All you need is for one cell to drop out of spec and the charger will refuse to charge. A combination of the worst possible conditions ofr battery life: more frequent recharging of battery packs that aren’t sufficiently discharged. Who wants to have a tool die in use… go ahead and swap batteries early and drop it on the charger. I suspect that shorter battery life may have more to do with frequent “topping off” of batteries before they are more fully discharged. I see the logic of the approach, and it makes sense in a way, but it makes the use of Dewalt batteries with 3rd party tools kind of risky. I believe that there is cutoff circuitry, its just in the tool instead of the battery and the cell balancing circuitry is in the charger (at least as far as the latest “20V” batteries and the brushless tool models are concerned).

Some are even completely handheld, with no external wires or power supplies to speak of.
#Dewalt 20 volt battery will not charge portable#
The high power density of lithium rechargeable batteries has led to a proliferation of portable soldering irons in recent years. The design also features a lithium-ion battery protection circuit of ’s own design, to make up for the fact that DeWalt don’t integrate them into their battery packs. This allows him to use the rig with a wide variety of common soldering iron handpieces, like his favored Hakko FX-951.
Armed with this tool, included it as part of a simple compact portable soldering iron design that relies on the off-the-shelf T12-952 controller board. It’s a little piece of plastic with spade terminals inserted to act as the contacts. The build relies on a simple 3D-printed adapter to suck power from a DeWalt drill battery. Thus, he set about to build such a rig himself. noticed that Ryobi was using them to power soldering irons, but no such tool existed in the DeWalt range. Power tool batteries are a convenient portable power supply for all manner of different things.
