This video provides a thorough explanation of a common problem faced by many users of Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries like SOK batteries. It often appears to customers that their batteries have died after just one cycle and they won't take a charge. However, the video makes it clear that there's nothing wrong with the battery; it's the charger which requires voltage to function properly. A series of simple solutions are given to wake the battery back up which include using an adjustable power supply or any other battery with voltage between 11 and 14.6 Volts.
The video features a live demonstration involving an AIM 75 Amp charger and a fully depleted battery. It walks the viewer through each step of the process, from checking the voltage to connecting the batteries, making the instructions very easy to follow. For those who may not have a power supply on hand, the video suggests using jumper cables as an alternative. The video reiterates it's not the fault of the battery but the charger, ending with some options of smart chargers and controllers that can revive fully depleted batteries.
