He's learned his lesson. Soon he'll be replacing 12V batteries to fix low washer fluid and break pads like the EV and PHEV subreddits :)

In a hundred years, when 12 Volt batteries will be a thing of the past, people will still ask: "Have you tried changing the 12 Volt battery?" Nobody will know what a 12 Volt battery is. Nobody will even know how it looks like. But still people will have a ingrained yearning to change the 12 Volt battery, a long established tradition, inherited from their ancestors...

With electric cars if the 12v battery is going bad all sorts of things like this will happen

@@McFlysGarage And not only with electric cars! I had problems like that long ago with my Peugeot 206 petrol car and I did not panic nor did I go to the garage saying "well my car's computer has gone completely funky please troubleshoot that!". Because I know that car garages tend to swap components until they happen to hit the culprit, then charge the customer for everything they have replaced (including all those things that weren't the cause after all). So I diagnosed it myself using plain reasoning and a multimeter. Then I went to the garage stating that my battery has gone bad, mentioning only some symptoms that go with that (difficulty to start when it is freezing). They replaced it and tadaaaaa, all mysterious funky behavior that they did not even know about was fixed.

@@Rob2 The real question is, if you knew what it was, why not just replace it yourself instead of paying someone to do it?

The entire car will explode

You will break!

The battery level, It used to only work from 87-100% so it's probably gonna be stuck at 100 one day

@@ASleep-er In Soviet Russia, Drago must break you! :)

I think it will develop an exhaust leak due to bad muffler bearings and an electrical short in the catalytic converter processor

But that's not actually what fixed it, the battery was bad

It’s a bit harder if there is no off/on button.

The IT Crowd were right all along!

It's a cliche for a reason!

YUP it's sad people are this dumb

Most battery packs have some sort of cooling, I would think the weego don't have liquid cooling, so yeah lots of dirt via the air cooling fans bringing dirt from outside.

Perhaps use an airline to blow it away

You mean something more expensive than the car?

@ElectronicRedPanda, boom indeed! 😁

That sounded a lot like an advert half way through... Are you sponsored? Sounds like you're sponsored... ¬_¬

@@peterjszerszen I believe that a service disconnect is mandatory *now*. I think it is a recent addition.

@@peterjszerszen me too. My EV has a way to disconnect the high voltage battery.

try something more challenging like a heated rear window muhahahahahahahaha

I thought he'd ElectroBoom by short circuiting the 115V battery terminals with that wrench....! but sadly he knew what was doing.

@@cenchloraadums3143 He was a bit too cautious with the battery IMO. It's still DC, so it can't do him much harm. IDK why he was so scared of it.

@@techno0b467 115V DC is no joke, dude!

@@techno0b467 DC voltage is more dangerous than an equal AC voltage. ie 115 volts DC is more dangerous than 115 AC. AC alternating sine wave .

@@dougabbott8261 Are you sure about that? Maybe you should do some research, so you actually know what you are talking about. The human body has a capacitive resistance as well, so higher frequency means more current, so DC will pass less current trough your body.

Yeah, I really have to wonder why they didn't use one in the first place. Or maybe they did, and the battery it came with was the cheap replacement the previous owner put in.

This had me actually wondering. How exactly did they "test" this deep cycle battery? Most (99.9%) auto parts stores and shops I know simply use a cheap high-current load on the typical car batteries to simulate cranking, and measure the voltage drop, if it's charged and drops way too much then it's considered "bad". Doing the same test to a deep cycle battery sounds fairly stupid and dangerous, since they are not at all built for high-current loads and may actually get damaged. Really hoping he didn't get swindled into buying a new battery but... I don't know.

@@mazzalnx maybe a multimeter and when it showed 6 volts they were like yeah it's dead

@@mazzalnx I've found that any battery taken to an auto-parts store 'needs replacing.'

if it makes you happy it can't be that baaaaaad if it makes you happy then why the hell are you so sad?

