Hi all,
I have had success with most other battery packs, however I have a batch of Ego 56V battery packs that I seem unable to extract the cells from.
No matter how carefully I pry the spot welding off, it always results in the positive cap being removed at the same time. They seem to be welded extra solidly compared to other brand batteries. I can barely "roll" the pliers across the top of the cell and break away the spot welding, and any more force I either short out the cell, or pull out the positive cap, leaving an exposed thin wire and/or leaking electrolyte.
Has anyone else here on the forums had success extracting the cells from these battery packs? What's the technique with these ones?
After two battery packs destroyed by different methods of trying to remove these cells, I'm starting to wonder if it is just my technique or if these are a known difficult pack to disassemble?
Regards,
Des.
