You are great! Very entertaining as well as teaching a thing or two! Great tip on purified water! PS, Love the chicken walking through the shot!

Thank you that was very informative. I joined ez battery recycling and I'm learning how to recondition used batteries to save lots of money!

Enjoyed the video,especially the devotional. Thanks!

Awesome!! I remember doing this with my papaw and just like you he would turn it into a life lesson.

Lead acid batteries are properly and correctly filled when the electrolyte (the water/ acid mix) is approximately 1/8th of an inch above the tops of the plates, any higher causes voltage bleed out and liquid expansion out of the fill holes as in this case when it expands due to normal plate heating and over time only being (over)refilled with distilled water alone meaning its acid percentage drops, many a battery has been rendered useless by over filling thus causing boil off of the electrolyte most battery failures and diminishing charge retention are a result of the plate faces phosphating up over time lowering their abilities to tranfer ions to each other through the electrolite, and sluffed off lead oxide dropping off the plates and congealing on the floor of the battery where they sludge up and basically it continually shorts itself out meaning even a high amperage charge wont budge it. When a battery heats up under charging load it evaporates off the water....it loses barely any sulphuric acid - that mostly stays put...the bit that does however get out is what causes all that green and white shmoo on the battery connections ...that bubbling is actually highly explosive hydrogen gas which is being liberated from the H part of H2O(water) during the charging phase not as a result of epsom salts being added and was the reason you were coughing with stinging eyes, for the good of your continued health NEVER be tempted to use any kind of naked flame anywhere around where you can smell that gas ! but if the cells do over heat significantly due to massively high charge currents the plates can warp badly and buckle against each other causing a dead short the length of the battery and then it really IS game over for that particular battery the scam today is non servicable no fill batteries.........that way you cant service them and HAVE to junk them and buy another which pleases the manufacturers no end . by the way the charging process DOESNT "create" sulphuric acid THAT acid is pre installed diluted into distilled water at the correct percentage on first fill to act as its catilyser...hence why it is called ...a lead/ ACID battery. when fully charged it SHOULD read 13.5/13.6 volts, but the only way to really know if it is any good is with a deep draw discharge amperage test. its the amperage that does all the hard work not the voltage.....which is why they display the output in amps on the case. in future try to obtain a correct ratio acid/water mix first then lay the battery on its side and try to flush out all the shmoo on the case floor through all openings with a hose pipe for quite some time before drying and refilling it (one eigth above the plates remember) then charging it on a lower output.....try it and see.

Try adding the water to merely bring the cells to an equal level. Then dissolve the salt into your water bottle. THEN put it in your battery. I have never done this, but I heard that you can do it with a small amount of baking soda. Although baking soda is also used to neutralize battery acid. So I assume you would use only enough to trigger a chemical reaction.

This was cool. Never tried the epsom salts trick so I might just have to do that next time. Here in the Texas heat I've had to top off some batteries with acid from the auto parts store in years past but that stuff is nasty. I've also tried the battery repair setting on the charger but thats a hit or miss depending on the type of battery. Anyways, God bless you brother.

Love the Harbour Freight VOM

i have seen folks do this in the past. and it takes a charge shows 12 volts. but when a load is put on it ,it dies so i will check to see if you are lucky and have a good battery

Many years ago learned ago I found out how explosive car batteries can be, I had a freshly charged battery at my feet I was cutting steel with an abrasive cutter I had had a face shield on, I heard a loud pop finished cutting I found the top of the battery blown off, I had no injuries I lucked out.

Remember to keep your comments respectful or they will be removed!!!

I would have dissolved the Epsom salt into the water in the water bottle first, then added the solution to the battery with a small funnel. I'm not a chemist, but believe that by adding the Epsom salt, you're basically adding more sulfate ions to the liquid in the battery from the Epsom Salt (the SO4 in MgSO4). The original Sulfuric Acid in the battery also has the sulfate ions (the SO4 in H2SO4). I have a few dead batteries in my shop that I will try this on. Thanks for the video!

Thank you for the speech, and Amen

acid is absorbed into the plates when discharged, so acid never leaves the battery, adding more acid gives an over concentration

i noticed no action in the cell at the positive terminal end, in my experience with batteries (20 yrs. ) that cell is bad check with a hydrometer, after the battery cools down

Did it work? How long do u charge with the Epsom salt? Then what do u fill it back up with to use when you're done? Good video thanks... God Bless

What about the results ? What was the final voltage after doing the chemical additive and charging ? Were you able to place it back in the mower and show that it cranks like a charged battery?

I have just subscribed to you

Can we use funnels for the distilled water and the Epsom salt?

Amen look around at the world its crazy out here

i tried before in 5 batters and din't work

My deep cycle boat battery is completely dead ,will this work ?

Have you tried changing the polarity of a battery? I haven't done it but have seen others do it to give new life to the battery.

Very well said friend. I really thank you for your reading on going back to church to get recharged in our mind and spirit. We all need to get closer to God. ✝️

If battery acid was purchased from an Auto store, would that be better to use then charge the battery??

Apparently there are some folks who can’t read!!! I said keep your comments respectful or they will be removed!!! Listen to the video folks, I didn’t say that distilled & purified water were the same, I said that the big jug & what was in the bottle were the same, because I poured distilled into the small bottle because it was easier to pour from!! Some comments have been removed like I said they would be!!

Omg what a plank dont forget your vinigar with your epsom salts 😂

Doin it incorrectly ! First drain battery upside down overbite put a box of baking soda in a gallon of di h2o soak in over nite shake it into a suspended solution fill up my batt let sit over night then drain bakin soda water out / take a pot heat up a gallon of di water 270 then dump in a package of Rodin salt stir into solution must desolve! Then let sit cool off then transfer liquid back into jug water add water to batt let sit over night too off in morning charge at 20 amps over night 13.5 surface charge! Dissipates in 1/2hr-12.66%then cover instal rite up vehicular and drive one hr that is a refurbished battery a Thomas Edison crude method if storage! Takes three days to do it correctly no telling how kind it will last don’t drain all the way down use it and keep a charge on it@2%

Although i disagree wiith you oneaning i means go to church i do agree with the message. We have to remember in churches we are hearing the interpretation of the bible from the pastor. We need more importantly to interpret it ourselves and compare to others.

The problem is that this trick doesn't always work? often on worn batteries this don't work! People think it works because they don't have a good battery tedters and don't know the condition of the battery. The car battery is also not designed to run on this white

Are you sure sulphuric acid is correct?

Looks like a dead cell on the far right?

Epsom Salt? How quaint! Everybody has used this before and results are always less than expected. I thought you were coming with something new.......

no followup video

Brother you spent too much time pouring salt you can use funnel would more effective than the spoon with all do respect

i thought is was suppose to be distilled water instead of regular water because of the minerals. I'm looking forward to trying this.

you just dump a bunch of salt in there?

Why not use a funnel to svoid spillage.

Grand pa taught me this epsom salt trick. I wish i could find a way to do this with sealed batteries, and agm. Thanks most of all for the bible verses. God bless sir.

I study to show thyself approved. I went behind the Vail, and baptized myself. I am in the many membered body of Christ. I don't go to church the Bible spelled them out. He had 7 churches, 5 he snuffed out because they are nothing other than the sinaguages of Satan. He had 2 he liked and those were Smerna and Philidelphia they entertained and became 1. Hope you don't think you flying away. Put the gospel armor on and in place. Serve the purpose we are here for. 1st taken is by deception from Satan claiming to be God. Yes we are living in the last days of the 6 year creation. Warning it's happening as you read this Truth.
