Simple Way to Boost a 24V System

This was a John Deere 135G with a drained battery. Now, you might be wondering how we’re going to jump a 24v battery with 12v without blowing it up. Watch and learn as the heavy-duty mechanic shows us how to jump-turn an excavator using the service truck.

This one is for @Justypower89 who had a question about how to jump start 24v excavator when you’ve only got 12v. Honestly, if the battery is drained we recommend changing it because it’ll just die on you again. But for educational purposes, we’re showing you how to make a mini excavator start when the battery is dead. Enjoy!

Another solid one, I'm doing more work on 24 V and videos like this are greatly appreciated. Concise and well explained, keep it up boys!
Edit: spelled a word wrong

[toddk]

He's exactly right, in my deuce (24v), if my batteries die, I can jump it with my pick up that's 12v, as he said, one battery at a time. If anything, I find having quality jumper cables and clean battery terminals make for more efficient jump.

[Terry_Baker]

Another solid one guys . Great seeing Cam as usual ..

[Justypower]

Omg!!! Thank you so much 😊 that help me to be a better mechanic. (This Chanel gave me the courage to work as a farm machinery mechanic again after I left the job for 10 years).
You are the best ✌🏻
Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭

People watching this type of video have really fun time and they enjoy from your "funny" jokes even more!

[MvPsweden]

So the bridgewire that connect the two 12Volts batterys can stay on while doing this?

[dirtfireservices]

Your 100% right the people in the comments aren't fixing it 🤣

[theirishworker]

Good craic as usual, but actually guys can learn from this. Craic is the jokes and banter, for all you Saxton type.😂

[NSoutdoorsman]

i like your opinion on battery boosting. seems safe to me. the rules they teach you in school are pretty excessive

[Graveltrucking]

That's an awfully big 35G l think somebody missed a number in the description lol. My old man had a battery explode on him the top blew off and went flying across the yard I don't remember what group size it was maybe a 65. Batteries can turn into bombs waiting to go off you have to be careful dealing with lead acid batteries.

[danbutler]

Hey Cam are you able to do a video on your load pro leads you were using? Cheers

[nealk]

U use a loadpro cam? That’s an awesome tool

[ptso]

Here in AZ we say new batteries and brakes every 2 years. The heat just wears em out. So out have habit, I put a battery load tester on the 50 hour checks. Don't even boil the bat on bench, if the Volts and cranking amps are low. Seen and heard batteries blow up on the dumby charger. Has Cam used that Mini Ductor yet? I thought about buying one it's just pricey.

[mikemuzzell]

Haha suck it haters. Controversy Cam for the “W”. Great video gentleman.

[christophermitchell]

2.2volts per cell max charge, 12 volt batteries contain 6 cells totaling to 13.2volts total charge available. Im an A&P and this is the stupid maths that damage brain cells.

[vicentecarrasco]

hi i have a question，can jump start 24v vehicles using two 12v vehicles？

[Nocholas]

" give em a little extra on the welder"

[tacklebox]

Another job well done by the Wrenchster

[NSoutdoorsman]

everything you say is factual i love it hahahaha satisfying to listen to

[NSoutdoorsman]

amps do max out from an alertnaotr around 1200rpm
