0v 18650 - How the CID works

Published 2016-04-26
If you've watched videos on people trying to vent 18650's or blow them up with high current overcharges this is the device that "spoils the fun" when things start heating up. First this disc pops, but with increased pressure buildup it splits and vents.
Be careful! Don't burn your house down trying to save a few bucks, you aren't going to find a really good cell that has been through this. In testing capacities after "resetting" a few cells they all appear to have lost 1/2 or more of their original capacity.

excelent video, I overcharged a pack with the wrong charger and started hearing popping , immediately the pack went to 0 volts, after disassembling each 18650 some had 0 volts , after using your technic they are back to around 4 volts , thanks again for a simple full of info video 👍

I heard a hiss come out of mine as I was doing this. It went 0 Volts to 2.32 Volts. Very interesting... To the charger I go with it now. Thank you for this informational video!
-
few of my 0v 18650 cells were already in the dustbin, moment I saw this video I pick them back up and they are now back to life! Big thanks!
-
It's really awesome video. This video is more sharp than any videos that is recovered from 0v to its original capacity. Thanks a lot!!!
-
Love your simplicity and openness man. Great find.
-
Such a rare moment of experience, when a youtuber is actually really useful and makes all the difference - thank you very much!
-
Thank you for the knowledge, I knew there was a safety device but nothing more. I know Li batteries can be hazardous so I never explored them. I still will not reset the device, but I like having the knowledge of what likely happened if it tripped.
-
Excellent finding! Thanks for sharing! I know it's been almost 5 years :)

The most accurate and detailed video about reviving 18650 long sitting almost dead lipo battery...i've seen many videos abou it and tried the same technique but couldn't get to light up a single led bulb...my issue was i don't have a multimeter at hand and tested my 6 dead batteries on a led bulb and a couple of other small light sources, didn't work so i am about to thriw them away for shit, THEN came along this great explanatory tutorial that actually shows how they work inside the positive pole, and that is what i was looking for, seeng what's inside and the functionning of it so that i can figure out a smarter way to revive the battery... Pheww, just getting pumped up now on how to properly get that bumped up cone to go down and hopefully reviving the cell battery...im about to try the led again right now and hopefully it will work out as intended... Thanks again

Best video iv watched for a while amazing find there I'm just repairing a work colleges drill battery and found half of them are 0v thanks for the info

I've been tweaking with my 0v 18650 2p pair from my laptop battery for 4 hours, I tried putting it on charge and everything, this was the problem, thank you, now I don't have to spend to get a new battery, I understand the risks involved in using such a battery but it is what it is
-
thank you it is good to know the basic of recovery .
-
thank you i just saved 2 vape batteries and am pissed i threw away like one hundred dollars of them in the past like 10 years. i clearly over charged them all back in my day. but this taught me alot anyway, thankyou brother.
-
Interesting to see this feature on the 18650, thanks.
-
Interesting! I've been watching a few 18650 teardowns and I'm realizing that there's a lot more engineering in them than meets the eye.
-
It's a very useful video help to rescue 18650 battery which unable to charge! Thank you for sharing.

AWESOM. I have also awake a lot of cell by applying this mathod. It is effective when the cell is completely showing 0 volt. Very good explained.

You sir are a hero! Lol. I was about to cut into my LG cell and decided to do a quick search. Glad you did this man! Thank you!

thanks for the post. I've run across this many time and I have just sat them to the side. Now that I have a good idea what the problem is I can attempt to get them back in service. Here's a idea if pressure tripped the safe device, use pressure to reset it. I'm thinking about 1 to 3 psi should be enough.

OMG maaaan, thank you so much. Been busting my head for a week now to why few of them just died suddenly
