In this video I'm working on fixing something I haven't fixed before - 2 broken power tool battery packs. Since sometimes the battery is the post expensive part of a power tool it would be great if they were fixable. One is a DeWALT 20V Max Lithium Ion 5 AH battery and the other is Milwaukie 18V 2AH battery pack.

    My mom was diagnosed with stage 4 lymphoma… it was grim diagnosis and didn’t look good but she powered through it during covid by herself for her grandchildren and she made a full recovery you got this man!
  • @ccbbaaron
    I know a lot has already been said at this point so I'd like to simply say thank you. I look forward to you and your teams videos and am excited to see new content. I'm getting older and there aren't a lot of channels out there anymore I look forward to seeing new uploads. You've scratched that niche interest for me and kept me entertained for years. Hearing you talk about what you're going through in the same casual tone as all your other videos broke my heart a little. I also recognize that you're processing this in the best way for you, while trying to keep your community informed and entertained. I respect that a lot. Again, thank you.

    Steve, I don't care what you look like, you're a good guy and an electronics badass. You have the right to repair yourself too! Best wishes and good luck with treatment and recovery.
  • I don't really ever Comment on YouTube videos but I just want to say that the level of respect I have for you is immense. Not only are you battling one of the hardest battles human species has had to face your still putting out videos like a TANK! You inspire not only me but all of us who love you and what you do. You have inspired an entire generation to preserve the media we grew up with and treat it with the respect it deserves. Thank you for being you ❤

    My husband loves your videos and watches all the time. He told me about your diagnosis. I'm adding your to my prayer list and will continue to pray for your recovery. May God give your peace and courage. Keep that positive attitude! 🙏🏻
  • @relyTtheWorld
    Good luck on your treatment! I was diagnosed with nonhodgkins lymphoma when I was 11 and have been cancer free for 17 years. You got this!
  • Hi Steve, I work at Batteries Plus. I've done a lot of repairs on drill batteries and rebuilt them as well. For your DeWalt battery, the minimum voltage for the charger to recognize it needs to be charged would be 16 volts to about 15.5. This is because it has multiple different batteries in it and those batteries are 18650s. Each one of those batteries have a 3.7 volt charge. 18650s minimum voltage required to charge would be around 2.5 volts. Multiplying that by how many batteries it has gives you the minimum requirement for the charger to recognize it needs to be charged
  • @JoshOB21

  • @mgomez5606
    I had my prostate removed 15 months ago because I had cancer. It was like someone hit me with a bat when they told me. I was worried because I did not know how the future was going to be. The best news was that it had not spread and I wish the same for you. I have been getting my PSA checked so that my count does not start going back up. God bless you and stay positive. You will get thru this.
  • @jakeyr96

Countless hours of knowledge and entertainment have come from you and you massively nurtured my passion for repairs! so thanks so much! Take care man❤
  • @eMKayyoUwhY
    I wish you the best Steve for the upcoming months. It shocked me hearing this about your health, but you'll beat this terrible illness. Thanks for sharing.
