Watch this video first:

What is the Lock Status ?

If you connected all wires correctly then, the chip is Locked.

My problem is on Charging tab there are no meter to see each cell voltage like discharging tab. It is missing. Can't see voltage status of each cell. I hope in next update this feature will be added. This is very useful in many circumstances.

Your reset licence is still active! The problem is that the chip is not supported for reset.

You have BQ20Z451 V5.17 Apple firmware.

NLBA Supports BQ20Z451 up to V5.0

This is described in the official chip suppport page.

 

 

But anyway your battery is working fine. What do you want to do with it?

Your reset is not gone, it is the same and supports all the chips which are on the website.

We just added a new chip for Apple Macbook batteries newer than 2012. This chip is not presented on the website yet. We want to offer it for free for those who put a link from their websites to our NLBA1 product.

Hi. 

Just a simple question. Why in the new version of your software (V. 3.5.6) the "Wake-Up batterty" button, in the "Cells check" section, has been removed? I've been using it so many times. It was a usefull way to give the battery enough power to revitalize it. 

Still impressed for your great job!!! Bravo!

Vers 3.5.6 no more Wake Up battery button

Cells Check tab assumes battery is in working condition with SoC over 30%, it means output voltage already available at battery connector, so no need to wake up the battery. 

If battery is in sleep state, it means it was stored for too long or deeply discharged or locked, in such cases its not a subject for cells check, it should be recovered or repaired first. And Wake Up could be done for those batteries from the first Gui page using "Power On" button.

I removed "Wakeup battery" feature because it was useless and misunderstood by many users. People usually use the Wakeup battery to repair their batteries, but this feature has nothing to do with repairing. I don't know how you "revitalized" batteries. It was designed at the beginning when we had no experience. Now we know that it does not help so we removed it.
