A) Salt destroys the lead acid battery. B) Only a few drops of electrolyte will never restore battery capacity. We talk about electrolyte. Not about medicine drops for curing caugh. C) Cutting the caps means destroying the mechanism of water reformation and increasing the possibility of electrolyte spilling around. D) This battery can only be used in vertical position only after that treatment. E) Charging for one hour and testing the battery for some seconds proves nothing about its health. You should measure its internal resistance before and after that treatment in order to reach a safe conclusion...

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

I'm loving the Fisher-Price inspired multimeter.

I did the following experiment during my studies. A discharged (10.8V) 12V / 40Ah lead acid battery was short-circuited with a 10 ohm 100 watt resistor. The discharge current was measured every hour and recorded. The experiment ended after one month, but the set-up was left unchanged. After another 18 months, I checked the structure again. No more current flowed through the lines and the measured voltage was 0 volts. After removing the connections, I could see an increase in voltage on the voltmeter. After approx. 1 hour this reached 1.3 V and only rose slightly. Long story short, it is not possible to measure a voltage of 0V with a lead battery if not either a short circuit or the lack of any electrolyte. My humble opinion is - what is shown - does not correspond to reality.

How to watch this video (and save 6 minutes of your life while still obtaining the same amount of information): 1. Mute the volume of the video completely and put on your own favorite song in the background, or skip any background music all together. (There is no information being delivered verbally in this video.) 2. Fast forward to 2:00. (The first two minutes are just spent showing time after time that the battery is dead and measuring 0 V on the multimeter.) 3. Watch the rest of the video in x2 speed. Congratulations! 6 minutes saved.

