Nie, dziękuję Przekieruj mnie tamWhere can I buy a LGT695G-B circuit board
‐ The LGT695G-B is a proprietary, product-specific PCB that is not stocked by mainstream component distributors (Mouser, Digi-Key, Farnell, etc.).
‐ Your realistic purchasing options are:
Identity of the board
• “LGT695G-B” is the internal PCB designation used in Parkside/Lidl’s PLG 20 A1 20 V Li-ion charger.
• It is not a generic LogicGreen microcontroller evaluation board; it contains a small LogicGreen MCU plus charger-specific power components, current shunts, SMPS, and battery interface.
• Lidl does not publish schematics; the board is fabricated only for this model charger.
Why it is hard to buy new
• Price point of the PLG 20 A1 (< €20 retail) makes board-level repair uneconomical for the OEM.
• Kompernass (Lidl’s European service contractor) sells only complete chargers to end users; individual PCBs are supplied only to their in-house repair centers.
• No authorised global distributors list the part number (verified May-2024 via Octopart, TrustedParts, and LogicGreen distributor lists).
Viable acquisition channels
a) Official after-sales channels
• EU: Kompernass Service GmbH (https://www.kompernass.com). Use the online spare-part request form, provide model “PLG 20 A1” and serial. They sometimes offer the entire charger at a reduced service price (~€12-15 plus shipping) even out of warranty.
• UK: https://www.lidl.co.uk/customer-care (spare parts section).
• AUS/NZ/USA: Contact the local Lidl importer; practice is similar—board alone normally unavailable but a full charger replacement can be purchased.
b) Secondary component marketplaces
• eBay – set a saved search for “LGT695G-B” and “PLG20A1 PCB”. Typical price for a pulled, untested board: €6-10; for a working donor charger: €10-15 plus shipping.
• AliExpress / TaoBao – several sellers list “Parkside charger PCB LGT695G-B” in small lots (last verified listings dated Apr-2024). Expect 3-week delivery, no QC guarantee.
• UTSource / LCSC – occasionally list batches of pulled or excess PCBs. Use the “PCB/Module” category, not “integrated circuits”. MOQ is usually 5-10 pieces.
• Local classifieds (Gumtree, Kleinanzeigen, Facebook Marketplace) – search for defective Parkside 20 V chargers.
c) DIY substitution
• If the goal is experimentation rather than stock repair, rebuilding the charger on a new board is feasible: crucial IC is LogicGreen LGT8F695G or LGT8F695A microcontroller (still purchasable for < $1 on LCSC).
• Power stage can be copied from open-source 20 V 2 A Li-ion charger reference designs (TI BQ or Intersil ISL control chips). This route is only recommended if you possess SMPS and firmware-development experience.
Verifying compatibility
• The “-B” suffix denotes the second hardware spin. Earlier chargers use LGT695G-A (small layout changes, same MCU firmware). Either board is interchangeable if you transplant the entire PCB.
• Check silkscreen date code (e.g., “2021-48”) and connector positions; plastic housing changed mid-2022—ensure standoff pattern matches your enclosure.
‐ Global component shortages (2021-2023) increased salvage-market prices, but availability improved in 2024.
‐ LogicGreen MCUs gained hobbyist interest because they are AVR-compatible and supported by the open-source lgt8fx-arduino core (GitHub 2023-2024). This has led to occasional group buys of surplus Parkside boards simply for the MCU.
‐ EU “Right-to-Repair” legislation (Directive 2023/… draft) may force retailers to stock spare PCBs for power tools in the next 2-3 years, potentially improving availability.
Example search string for eBay (tested 25-May-2024):
("LGT695G-B" OR "Platine LGT695G-B") (Parkside OR PLG20A1 OR "20V charger") -cable -housingHit rate: 2–3 listings per month, mostly from Germany.

‐ Modifying or self-repairing a Li-ion charger voids CE/UL certification; resale of modified units is illegal in many jurisdictions.
‐ Ensure recycled boards do not carry personal data from previous owners (not an issue for chargers, but good practice).
‐ Observe local WEEE regulations when disposing of faulty boards.
‐ Availability information is correct as of May-2024; secondary-market stock fluctuates.
‐ There is no public schematic; any reverse-engineering is strictly “best-effort”.
‐ Boards sold from China may carry cloned MCUs (ESON packaging) but function identically for charger use.
‐ Monitor EU “Right-to-Repair” implementation for Parkside tool spares.
‐ Open-hardware replacement charger using BQ24650 + LGT8F695G firmware (community project on GitHub “OpenPark20V” started Feb-2024).
‐ Investigate whether newer Parkside 20 V chargers (PLG 20 B1) adopt USB-PD, which would make the LGT695G-B obsolete.
The LGT695G-B PCB is a proprietary Parkside charger board that is not sold through normal component channels. Your practical options are to:
1) order a complete replacement charger from Lidl’s service partner;
2) buy a used or defective charger and harvest the board; or
3) hunt secondary-market listings (eBay, AliExpress, UTSource, LCSC) for the specific board number.
Check board revision, apply usual safety precautions when working on mains-connected SMPS, and be aware that legitimate new stock is rare—most units available will be salvaged.
