IKEA Drill Battery Replacement

Introduction

Go to step 1 ↓

The requirements for replacing the battery are the usage of a 4 mm Phillips screwdriver, a soldering iron station, a utility knife, heat shrink tubes and two lithium batteries (3.6 V). Make sure how to use a soldering iron, especially in combination with batteries. If you are not familiar with (replacing) batteries, it might be a good idea to search for some information about how batteries work. Last but not least, create a work environment with good lighting and a clean desk. The replacement requires attention and concentration.

      • The wire should be warm enough to solder the battery to the wire.

      • Slide the tubings on each connection and heat each tubing with a lighter to make them shrink.

The difficult and dangerous operation is the tag connection to the Li-ion battery case. The Weller soldering iron shown in (7) has the wrong shape solder tip. The connection to a Li-ion must be made quickly and without significant heating of the Li-ion. Connections are usually spot welded but an amateur could try a solder gun.

The replacement batteries should be Li-ion size 18650 of at least 1500 mAh and identical. These are available with tags already attached and I would buy these and crimp to the tags. I have not done this myself because I found the receipt and the drill was bought 3 years ago so it is going back. The batteries were manufactured 4 years before I bought the drill so they were old when I bought it.

Anyone know where I can get new brushes for the motor? Or a motor itself? Everything else works fine on my now 12 year old drill!
