Battery from AliExpress

You don't say where you acquired your batteries from, nor do you say what their history is - used?

I do see that there are ads that offer 'greenworks' batteries from Alibaba. Maybe they are counterfeit, maybe they are legitimate. Maybe they've been treated harshly in transit, maybe not.

Lithiium-Ion batteries explode in flames. Charging them wrongly is one way to make this happen.

No one knows what is happening with the batteries you have unless they open the casing and check them. You'll have to inspect each individual cell with the proper measurements.

No, they can't be repaired. You may be able to determine that some parts are still not damaged, and use those, but you'll need to replace any damaged cells or damaged electronics.

It may be obvious on inspection that a particular cell is damaged (scorching, physical breach of the casing, etc.) but it's rather uncertain if a cell is good.

"i dont look"

This is not the right attitude for working with parts that will burn your house down.

I recommend you begin here:
battery fires

I posted at work about Li batteries in cheap scooters. One of the responses was from a co-worker who is also a long-term volunteer with State Emergency Services here (DFES). He commented that he had lost count of the number of fires he had attended that were caused by people leaving battery packs on the charger all the time.

Do as you think best.

I looking for right person to service this.
Right now i know i need new charger, easiest way is to buy charger from aliexpress, but i am not sure if they are secure to use.

Are you asking if Aliexpress is secure to shop at? Yes it is. I know many that have shopped there including myself. Never a problem. Great prices, questionable quality and slow shipping. Use PayPal or a credit card so you have a means to dispute charges if that's what is worrying you.
 
If you can open it up and confirm its a real lithuim ion charge circuit designed to supply a constant voltage and cut off when balanced with the battery voltage, perhaps ? but otherwise leave well alone.

How much do you save by buying the ali-express charger, vs how much could you loose if it blew up batteries when left unattended? or worse..

Many of the well publicized battery fires can be traced to dodgy charging..

Aliexpress is a great resource for some things but not knock off chargers imho.

Amazon next day delivery.. seems a lot easier and quicker, and you can probably pick a known seller to buy from too? if you need a 220-240v version and cant find a local seller check out amazon,co,uk

Thats my question, i know its best to buy original but on my country greenworks dont ship chargers, i can get with some shipping forwarder but its slow and more pricy, but its worth it probably.

Dont sorry, i am thankfull for your willing for help.
Thats reason why i am ask i ali is good way to get charger, its easiest option for me.
 
Even with the extra costs and delays the only good advice would be to buy from an authorized dealer and to 'keep the receipts'.
