I have a cordless impact that the Batteries stopped charging in. It is from snap-on so and out of warranty on the Batteries. It use eight Moli IBR-18650B batteries. Do any one know where I could get these or another model of the 18650 battery class that would work?[External image (e2e.ti.com), not copied]
Ebay has rebuild kits or just brand new after market packs that are not priced too bad. I’m sure Snap on wants a pretty penny for a replacement. Soldering new cells in is a huge pain the ass from what I have seen https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=snap+on+battery&_sacat=0
Are they not holding a charge or are they just not charging? You could jump start them and hope the cells aren’t damaged. I think the Kobalt 24v batteries use Samsung 18650 batteries and they’re cheap.
The batteries won’t take a charge, and Snap-On wants around $180 for a new 18v 3.6aH pack. Unfortanitley none of the DIY Kits are for my pack. I think I’m just going to switch to the 5.0aH cells from the 3.6aH which seems to be what all the rebuilders are doing.
