The method is quite sound. I'm in my 60's. When I first started driving, a full service Gas Station would not only fill your tank, but also wash your windshield, air your tires, check Oil, Brake Fluid, Trans Fluid and best of all, your battery water level. Batteries lasted the life of the car. Better stations would give the battery a soda bath before checking. (Soda bath is 2 tablespoons of Baking Soda dissolved in 1 gal of water. This is poured over the entire top and down the sides of the battery. It neutralizes the acid that develops as the battery is used. The top of the battery is wiped dry, to ensure none of the soda bath enters the battery when the fill caps are removed.)

Easiest way I think is to get a heavy duty electrical outlet timer. Set for 15 minutes on one hour off. Check every hour or so on the batteries until every cell is boiling.

*UPDATE* My diesel truck has two 12 volt batteries. I tried the 200 amp setting on the first one. It boiled the battery for seconds, then cycled off for a couple minutes. I tried multiple times with same results. I gave up and switched to the 12 volt HI setting and it boiled the battery vigorously. So I used the SPC method over a couple days. Resting the battery for several hours each time. Probably 10 cycles over all and it worked. Battery restored to like new. With the remaining battery, I started off with the 12 HI setting since I knew the 200 amp setting wasn't working, and it wouldn't boil the battery. I tried multiple times same result. So I switched to 200 amp setting and it boiled for a few seconds and cycled. I switched it back to 12 volt HI and low and behold it now boiled vigorously. I continued on with the same process as described above for many cycles and long rest periods. This battery is now testing like new. These are 4 year old batteries in Arizona desert heat. Thanks SPC for showing us the technique.

The bubbling is the gassing phase. This is when the battery is producing hydrogen gas and is at least 80% charged. It's in its most fragile state at this point and there is a risk of losing active material on the plates, but since you're desulfating a battery that most people would scrap, your 15 min cycles at 200 amps shouldn't cause much if any. You'll begin to see cloudy and dark electrolyte when the active material begins to shed. Good video and good tips 👍

I don't have a 200 amp charger to try this out. They start at $175 which is more than I pay for batteries with 7 year warranty from a farm implement store. Those seven year batteries last 8-9 years. When they are about six years old and winter is coming on, I buy a new one for my Jeep and put that six year old in one of my several John Deere machines. I trade in the oldest one for the new battery. Starting about 25 years ago I bought the seven year batteries and some have lasted 10 years. None have died before the 9 year mark. That is so nice, I remember years ago the best battery was a five year warranty and they barely made it, sometimes died at 4 and a half. Now, the batteries are way better. I hate to spend that much on a charger when I don't need the 200 amp style. My 20 amp charger does a fine job if I happen to leave lights on or when the JD quit charging its battery. I bought a GOOLOO device in case someone needs a jump. That way I'm not risking my Jeep charging system. Maybe I'll give this a try, I have two batteries in the John Deeres that are approaching the nine year marks. I'll make this video a favorite and if I spring for the 200 amp job, I'll try to remember to come back and share if it worked for me. One important thing you didn't mention was, hold long will the battery be functional after you get it the treatment?

OK. Have looked at several ways to fix a battery and this one definitely works! I can get free batteries from our local junkyard where I live in Alaska. I am trying to get enough deep cell batteries to use in case our power goes out since it is locally generated. So far I have done 8 that tested bad under load. All I did was what is said in the video. Don't recommend filling up the water completely until your done because it does book out. Check your batteries every time after you do this because some don't require five times. With the exception of one all have been rejuvenated. The one that did not I am still working on. I am on around the 10th cycle. Only doing it because it seemed to gain a little every time I checked it. It slowly charged to a little at a time to 12 volts. The first several times I checked it it would not hold a load. I just checked it and it is at 12 volts and still reads weak but it actually holds that reading. I am so confident it will eventually read good. I have also done 4 car batteries that checked bad and are now good and hold a load. Thank you for this. The best and easiest video on battery repqair.

Great video. When I was a young kid, I had a scrap hauling business. An old farmer neighbor showed me how to do this with older batteries that I would take out of old cars that I would scrap. I had a pallet full and one day he asked me what I was doing with them. I told him that I was making a full pallet to take to the scrap yard to recycle and get money for each pound. He said to forget about that, because he could show me how to make them work again and sell them as working batteries and make more money. He said as long as the casing wasn't cracked or the posts weren't broken, it would work. He did tell me to only use distilled water, like you mentioned. However, I didn't hear you say anything about the fumes and making sure that all of the caps were removed and water was inside the cells Before heating them up. Also, the fumes and being in a well ventilated area is a major safety factor.