But still, WheegoInsane

wheegoinyourdms after seeing your yt pic

👍😁🤣

@@Sir_Leelord No please.

It's better that Yugo

Trabant is German car. East Germany, but nevertheless, East Germany has one of strongest economies of Warsaw pact countries and quality of their production was pretty good as they had high standards of quality.

@@uroskostic8570 Yeah, but when Captain Bob got his, it had problems. Now that he's fixed most of them, I wouldn't be surprised if it runs fine for at least a decade. It seems to me that Wheego is just built to fall apart.

@@notmuch_23 well, trabant like every other car is breaking from time to time. but if you use quality spare parts, you can drive it very long time.

@@notmuch_23 People joke about how "bad" the Trabant is, but in reality most of its construction appears to be dead-simple. It has the typical old car issues and the build quality isn't good by modern standards, but the simplicity means there aren't that many complex parts to break. Also, no features means no features to break.

common it's a communist car so obviously it's going to be built like a bull despite having the same power as a lawn mower if you want to make the Trabant to be entertaining put a motor that breaks down more often into it problem solved I recommend a BMW motor they break easily enough hell the range extender motor in my i3s has had the check engine light on constantly since it's first oil change thanks bmw for breaking the engine seals cause you can't change the oil without doing that one that's why I joke around about him putting that thing into the Trabant because whiles it's about the same power it'll break down much easily and more often then the Trabants engine does

He is on medication, he said that in a previous video. He advocates seeking assistance when battling mental illness. Don't suffer in silence.

Seat lights come on

Yeah, Missouri is a Rust Belt state. Vehicles get ate up here, im suprised his trabant is living long as it is.

@@NerdyHillbilly Duraplast doesn't rust.... nor can you recycle it and the fumes are dangerous if it's burned.

@@NerdyHillbilly I was more concerned for the lack of a sealed (at least underside to elements) compartment for the battery. that stuff on the roof of the panel he removes. Wow.

@@JeffDeWitt salt water still corrodes underpinnings.

@@NerdyHillbilly Trabant was made off duroplast which is fiber-reinforced plastic so body cant rust

I've heard of Teslas, Bolts, Volts, and before that Priuses even having all manner of electronics glitches owing to a weak 12v battery. Not a surprise that a Wheego would be taken down by that too.

Yes but the problem with the Chevy volt as it wasn’t just the battery it was also the small four-cylinder engine that kept blowing up plus the electric Dashboard would sit there and short circuit

I thought they crushed all the Chevy Volts out there. Saw one yesterday. Guess not. They should have.

RC Hobbyist Extreme Volt is a great car. All the owners love them. Super reliable. Good for at least 400k miles as some have done.

foobarturkey Please tell me you’re being sarcastic

Roberto Medina it’s from the video where he “tested” a 2003 Lancer

@@1203fild I loved that video!! I used to own an Auto Trans 2003 Lancer and now I own a 2004 Manual Trans Lancer lmao.

That a funny way of saying Chrysler

@@camillosteuss The 300C (including the new ones and the current Challenger) was actually built on the same platform as the 1996 E-Class. Technically Chrysler is still selling that 25 year old taxi but worse. Though to be fair, some of the flagship Chryslers use a ZF gearbox which makes a big difference.

That's boring, buy a battleship

Yep, that's what I was going to say.

That's helpful advice for when I'm in similar situations. Thanks!

Yep, thought the same.

Plus remove your rings and wristwatch.

You won't get shocked by the car if you keep everything other than the tool your using of the car, including your body. Still wrap your tools as not to cause some nice short circuits!

It's a shame only Tesla suggests that the 12v battery might be bad most other cars just say everything else is bad and just throw a hissy fit.

not the whole car the battery box is well built so one person cared when building it

lol it's extra creepy just like me

Wait, LARRY? The weirdo who talks a hell of a lot about 80s European home computer games? What are you doin here?