The process below is what I Personally Use to recondition any "regular" lead acid batteries. It does work for batteries that have too much sulfite build up on the lead plates, to the point that it causes the resistance to rise until the battery is basically useless. OR in some cases, if you have battery that won't hold a charge, "slowly drains" when it is just sitting and nothing connected, *IF* its due to a so called "soft short" internally. Which basically means that there is enough sulfite/lead debris that has sunk to the bottom of the battery, and it has filled the catch tray until it is now touching more than one plate, this causes and internal short, and will drain the battery. *DISCLAIMER: This is For INFORMATIONAL and EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. DO NOT PERFORM ANY OF THIS YOURSELF. IF* you perform any of this, then you are accepting *FULL RESPONSIBILITY,* and hold me completely harmless in all ways, forms, and measures. #1 - empty the battery of its original 'acid' into a bucket or other plastic container. Add baking soda to neutralize the sulfuric acid. #2 - clean the entire top of the battery of any dirt or build up. Don't get the dirt into the open cells. Dirt on the top of a battery can actually become conductive and WILL drain a battery. This is why the top of any lead acid battery should be cleaned periodically. #3 - place battery into some type of container that won't leak, like a plastic tote or something. This will catch any water that you spill when filling, or solution that may bubble over out of the battery. #4 - Heat 1 gallon of water (this can be tap water, but distilled is always better, however this will not be kept in the battery) don't heat it so hot that it is boiling, just 100f to 130f (38c to 55c) or so. #5 - Add approx 10oz of baking soda to the 1 gallon of hot water. Mix thoroughly until the baking soda is Completely Dissolved. Be careful if mixing in a closed container or bottle, as baking soda being mixed in hot water can build up some pressure. #6 - Fill the battery, you may have to fill each cell slowly as sometimes it may react somewhat violently, especially the first fill. *Wear eye protection.* #7 - When the reaction stops (almost no bubbling), empty and repeat this baking soda solution "wash" cycle at least 3 times, maybe more. The cleaner the water is when you empty the battery, the better. #8 - Empty the battery of the final baking soda "wash" solution. #9 - Fill the battery with **Distilled water**, put the caps back on and shake the battery good, remove caps, empty. Repeat this "rinse" cycle several times, to get any baking soda water residue washed out, along with any other debris that can be flushed out of the battery. When you empty the last time, the water should be fairly/mostly clear. #10 - Lastly, heat 1 gallon of DISTILLED water, again to around 100f to 130f or so. #11 - Mix in approx 12 oz of **EPSOM SALT** to one gallon of hot water, shake it up. Make sure the epsom salt is completely dissolved, which it should dissolve fairly easily in water at these temps. Be Careful if mixing in a closed container or bottle, as it may build some pressure, but usually not as much as the baking soda does. #12- Place battery back into the tote or other plastic container. Place something, small piece of wood etc, under the "front" or "back" side of the battery so that it leans slightly in one direction. This will allow any solution that bubbles out to run off the side of the battery instead of "flooding" the top of the battery, as that would allow some of the charge being put into it to bypass the cells. #13 - Fill the battery with the hot Epsom Salt Solution, and top off each cell. #14 - Once filled, place the battery on charge. A "smart charger" will **NOT** work for this. You must have a plain old "dumb" charger that will "trickle" charge at low amps, usually 1 or 2 amps. #15 - Put the battery on "trickle" low amp _(1 to 2 amps)_ charge. Charge for 24 hours. #16 - After 24 hours, Temporarily disconnect charger. Check battery voltage with and without load. _(a Schumacher BT-100 battery load tester is currently $35 on amazon, always good to have for a number of reasons, but there are other methods of load testing a battery too, search KZfaq)_ Write down the voltages. Top off any cells *IF* low with more Epsom Salt solution. Put the battery back on charge for another 24 hours. After 24 hours, recheck voltages, top off any low cells with Epsom Salt Solution, put back on charge. Repeat this final step until the battery is *EITHER* putting out its full rated CCA _(cold cranking amps)_ capacity. *OR* until the battery "tops out" and the voltages do not rise anymore over the course of several days. This process may take a week or possibly longer before the battery will "level off". If the voltage Never Rises at all, or levels off at low voltages/low CCA... then your battery has a different problem, like a broken/disconnected plate or etc. So Yes, this is not a "quick fix", and its takes some work. However, at the end of it, you usually will have a good working battery, for only a small $ investment. And No, this does Not work with every battery, as there can be many different problems for why a battery goes "bad". But many batteries, especially if they aren't maintained or are allowed to sit for long periods of time without being charged _(like how lawnmower batteries usually are neglected all winter)._ As that is one of the reasons why the sulfite will build up on the plates to begin with. *_*Side Note:_*_ Don't let a battery that is "run down" to be out in freezing weather, as if it is Very Low on charge, that means the "battery acid" is mostly water at that point, and the battery can freeze and bust the case._ However, even if it doesn't work on every battery, you can still save quite a few batteries using this process, and at the least extend a batteries life, sometimes as much as 4 years, which saves quite a few $$. Even if it only works for a few months to a year, it can get you by for a while, and can definitely get you out a pickle if no other means is available. And YES, if the battery that you reconditioned starts to have problems again in the future, you can repeat this process and it should repair the battery again, so long as the problem is *still one of the two issues* that I described at the beginning of this post. Hope this is a help to someone. ~Shalom

Fantastic👍👍👍 Thank'u for sharing👍

Oh,Thank you very much.I very like...

what if you clean it with epsom salt and water solution then add fresh battery acid

Me gustan mucho tus videos, los que me llegan de tus notificaciones no me los pierdo.

Thank for this overview .Very helpful

I love your famous youtube Musik hahaha ! The Spirit behind your Musik is soooo oo o full of love 2 New Science + Likes ....hahaha ! Bravo !

A 10 min video that could have just said, “add water.” The salt (if table salt) is unnecessary and will eventually cause problems. Slicing the vent caps will also just accelerate dry out.

Thank you. advance: It is better if you talk instead of these music. 👍🏽👍🏽

which method did you use for charging voltage ampere or trickle

Now the question for me is how long will it last before you have to exchange it for a new one. I would guess that all depends. Thanks for sharing that with us. I don't have a motorcycle anymore, but that's good to know.

