Problem with a6000


refillable

Recommended Posts

Hello, everyone.

 

First, I would like to introduce myself. I am Daris Alfafa, or refillable, 17 years old from Indonesia. I'm new to this forum and I think I hope joining this forum would help me understand and learn new stuff about photography in general and Sony alpha gears.

 

So the problem that I'm facing here is, I have 2 batteries for my Sony A6000. However, one day, I dropped one of the batteries from about 3' to a hardwood floor. After that fall, it won't charge at all. When I charge the battery, the charging LED will light up for quite some time (I'd say about half a minute), then it will turn off after that, indicating that it's not charging. I can't get the camera functioning with that particular battery. I know this is not an urgent problem as I have 2 batteries, but I'd like to ask a few questions.

 

1. Is the battery damaged? What are the chances?

2. If it's damaged, is it possible to fix it?

3. What should I do if you can't really fix it?

 

Thanks, I would appreciate your help.

 

I mistakenly posted this on the wrong section. Apologize for that, can you move this thread, anyone?

Trash it [properly recycled if possible]

but do not use it anymore. Faulty lithium

ion batteries are serious fire hazards !

 

And on the same page, if you ever think

you've got another questionable lithium

ion battery, if you are recharging one to

see if it's OK, NEVER leave the charger

and battery unattended. Keep an eye

[and a nose] open for any hint of fire.

I think so.

 

Batteries are best not dropped in any case.  It might be that a connector is bent or has been moved because of the impact.

 

You can list this under one of your 'very unlucky experiences'.  I've dropped my batteries a few times and they all still work.

Hello, thanks for the reply.

 

So that means you are 100% sure that the fall caused an irreversible damage?

 

Thanks.

What it means is that WHATEVER causes damage to ANY lith-ion battery will

cause irreversible damage because one does NOT ever attempt to reverse any

damage to a lith-ion battery. Regardless of anyone's personal finances and their

geo-economic local situation, the cost of a battery is miniscule relative to the risk

involved, and further cost of the resulting damage, if a battery catches on fire.
