How to fill an AGM battery with acid

Step by step video instructions for adding the acid to a new AGM battery. Common to most motorcycles, ATVs, snowmobiles and lawnmowers.

Good video, AGM battery cells can dry out if they are overcharged, so adding additional electrolyte if you can get each cell open is worth a shot. I have a Pulsetech PowerPulse passive battery desulfator on my 2001 BMW battery as preventative maintenance as Pulsetech claims that there patented frequency they use can extend battery life up to three times. I also used my PowerPulse on my other BMW battery that I let sit disconnected for a year, and it was at 11.2 volts, I tried charging it with my friends Exide 6 amp automatic charger for 14 hours and battery voltage was at 13.1 volts, yet it would not start my other car. I put the PowerPulse on it along with a 1 amp Schumacher manual battery charger for 72 hours, and left the desulfator on it for a week and it started my car right up. My point is desulfation can take up to 30 days depending on how sulfated your battery is.

You need proper precautions when doing this. 😅 what are you thinking of doing this without rubber gloves and showing it here for people to follow?

where did you get the bottles of acid to ad to this battery?

CTX9-BS with a bottle Supplied electrolytic. Yes this it is a new way to sell AGM batteries but. AGM factory filled and sealed are un spill-able. Shelf life unfilled 5 years vs the few months filled AGM battery use only the dedicated acid container that comes with the battery as it contains the proper amount of electrolyte.
