If you are checking fuses inside, place your meter face down on your windshield. So you can see it and not have to get out to look

Everstart batteries are usually die right on with their warranty. I’ve been fortunate to have had mine die a few months before the warranty. I just take it to Walmart for free replacement. I’m on my 3rd battery without paying for one in 8 years.

With bad diodes, an alternator can drain a battery with the engine shut off, too. Even if it charges with the right voltage while it’s running.

I like the red/green felt gaskets. I've been using them since the 70s!

Jonny so glad to see your channel has exploded with subs in the past year or 2!!! You always have such interesting videos brother!!! It has been quite a while since i commented so congratulations on your success!!

I'd just go head and cough up 50 bucks for a battery/alternator/starter tester. That's a great tool.

I fixed my dishwasher last week. Wasn't powering on due to a bad toggle switch on the latch. I replaced one of the switches 12 years ago. Finally the other failed. Easy peasy!

Wow your model hand movements are in point. Another slightly man adopting the younger generations style.

12.2 - 12.3 is not bad and I've had new batteries around that. Its fine.
Also, battery drain from sitting on the floor is a myth, especially for that short of time. How are you going to lose charge through a plastic case?

[brucechavis]

The battery on the concrete is a old myth from the wooden batteries. New batteries in a plastic case will not drain on the ground or on concrete…. I learned that at UTI

I have a Lexus IS250 2012, have recently experienced starting issues, cannot charge battery in the car, on previous cars, I would just take battery out and charge from indoor power socket. I notice you removed the battery from car to charge, my question is I've heard so many dealership mechanics saying I could screw up the electronics in the car by removing it overnight to charge the battery. Is this just scare tactics on their part or is this correct?
Excellent video by the way, well done you.

Exactly what I needed to investigate a parasitic draw on my battery, thank you! But what I REALLY need to know now that I've watched, is where you got the "hand" in your console!!? That thing is AWESOME, and it's (oddly 🙂) not included in your links! I need one! Thanks....

[NewLifeGVN]

That hand in your car freaked me out. 😂

[vhg]

You working with that Harbor Freight Multimeter. When you dont know what you're doing, youll burn it like me.

[Jeezuzisreal]

Sucks. My 05 Yukon parasitic draw wasting my time I've had numerous electrical problems with Chevy vans. Wasted a whole day going to the junkyard to get a used radio because my old one was set at 12:00 every morning I thought that was it. Then I heard that it would be the ignition switch but that wasn't it.

[alfonsogobaleza]

Nice video. Question how do you recharge the battery of 2016 dodge journey without taking it off.

[Olds_Pwr]

Please explain how that plastic case battery will discharge through concrete when charging it.

[dinhhoangtu]

Good video. Informative and helpful. Thanks!

[robertwarrenburg]
