CAN I REPAIR MY MAKITA BATTERY WITH ARDUINO?

Here i have a Makita battery with the double flashing light lockout. It neither works in a tool, nor will it charge. The battery is not that old and is a 5ah 1850B. ( I believe this means 18 v and the 50 is for 5ah). I watched as many videos on the interweb but still it proved troublesome as you will see..... A simple piece of code was the problem in the end. I downloaded the Open Battery information from: https://github.com/mnh-jansson/open-b.... Visual code studio from visual code and python from python. I will make a short video with all the steps to help you carry out these tasks easily shortly. I hope this helps./ All the best and thanks for watching. Please comment, like and subscribe.
