BL1815 - DIY upgrade to 3Ah in the same five-cell housing


Sneaky

Recommended Posts

In Australia, we don't get the 2Ah entry levels batts for the LXT platform - we get 1.5Ah instead. 

 

I'm hoping to upgrade BL1815 batts with INR 30Q 3000mAh 15Amp Hi-Drain; There's nothing wrong with the batts in the BL1815's I have - any issues replacing healthy cells with higher-amperage cells?

 

Many thanks :)

Hello.

Don't use Samsung 30Q in 5S1P package. Use Sony VTC6 if you want slim 3,0Ah battery. Good choice is Samsung 25R, Sony VTC5 or VTC5A. Higher amperage, safer to use with drill in 1 row of cells(in my opinion)

I can't say that nothings happens after dissasembly healthy pack. Sometimes the PCB can lock it self after losing voltage or current. Then you stuck, but aftermarket PCB are avalible - i think in Australia.
