How to Test Xhorse Dolphin New Version Battery is Good or Not

How to measure the new version battery for Xhorse Dolphin XP005/XP005L key cutting machine?

Purpose:

Check if the new version battery (XP05BAGL) is in good or bad condition.

Procedure:

Here is the battery appearance.
Unscrew the 8 screws to check battery layout.

Detailed Annotation
1 Indicates “PWR ON“, which is the power switch.
a Indicates GND
b Indicates VCC 3V
c Indicates VCC 5V

1. Method for measuring the battery cell
If the measured voltage is 3.3 V according to the method shown in the figure, it indicates that the battery cell is in good condition.
Note： The coating on the 3.3V test point needs to be removed to measure the voltage.

2. Measure BMS

2.1 Method A for measuring BMS
If the measured voltage value is 5V, it indicates that the BMS is in good condition.

Note: The power switch needs to be turned on.

This method is based on the back cover being removed.
Note: The coating on the 5V test point needs to be removed to measure the voltage.

2.1 Method B for measuring BMS

If the back cover is not removed, the PWR ON should be short-circuited as shown in the diagram and then test a & c as last page.
If the measured voltage value is 5V, it indicates that the BMS is in good condition.

How to Cut Schlage Key Blank with Xhorse Dolphin XP005

 Question:

Can a SC1 blank be cut by numbers with the Xhorse dolphin xp005 key cutting machine? Have the M4 clamp. But I only have numbers to work with. No original keys.

Solution:

Yes, Xhorse Dolphin will cut SC1 household key blank by numbers.

The 10 depths are 0-9 for a sc1. On the dolphin you can’t use 0. This means that you must input all 1 digit higher…a 0 is inputted as a 1….1=2…so on…9=10
Input these screen shots under custom key data and this should work for you. Just when put key on m4 clamp, align shoulder to the clamp. Do not use the spacer.

Just search for depth and space charts and convert to mm if it’s in inches..and plug values in.

You can also buy the key profile or do it yourself. Like best keys, sch, kw, y11, y12, and some more.

How to Check if Xhorse Dolphin XPP05 Battery is Dead

 XHORSE Dolphin XP005L Battery Working Principle & Charging Failure Analysis:

1. Battery Structure

• The battery consists of 7 individual cells managed by a Battery Management System (BMS).

2. BMS Communication Failure Symptoms

• If the battery charge level is missing from the display, the BMS has stopped communicating. Possible causes:

  • The green connector is not fully seated in the battery pack.

• • The BMS entered sleep mode due to critically low pack voltage (non-recoverable if voltage drops too low).

3. Charging Failure Causes

• Failed cell(s): A single faulty cell can prevent charging.

• Voltage imbalance: The BMS halts charging if cell voltages deviate beyond safe limits.

A battery refusing to charge can be caused by a failing cell in the battery pack. To diagnose:

1. Go to Settings and touch the Battery to open the battery screen.

2. On the VS, you will see the voltage of each cell.

3. The 8th and final voltage reading shows the difference between the highest and lowest cell voltages.

The BMS will likely stop charging if it detects an abnormal cell voltage.

2 Ways to Identify HU162T HU162T 8 Cuts, 9 Cuts and 10 Cuts

 As titled, how to distinguish VAG HU162T 8-Cut, 9-Cut and 10-Cut key blades? So we can properly cut keys using xhorse dolphin or condor key cutting machines.

The picture shows the side of the 3 keys.
From top to bottom, they are 8-cut, 9-cut and 10-cut.

The 8-cut (HU162T (8)) key is the easiest to distinguish.

It has only one fixed cut on the side and is straight.
The effective surface is on the top.

The 9-cut and 10-cut key can be quickly distinguished by the position of the effective surface.

The effective surface of 9-cut key is on the top, while the effective surface of 10-cut key is on the bottom.

It is also possible to distinguish them by the number of cuts.
9-cut key has 3-side cuts

10-cut key has 4-side cuts.