отличное видео ))

You have excellent content. There area lot of dead spaces in vid were nothing is going on. for example did you really need to show us how to remove every cap on the battery? It makes the video hard to watch. other than that great job!

helpful idea and tech knowledge

Thanks for the video 👍

Here's an idea, just say pour salt water in it and charge for an hour.

If I change water and sand (1) by acid HCL (2). Time use longer between (1) and (2)?

should i use fine or caorse epsom salt?

Thank you bro 😊

once the inner plates warp, and bend (or worse, touch) - the battery self-shorts and is, without internal mechanical re-tooling - VERY much dead. Pouring salts and "other gimmicks" don't repair neglect or poor servicing or mechanical/ design failure. End of story.

That sound is so sick, i keep on hearing that in most YT videos

Nice info, thanks for sharing :)

it's very grateful maintenance to improve the life of old battery

Why would you cut the caps? I used battery water and charged it with the caps off then dried up any excess water I then replaced the caps and sealed the lid, if you cut the caps water will spill over every time you charge it, My battery works perfectly now.

Great work Sir!

Years ago, batteries had four or six caps on the top so that you could unscrew them and open the battery to see the water level in the battery. Now it's supposed to be a the revelation of a big secret. It isn't. Battery manufacturers have hidden the filler points making you believe that you have buy a new battery when you can recondition the one you have. There was a broken ring inside the battery access ports that showed to what level the water had to be set. BTW, use ONLY distilled water. Clean distilled water, in concert with the sulphuric acid (H2SO4), helps the charging process be more efficient. NEVER use pure H2SO4 Also, use acid resistant gloves and goggles. Better yet, wear a full faceguard. Battery acid can burn the hide off of you in a heartbeat and you really don't want this in your eyes. Can a battery backfire on you? Short answer? YES! Wear the goggles/faceguard !! Lastly, mixing of water and acid is a highly exothermic process. When water is added to acid, due to small amount of water, evolved heat will change it to vapour and acid will spill out and may cause injury. So it is advised to mix acid to water and not water to acid. Know what you are doing before you attempt this process. Be safe!

Begins at 1:41. Wondering if Epson salt would have worked better than regular table salt. Ends 10:23

What's about . Tubular tower battery 165 AH .

I have the same problem with my scooter battery, and I tried this method, it worked, but it was quite scary, when I was adding the salt water, I can smell some kind of chemical, and being safe, I charge the battery outside, during charging, I can see little bit of water slowly bubbling at the cap, so make sure you do slow charging, no more than 2 amp. Be safe

Can I get better result if I add some seasonings! :)😀

I've heard about this before. I never did find out how long it would last though.

Muy buen experimento para recuperar las baterias de 12V / 5hamp

This video could fit in 30 sec!!!

très magnifiques vraiment merci

So the short-short-short-short version is... short out the battery, open it up, fill each cell with a saltwater mixture and mix it thoroughly. Top it off again. Replace caps. Charge. Use. (assuming this actually works)

*_La vidéo est géniale. bonjour bonne journée J'espère que vous aimez ma chaîne_* 👍👍👍👍

ναι 12 volt αλλά πόσες cc a

Sir don't feel bad about the comments I'm telling you the video's is just amazing

Very useful bro good idea thanks

I think you can use sulfuric acid to fix your dead dry battery.

1:20 Where to buy those led.....

Howe about an real lod, starting an engine?

I've tried this a few times. Magnesium sulfate will work on a lawnmower battery or ATV. It will store battery voltage, but the amps will be really low and not pass a load test. Use sulfuric acid for car batteries and you'll retain the amps, and have enough cold-cranking amps. The sulfuruic acid will cost around $40-$60.

This plot better thicken quickly.

A man was arrested last night for drinking battery acid, he was later charged

No estoy seguro de las mediciones, por más descargada que esté nunca tiene 0 volts y después de una hora de carga debería marcar más de 13 volts

Thank you sir

Шприцом с иглой удобнее заливать растворы в АкБ.

