We used this method in the army in the 1960’s. We had two special moulds for pos and neg, so this was an officially accepted field repair. You are not short circuiting the battery. The resistance of the carbon rod causes it to glow red. If it was a dead short the rod wouldn’t heat up (Basic Ohms Law) and you would damage the battery. A vehicle battery can easily handle the current required to heat the rod to red heat for the time required. We didn’t strike an arc but buried the red hot rod into the molten lead while feeding in bar solder. Obviously the skill was in not melting the entire post. I only used this method twice ( once on my own car to save the cost of a new battery) but it was successful both times. You can see from the gauge of wire used in the video that the current isn’t excessive.

Making use of the kzfaq.infoUgkxcJ22tnHH9l1vjdIdEIG27iOG55P7LXI8 reconditioning plan, I just saved 2 auto batteries from being completely junked. The guides were very simple to follow. I wish I would have found this years ago! You may use the guide to recondition any battery type

*This battery reconditioning program exceeded my presumptions. It worked on any drill battery, several AA and AAA batteries, **batery.repair** and any camera battery. The steps are simple and the act itself is exciting to do. No matter what type of battery you`ve got, it is sure to function again!*

A soda pop can, scissors to cut to a strip battery terminal size, some sandpaper or wire brush to prep the lug. A small container to melt lead in. A bit of flux if desired, usually not needed. Cast and let solidify. Remove aluminum sand if you want to, and enjoy your new lug.🤓

Good work, nice one.

Buen video. Haz un vídeo como reparar una batería que no carga. Metodo desarmarla. Revisar placa por placa, y restaurar la que no sirve. Haciendo las fundiciones necesarias con nuevo poste fundido y hacerla funciona le otra vez.

I believe he made a frame/border. Melt the solder and add additional solder without using a soldering iron. Very interesting.

Tu es le meilleur❤❤❤

Bahut badhiya

This method is 100% work.

I would think you could try to drill a hole in that terminal and then you know put some threads in it and then you could put a bolt right down the middle of the terminal I think that might work for a while. Then you can crimp some kind of connector on the wire and then both the wire down right in the middle of the terminal

my large truck battery which is all but new melted a little bit as I didnt have clamp tight and now acid spills from the terminal is this method safe Ie explosive gases and all ??

NICE

Can you just sand it down? Maybe with a soft wheel grinder?

Nah... Ini cara ngecor aki yang benar & pasti kuat 👍👍👍

Good

What size of wire you use sir and battery ....im trying that techniques very much appreciated sir

Thanx its work

Most important precaution , please removed all cell's went plug. free gas circulation . not removed dangerous explosive...... very very important . take care......

Are there chances of the battery exploding ?

What type of metal strip used in the melting process? Thanks for the reply..

Short posts are so annoying when jump starting a car. Now I can fix that.

Battery blast hosakti ha?

The AA battery what is the middle core made from?

Amazing

What do you call that melting thing?

Imagine melting other terminal instead of the required one

Não tem perigo de explodir a bateria por fechar curto ? 🇧🇷

whats the name of that paper?

I was using same method but it is very dangerous i got injured while performing this and the battery exploded

Should be mentioned, lead fumes are toxic ... even touching without gloves is not recommended.

Healthy fumes to keep yo skin fresh

I agree that using your battery as an arc welder is not a good idea but, using Plumbing solder and a smelter with the tin can form and a propane torch.. I think this might actually work out. I would caution anyone about using a torch on a battery terminal because if the battery gets too hot it can explode as well as it gives off gases that are highly flammable. So this is my disclaimer, attempt this at your own risk. You also have to look at the type of battery, the one in the video is not sealed, LSA or AGM

congratulations, u just saved its terminal but reduced the battery life (short circuit). Dont take thing from youtube seriously. Do some research.

If it works.. it works 😅

Mere bhai battery ka cap khol liya kro warna battery blast ho jayegi

Ese metodo daña las baterias mejor es derretir el plomo y verterlo en el molde gracias

Bro which sheet you take to cover the terminal,

Sir battery ki plet hard ho jane k bad usko kase thik kar skte h please btay sir🙏

Craigslist ad: like new car battery for sale lightly used

Esto es peligroso puede estallar la batería

Kira2 klo begitu kuat sampe berapa lama yaa bang

you are doing wrong way.at first you have to open battery cap

Why dont you buy BATTERY SHIMS instead of going through this hassle

A video you can smell

Hey my active terminal is not giving that spark,what is that?

just welting lead

This work only for professional.

Bahi battri LA rawmatrial mil ta he

excuse me? can this damage the battery?

Well that's new

So you like torture you car battery ?!? Well, "good job"......!!!

Buying a new one is better....or replacing the exsisting terminals that damaged those post us a better and safer approach.

I would just buy a new battery !

Don't try this method the battery can be explode also the battery damage

Son of a gun.

Hydrogen gas. Stupid thing to do.

No music

Aap kam acha h par ye riski h kyu ki battery 🔋 k sell gar ho jatye h

short circuiting battery !!

don't do this

Terminal loki edi karaga pettindi ,,,arthu kaadu

Theres alot safer ways of doing this. Both for the battery and yourself

I also tried after watching this video battery exploded I also got minor injuries 😭

Jajajaja

🔕⛑️🚫 ⚡

Ahh...you get the wrong guy trying to do this on a hot day and things are gonna go real bad for him * my 2 cents, buy the cheapest new battery with the longest warranty you can afford

I just watch this entire video and at no time did I ever see a battery terminal being fixed the only thing I saw was a battery post post being fixed

Or call it "How we do shit in India"

You only repaired the top of the post? Nothing connects to the top of the post. The sides of the post are still damaged? This is where the connection happens. I don't get it. Sorry, but in my opinion, you did not fix this post.

Seriously I suggest you not short that battery out like that the whole battery could blow up it'd be better to use a torch and meltdown some lead try to put it on there you could just ruin the whole battery by shorting it out like that you can't short a load like that it's too dangerous

Besides, just like every other clickbait, the gif you show at the title of the video is not what the video shows. The gif also shows the sides of the post being solid and smooth. The battery in the video shows none of this. The post shows just as much damage as you started with on the sides? Not impressed at all. Sorry, but someone had to point that out.

dont try this.. it is very dangerous. and no pre-caution..

This is not perfect work

Are you nuts?

Not recomended

Easier and better just buy new battery

cheaper just buy new battery this is useless
