicator red light of the laptop comes up for few seconds and the light goes off. Laptop boots normally. On checking the battery status it shows 0% charge. I had taken out and opened the battery. One pair of cells were dead and I replaced those cells. Discharged all ceels manually. Then charged the cells manually upto 3.7 volts. Individual Cell voltages were from 3.69 to 3.71 volts. Put the battery again into laptop but the problem remains. Battery showing 0% charge but it didn't charge. I have checked the voltages at pins. Several pins show voltages ranging from 2.5 to 14 volts. However, non of the pin takes any load indicating that the battery is not allowing power to flow out i.e. the output current seems to be limited by the electronic circuit attached to the battery. any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

My HP laptop G series battery has hardly ever been used. My sister has the same laptop and she uses hers all the time, has even had it longer than mine. She keeps her battery charging all the time. She has no issues. Just out of the blue, my battery won't hold a charge for very long. I read online that you can "jump start" a battery with a USB cable with the positive and negative wires stripped. Basically, you zap the battery. The online description talks about locating the positive and negative connectors but doesn't make mention of these laptop batteries like in the pic above. Is there a way to jump start the battery or to do a reconditioning procedure (whatever that may be) to get the battery to hold it's charge? Right now, it only lasts for about 30 minutes when in the past it lasted for several hours or more.

In my case I have a 3 cell battery pack from a lenovo netbook, ideapad s10e. It has a 7pin connector. The first pin is the positive and the last (the 7th) is the negative (ground). The individual cells are all new and fully charged (4,2v each). Being connected in series the voltage of the pack is 12.6v. However, the solid state switch cuts off current to the positive pin. What if I connect it directly to the red wire from the battery? Thank you for your time!

I have done multiple checks to confirm this. Would it be possible to connect the A/C power to the battery port directly, since this is the only way to feed power into the Motherboard, and if so, how. I shall give a few ideas I have come up with, any thoughts are welcome: 1. Removing the cells in the battery and connecting the A/C terminals directly to the battery terminals, hence feeding A/C through there. 2. Leaving the battery intact, but insulating off the negative and positive terminals of the battery, then feeding A/C through these terminals onto the motherboard, to "trick" it into thinking a working battery is connected. Thanks in advance for the help.

I have just brought a new charger for my Toshiba laptop to replace an old one that had a wire exposed and damaged. The new charger is supplying the correct voltage and turns my computer on and displays 0% available (plugged in,not charging) Is there power surge protectors installed to avoid damaging your battery or computer hardware on toshiba laptops? Could the damaged wire have caused a problem with the battery or with my laptop itself ?

I have a PowerBook g4. The power port on My dc in power board where my power cord plugs in has gone bad. Apple doesn't make the part anymore so now I'm stuck with a computer that can't power up. I saw that they sell an external battery charger for all laptops. Is it possible to use my existing power cord and hook it up to my battery to charge it? If yes can you describe in detail how to do so?

Hello, I was inquiring about the C7000 series in order to wake up a couple Dell laptop batteries that have resisted taking any charge after being away from the laptop for an extended period of time. I was given the following as part of the response: "Testing Dell Laptop batteries, can however, be a challenge as in many cases they have a protection circuit in the batteries which doesn't allow it to "handshake" or communicate with the analyzer to get the charge going." 1. Is there any reliable way to get around the handshake issue? 2. How do I know which Dell laptop batteries have that problem? 3. I understand it was only the older laptop batteries and not the newer ones that are affected. Is that correct? Thanks, Steve

Ramya, answers: 1 -Can the laptop be used without battery but being plugged in? yes it can. Of course in the event of power failure it will go off on the moment. 2.If battery is charged fully but stilled being plugged in, what is the risk? Almost none. Li-ion batteries permanently lose capacity. The rate of losing capacity is proporcional to temperature. IF they are exposed to hot temperatures they will have shorter lifes. So, best way to prolong battery life is to charge it to full capacity and store it in the fridge when not needed. Its not very practical dough. 3.In certain circumstances of updating, Windows needs th laptop to be plugged in,why is it necessary/ This happens whenever the time expected to complete the operation is very long. So, if the computer was being run on battery it would be probable it will discharge before the task was done.