Sir why did u cut the cap what does it for?

*Chia sẻ hay quá👏👏💯😉*

I m hating informative vids with this silly background music 😐 it infected the world

How many times do you have to show that it is Dead

Due to the chemical process it is not possible to restore any battery.the effort put in is not lasting long.save yourself the trouble and get a New one.shop arround.

Great video. Keep up your good work. Please make a video showing the capacity test of this battery rated 12V 5Ah !

Perfeito funcionou legal 🤜🤜🤜🤝🤝👍

I'm not sure if the salt will damage or restore the battery. If you had charged the battery first and check whether it accumulated charges and then charge it if it doesn't, that would have been a better way to validate the potency of using the salt. It is called comparative analysis in research.

Dead battery can be charge when adding salt and disttiled water but the charge load will not last long coz of grounded circuit of plates have already damage and when over charge it will explode.

So what method of charging was used and what supply?

당신은 천재야 👍👍👍👍👍

Mustn't the battery have distilled water added so can work?

The volume of the music is much too loud, turn down the volume of the music of all your videos to a lower level.

Is there any method to test and restore inverter battery?

沒电加盐水盍割开就能用了.

This guy cleans the top of the battery like a 1000 times I woke up next day and the video still was going on 😴😴😴

You might be able to get a small amount of extended life out of it but the potential damage that can be done is not worth the time or hassle

Awesome, simple but best method to charge battery will try it today

I really hate the music why do you need to play music just explain wat you doin

Bhai where you get from this salt your salt is very magical 😂😂😂😂😂

That’s terrific thanks

這個電池是把電壓救回來了，但是蓄電能力有多少安時，卻沒有測試，或許應該拿個啟動馬達來測試一下。看看是否能啟動機車正常運轉。

good but water should distilled ,and how much ampere will loose compairing new one? it should keeps 5 A x hour . well try to put a load with 1 A 12v as bulb and look how many time resist to keeps 12 v then that kind of batteries once is charged should signing on multimeter around 13,4 volt 12v means is almost defected i guess the battery without any acid will lose alot of capacity neither ?

We Adding salt do only Harm to a battery. Device by putting 15 v dc or more on the poles. Restrict the current to 10%of the capacity. Battery heats up, but that helps!

Noong nilagyan mo ng tubig na may asin ang battery maylaman pabayon o totaly tuyo na sa loob ang batery ... Salmat bossing

Battery clean up....very good...thank you...

How do we know that the battery could not hold any charge (before he added salt)? He provided no evidence verbally or otherwise.

एक तो लोगों की इतनी गलत आदत बन चुकी है कि वीडियो बनाते टाइम पर साउंड चलाते हैं गाना चलाते हैं मुझे यह समझ में नहीं आता कि यह कुछ बताने चले हैं कि कोई फिल्म बनाने चले

Wow good job my friend

Can we repair battery if its one of cell is dead?

I do same but not possible 🙆 my battery 🔋 is gone i lost battery

its a distilled water and salt its working i try it in my battery in my bike

Please no more noise u idea good works

Sir battery 🔋 charging ne hou

That is a joke...WATER AND SALT......The worst bull I ever seen on youtube.

New battery it's to solve the problem! 😉🚔

수저에 담은것이 무엇인지 알고싶어요 ???

Hi !!! Very good idea Even the car battery they work it the same way?

पहले सिर्फ सेल्फ नही उठाती थी अब बो कोई काम नही करती

Я просто дистиллированную воду заливал .

why do we need to slash the caps after filling the Water solution?

Maraming slamat mga guys sa pag bigay ng mga good ideas paano irepar ang dead battery.

Sir why did you cut battery cap?

useful video 💗

This video is really great. Very Very nice video

how if batery is empty of electrode water ,hw many drop of water and salt of electrode water of batery

This video should be renamed and classified as a sleep aid.