In the video he did say to make sure to fill it up with DISTILLED WATER (no minerals or heavy metals in distilled water). and he also said to REMOVE ALL OF THE CAPS. just make sure you let it rest for an hour between like he said as well and don’t get any of the battery acid on you or your clothes or anything. It will burn a hole in your clothes and your flesh. Baking soda and water neutralizes the battery acid so keep both nearby just in case it bubbles over. And protect your eyes and even your whole face by wear protective glasses or a clear face shield in case it splashes. Wear rubber gloves as well and old clothes that you won’t care gets ruined if it does splash onto your clothes. Make sure it doesnt splash on your skin. And don’t put your body or your face directly over the holes in the battery or keep it more than 15 minutes. Batteries can and do explode so use caution and don’t let children get near the battery either. Children are curious and may not be aware of the danger of even touching a battery with bare hands if any acid is on it. I was a mechanic on jet fuel trucks in the Air Force for 9 years but we weren’t allowed to revive old batteries like this. Thanks for the info and keep up the great work!

There was some years I wouldn’t start it at all in winter, and it would always start in the spring like new. Never had a problem with the battery, still starts like new. I contribute it to the insulated battery cover that encased the whole battery. The battery is 20 years old and still starts like new, never ever had to put a charger on it.

Thanks for the video.. Very informative. I recently have been looking at prolonging battery life. I started with protecting the battery from engine heat and been trickle charging the batteries weekly. I had come across people topping up maintenance free batteries and you have taken it a step further. I would consider doing something similar but the maintenance free batteries we get dont have any stickers or plastic cover you can remove to access the individual cells. You would effectively have to dig out the plastic at the top and drill holes to access the cells. At that point i stopped looking as it was a lot of work just to add water to get maybe another 6 months. Now seeing the comments about how much longer people get, i will have to rethink and see if i can find a maintenance free battery that has access to the cells and do the recharge that you have shown.

At least some batteries "hide" the cap covers rather smartly. (Have batteries in my UPS Power Strips that have a Plastic Plate glued down inside a recessed lip making access difficult but not impossible. Plus usually by the time the UPS throws a "replace battery" light it is "cooked"/bone dry and too late to recover... Or maybe not.) Having seen A LOT of scrapped "core exchange" Maintenance Free Batteries at various stores... I've always been curious if many of them could have a second life had its owner just tried to clean the terminals/face... much less checked the water level (most "maintenance-free" seemed to have "removable" caps if someone just had a screwdriver)

Wow thanks for this upload. I am always getting ads on how to revive your car battery and, never buy another one again. The thing is they want you to pay for their secret. You shared for free and that earned a subscription!

Does anyone know what the applied voltage is from the Associated batter charger? I know its a max of 200 amps - but I wonder what the voltage is? Sincere thanks

I’ll be trying this out in the near future with high hopes. I plan to build a battery bank to power my house out of scrapyard junker car batteries. With this method I hope to revive them, then with a windmill or two that I’ve built, I’ll be able to charge the bank and then offset a ton of electricity bill expenses👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

You need deep cycle batteries for powering things. Regular car batteries are good for a few starts when they have a full charge, but loose amperage quickly as they drain.

I know this is a four year old video but if anyone can answer this question it would be great. I have a timer plug, not a digital timer but a segmental timer. Each segment is 15 minutes. In theory I could hook up the battery charger to the timer and program the timer with 15 minute bursts followed by one hour rest and just leave it be for 5h 15mins. Is there any reason i cannot do this. Are there any checks you need to make between charging bursts or can i just leave it to do its own thing.

Dude! Okay, I feel like an idiot for not delving into this earlier in my my life as I'm old enough (58) to remember "topping off" batteries with distilled water. However, I didn't know about the reconditioning aspect so better late than never, and I'm going to go give it a go on my John Deere tractor/mower battery that crapped out. I have discovered as a newbie in Arizona that the heat kills pretty much everything which is logical when you think about it, but hey, live and learn. I'll report back in a couple days to probably say the same thing everyone else is saying in response to your video. Thank you for putting your knowledge out there and also adding improvements as you go. I'm excited to try this out and by the way, I'm a woman and like to challenge myself with these types of things and learn how to help myself and not expect others to do it for me or pay greedy manufacturers to sell me something I don't need. God bless you!

So I don't need to replace the battery acid in the battery if it's low just use still water to top it off. I was told that it won't charge without battery acid or if it's low?

Where were you 6 years ago, I was doing all this then & before, but your way is so much easier and cheaper. Dont laugh but when no charge, I used my brothers battery to start my car, then put the leads back on mine (as you know it keeps going), topped up with distilled water, then drove for 60mins, U turn & back home. That worked pretty good no more than once a year. To think I could have had a beer, play with kids/dog (yes office worker). Good job Sweet!!
