Truth teller here!!!

It is a throw away society and it's pathetic! Why buy a new one even if you are a millionaire, if you have the means period!

@@PRSH8YAPROJECTS So what was/is the status of the battery now that it has been over a year?

Ya for sure it's a weird world we live in all these gen z's don't understand fix things anymore just throw money away

Yo bro just dont give a fuck this people just need everything done fast and easy lazzy slaves just wann consumm more shit and in the way throween the earth to the been with a fake smile on the way keep recikling until is no possible anymore.. stay safe and classic

My agm is dry inside,how do i fix this? Thanks in advance

@@phillemoncornelius1058 Dribble some distilled water into each cell with a syringe until the mat is fully wetted out. Only do a little at a time (maybe 5ml, or so) and attempt to charge each time. If the mat dries out during the charge, add a little more. You don't want to flood the cell. Just re-wet the mat. Make sure you use distilled water, as well. Don't use mineral water, or tap water, as the minerals in the water will ruin the cells.

What type of desulfator do you have? I have a Pulse Tech PowerPulse the company is in Texas.

@@josemedeiros007 It's a Vector Smart Battery Charger. Although, I think it's generic because I found the exact item with the Black & Decker name on it.

Sometimes sediment builds up on the bottom of cells shorting them. Try dumping the acid and washing the sediment, and adding new acid or old acid back in.

Check out my channel I've done this on a few wet cell batteries. Thanks for your comment. Don't forget to subscribe!

@@PRSH8YAPROJECTS I watched your old videos on this topic, but the conclusion was not as clear as this one. Check out my comments on those videos of yours, and I’m the same person.

I've seen a few videos where you can top off an AGM battery with distilled water, just not as high as a flooded lead acid battery. I topped my motorcycle AGM battery off with distilled water just to the top of the glass mat, just where the matt looks wet. But I've been seeing that you can't use this procedure on an AGM battery, I've read that it ruins them, IDK. Most sealed batterys, even if they say no maintenance batteries, have fill caps located under the sticker on top. I used a warm hair dryer to soften the sticker glue and carefully removed it and stuck it on a clean Ziplock baggy so that I can reattach later when I'm finished servicing it. The caps in this battery are all attached to a single strip at the top so you can't just remove one individual cap, you carefully pry them all up and they all stay attached to that strip. It's kinda hard to tell that there's caps under the sticker in my case, that strip looked like just part of the battery case so it can full you. I'm not sure if I want to try this with my welder or not, I just charged mine after adding a bit of water and I'll see how it does now, if that didn't do the trick then what do I have to lose(besides my face 🤣) by trying the welder method. And this welder also does DC pulse, not sure if the pulse function would work hooked to a battery or not or if there would be any benefit, just throwing it out there.

@@bodeine454 Hi...how is your agm battery after adding water? Did it charge now? Mine just won't charge After some deep cycles ...and after intense use in a UPS (im from Ukraine) no electricity for 12 hours and more

@@discovereelife4343 I did the DC welder method on the AGM battery and then charged it overnight and it's been good ever since. It's extremely cold here now so I do keep it plugged into a battery tender but during warmer weather it hasn't failed to start yet since.

Luke 21,36 KJV

As for charging you want to go for around 17 volts -for 5.minutes - then allow the battery to cool down for about an hour - If the battery is a junkyard dead battery you might have to do it 5 or 6 times - Also with AGM batterys there is a cover and most can be removed - just add water to the top of the plates no more than that - If it's a battery in service as in a car you might only need to de-sulfate it once or twice at 16 to 17 volts - I'm not sure if that welder will go down to 16 volts when it's real hot - - It won't work for all battrey's - in industry we de-sulfate battrey's all the time - up to 85° about 17 volts 85° and above about 16 volts - . Your driving the lead sulphate on the negative plate back into the water and the oxygen on in the positive plate back into the water - the oxygen combined with the sulfate making sulfuric acid once again - In industry it's called equalizing the battery but it's done at a low current till the battery in this case climbs to 15.5 to 17 volts depending on temperature

Amen. And learn to care for your batteries up front so they never discharge too much.

@@wellnesspathforme6236 Not really feasible when you have 9 cars and 5 pieces of heavy equipment

@@baronvolkov6172 I guess you do what you can with your most important vehicles, and make enough money to buy more batteries than you might otherwise have to buy because you are so productive making things.

@@wellnesspathforme6236 Yeah, i tend to build up a collection of batteries because diesel rams have two and il bring in some old mower/atv batteries from the shed as cores because by brain tells me these "old" truck batteries still usefull for something, but ends up being a usefull doorstop Lol

With patience ya can get a dead cell to respond, but on a time basis ya could earn enough for a new battery...that's the red line ⏳

I run the same batteries in my jeep. I have found that an optima 400 or 1200 charger works really well for me. To maintain them when it's sitting and for reviving severely discharged batteries. I left my jl which has really bad parasitic draw sit for 6 months and drained my batteries below 6v and 3vs. I bought the optima 400 and was able to get them to hold 12.8/12.9 volts when sitting for days. Didn't have any issues from bringing them up like some chargers do with not reading heavily discharged batteries. Cyclyed them up to 14.6 V in spec range and floated them at 13.6 in spec range. I have had those same batteries in my car for 3 plus years now with no issues. Unless I let it sit for weeks on end without maintaing it, but I hopefully won't do that again lol.

Those battrey's have rubber vent caps under the cover - you can add water to them just add a little to just the top of the plates - In reality as long as it's not real hot as it's been this summer in the south - they don't need water for 8 to 10 yrs - I've had many of them -

Thanks for the great video ideas.

Any way is working after 1 year !

@@PRSH8YAPROJECTS hi...how is that battery now? Stil alive and charging property?

When load testing that way, you don't let it stay on for long. 500 amps is an insane amount of current. The correct thing to do is to remove the battery from the charger and let it rest for a few hours and see how well it holds after the surface charge dissipates, then do a brief load test. The only thing he did 'wrong' was failing to let the battery rest after the charge. If you want to do a capacity test, there are testers that are made for that purpose as well, but what you propose doing with a load tester is a terrible idea.

please video that performance

The internal resistance will be different to each battery....better to concentrate on one at a time...

You have to load test it to truly check

I totally appreciate that you notice things like that!!

That's a 200 amp inverter welder Amazon has them for 60 or 70 dollars -

Up to 200 amps at 60 % cycle - that is when it's plugged into a 30 amp circuit - it will burn rods up to 80 amps on a 15 amp 115 volt breaker

I think if a dead battery gives you another 6 months it's worth it....what are you going to do?...throw it away..... so it's a last resort for a totally dead battery

And learn battery preventative maintenance. Teach the younglings..
