Reads Battery Information stored inside the battery controller even when the battery is faulty and not detected by the laptop. Detects the Chip Name without opening the battery case.

Performs Quick Heath Test by analyzing the behavior of the battery during its lifetime.

Reads Cells Voltage in Seconds even when the battery is damaged, faulty or not detected by the laptop. This great feature can be used in recycling/extracting good cells from faulty laptop batteries.

Checks if the battery is Locked for charging or discharging. When the chip inside the battery detects a malfunction then the battery is locked for charging or discharging (Permanent Failure).

Computes the Cells Balance. This new feature checks the balance of the cells by inspecting the Voltage Deviation between the cells. The Maximum Imbalance is highlighted depending on how good it is.

NLBA1 device Charges almost All Laptop Batteries with a maximum current of 3.2 Amps. A great feature that helps you know if a battery can be charged by the laptop. The stop-charging conditions are fully customizable.

The Charging Process is Safe because the battery is charged in the same way the laptop does according to Smart Battery Charger Protocol. Moreover, the device continuously monitors the battery parameters and stops charging immediately an error is detected.

On an Intuitive Graphic, the battery current, battery voltage and cells voltages are plotted. The graph offers great experience by enabling zooming, tracing and analyzing of the values.

An Advance Log Analyzer logs the most important parameters during the charging process. The log can be analyzed in a professional way using Data Grid View and Chart View.

The Injected Capacity as well the Maximum Imbalance are computed to get a better view of the cells during charging.

Discharges the batteries with a current down to -3.2 Amps. Can discharge the battery in the same way a laptop does, helping to test the battery correctly. Fully customizable stop-discharging conditions.

Measures the Real Battery Capacity and the Maximum Cells Imbalance during the discharging process to get an accurate estimation of the battery condition.

Tracks voltage of the cells on the graph. A fantastic feature that lets the user analyze the voltage drop of each cell and estimate how good the cells are.

An Advance Log Analyzer logs the most important parameters during the discharging process. The log can be analyzed in a professional way using Data Grid View and Chart View.

The device can dissipate a power of 50w. The fan speed is controlled in a smart way to ensure maximum power dissipation while keeping noise as low as possible.

NLBA1 device can Calibrate Almost All Laptop Batteries. The calibration supports the Texas Instruments Impedance Tracking algorithm and its recommendations. A laptop battery that is not calibrated will show incorrect information to the Operating System.

Performs correct calibration cycle. A calibration cycle means the battery is Fully Charged > Fully Discharged -> Fully Charged. All these three phases are fully customizable (time, current,  state of charge, temperature, cells voltage, etc.).

Fully Customizable Calibration Process: Stop Charging Conditions, Relaxing Conditions and Stop Discharging Conditions are all fully customizable to suit any battery specification.

An Advance Log Analyzer logs the most important parameters during the calibration process. The log can be analyzed in a professional way using Data Grid View and Chart View.

The NLBA1 PC Software shows the capacity before and after calibration. During charging and discharging cycles the Real Battery Capacity, Max Imbalance, and Injected Capacity are measured with a high accuracy.

The device can compute the Internal Cell Resistance based on the DC load method. The resistance is measured using the battery’s high-performance chip able to achieve a resolution down to 1 mOhm.

The Cell’s Health is estimated based on the internal cell’s resistance and the cell’s temperature and it is displayed as Good, Poor or Bad. With this feature, the cells condition can be checked within seconds.

Wake Up The Battery is a feature that can revive those laptop batteries that have over-discharged cells but the chip is still not locked (these are typically batteries that are stored for a long period without charging). This feature generates special long and short voltage patterns with different currents to force the chip to rise the cells voltage and bring the battery back to normal.

The PC Software draws the correct configuration of the cells inside the battery.

The Maximum Imbalance is computed during the cells check phase. This parameter shows accurate information about the cells balance and how well they are balanced.

We are glad to announce that in February 2021 we released the Chip Reset/Repair Feature. This feature is optional and can be used by anyone who wants to repair laptop batteries.

Our implementation of this feature is User Friendly, and very easy to operate. It has three major steps: Read Battery Parameters, Select the Chip (usually done automatically) then perform the chip operations like Unsealing and Clearing Chip Errors.

Major features of this option:
– Unsealing the chips within seconds using master passwords
– Clearing the chip errors (Permanent Failure Flags)
– Read and Write EEPROM/DataFlash
– Edit parameters: Manufacturer Date, Cycle Count and FCC

NLBA1 device comes with 10 FREE days Reset/Repair Option, unlimited batteries, you can repair as few as 1 or as many as 1000 batteries for free.

Are you wondering how to find out the pinout of a laptop battery ? Now with the Find Battery Pinout feature the battery pinout will be displayed based on the entered Part or Model Number.

The database has more than 7000 battery pinouts and it is growing.

Moreso, the user can enter a new battery pinout to keep the database updated and help other users.

We have created a great tutorial on how to find out the pinout of any smart battery, please check it out here: Find Battery Pinout

Are you wondering what is the real condition of a laptop battery ? Why is the battery not charging or discharging ? The new feature Lock Status can determine the state of the chip. If the chip is Locked then a failure was detected and the battery has stopped charging and discharging. The failures are marked in orange.

Now, the Chip Name is automatically detected by the NLBA software, no need to open the battery enclosure.

A battery can be locked because the cells are imbalanced. A new feature was added to compute the Maximum Imbalance and show it in mV color coded in Green for Good, Orange for Poor and Red for Bad.

 

Do you want to test if a battery is functioning correctly in the laptop with just one click ?

A new feature called Functional Test has been added to perform a complete test for communication, charging, discharging, cells temperature, health, cycle count and health.

Each test result can be saved in a PDF file with a Unique ID together with the Test Laboratory details.

This functional test can be used to test if a battery is compliant with the IATA Guidance for Safety Transportation.

The new functional test feature saves the Test Report Result in a PDF format. The test report can be used to prove the battery was tested and the results are certified.

The PDF report contains the test Laboratory Information and shows the results saved under a unique Test ID. This PDF file can be used to prove the battery is in accordance with IATA Guidance and can be safely shipped by plane.

With this option, the customer cannot complain that the battery was changed or damaged when a laptop is left in a repair shop.

Are you wondering how Technical Support is offered ? Well, technical support is offered by the author of the device and his team through the community.

Who else could offer better support than the author of the device ?

Do you have a technical question about our device ? Just go to our community and post it there, we will respond timely.

Our community is the biggest Laptop Battery Repair Community in the world: NLBA1 PRO Laptop Battery Repair Community.

The NLBA1 hardware and software logs the most important parameters like Voltage, Current, SoC, Temperature, Cell1 to Cell4 voltage, FCC and BatteryStatus during charging, discharging and calibrating process.

Even if the process takes hours to finish, all important parameters are saved in a separate log file every two seconds.

Once the process is finished, the log can be analyzed using the built-in Advance Log Analyzer feature.

The Battery Status Flags are decoded and displayed to the user: OCA, TCA, OTA, TDA, FC, FD.

The logged parameters can be analyzed in two ways: using a Data Grid View mode or Chart View mode.
