    Frankenstein's Components.

    Yeah, I knew lol. My nailers and other tools are 18v so the adapters are perfect. We don’t have the Dewalt ones in the Uk yet. I got mine on Ebay between £9 and £13. Some of them have a usb outlet on too. Never used it though as I have the genuine one!.

    Can you help me revive a dead battery?

    It’s not the voltage you are after. It’s just a tiny zap to the battery. Then try charging it. Leave connector connected. Martin

    Can you help me revive a dead battery?

    No, you will only be one second. Attach wires to your power source then have a wire in each hand. Hold one wire with your thumb, pressing it on the pcb connection. Then with your other hand touch the other wire to the other connection. The adapter may work. I have never tried. I always have...

    Can you help me revive a dead battery?

    Sorry, I didn’t notice those. Use those wires to jump the battery.

    Can you help me revive a dead battery?

    You have to use your imagination!. Push wires into connector? Hold wires to bottom of connector on pcb? Remove a bit of wire insulation and make your connections? Remove battery heat shrink to get to connections? Push pin headers on connector? Many many ways. Martin

    Can you help me revive a dead battery?

    This is NOT recommended. You can jump start some dead batteries. Use a 9 to 12v DC battery and jump yours for only ONE second. A tiny spark may be seen. Then try charging with your charger. Repeat a couple of times if it doesn’t work first time. You may need to jump it while connected to the...

    Induction cooktop

    Nobody can say what the reference designators refer to without a schematic. Have you tried the manufaturers website or contacted them? Martin

    RX-V520

    What implies this? Is it dead, no lights etc? Have you checked voltages to the unit? Martin

    Replacing fets for a DC-AC inverter?

    Maybe. But there is a chance that a defective device was an accident waiting to happen. It may prove a reasonable unit once repaired. Martin

    BTW, top is series and bottom is parallel. No need to ever ‘assume’ again. Martin

    A Funny Thing Happened on the way to this circuit

    LEDs can be connected either series, parallel or a combination of both depending on the circuit and voltage available. There is a great resource section on this forum here , that will explain all you need to know about LEDs. Martin
