*This battery reconditioning program exceeded my presumptions. It worked on any drill battery, several AA and AAA batteries, **batery.repair** and any camera battery. The steps are simple and the act itself is exciting to do. No matter what type of battery you`ve got, it is sure to function again!*

Wow your video literally put me to sleep thanks now i know what to watch when i can't sleep

[skiball]

How exactly did you check the cells? What parts of the battery did you touch the posts of your meter to? Thanks

[bill]

I have heard that before charging, you should just make sure that the plates are covered with water, charge the battery, and then fill to full after charge with distilled water?

[ee]

great video. you gave me enough to get started, but there are some important things that you left out that are crucial, at least for a newbie DIYer like myself. don't take this wrong, i'm not trying to be a wise guy, but this topic really intrigues me and since i'm just getting started, my level of understanding not up to par.

first, when testing the cells, your hands are in the way and you didn't explain where the leads are going. for example, are both leads in the same hole or in adjacent holes as you move from left to right? do the leads touch the plates or just inserted into the water? you mentioned that there's a video #2 at the end and i looked through the videos in your channel and could not find it. did you decide not to do it? because none of the other videos' titles seem to be associated with this topic? if you decide to answer this post, it might be more beneficial to your viewers if your answer is added to your description, because that would be more visible in the future to anyone else with these questions.

To all:....Get a "PulseTech" Xtreame battery desulfator (s). I have several use them, on my golf cart, Miller Welder batteries and three of my vehicles. They work great. Constantly pulsing the plates keep them free of lead sulfates.

[butchtheiw]

Hey! You blew right over how to measure those cell voltages. How about showing us how you did it.

[forsfullcommunications]

Greetings, during the sulfation process, do the residues fall to the bottom of the battery or simply disappear by virtue of Epson Salt dissolves?  If it falls to the bottom is it important to get rid of it for the best functionality of the battery itself?

[chevydmax]

Did you make a second video? If you did I can't find it. PLEASE HELP.

[josemedeiros]

Great video. How about making a video on testing Battery Desulfators? I have a Pulse Tech PowerPulse passive battery desulfator on my 2001 BMW battery and Pulse Tech claims that their desulfators and chargers use a patented frequency to extend battery life up to three times.

[ihtsarl]

Good video Thanks but cannot find video no 2 can you kindly send the link Cheers and thanks

[addictedit]

Where can I find the second and third videos? I don't see them on your page.

I found recently if you use a meg ohm meter and measure from one terminal to the case of the battery you will be surprised to find there is often a leakage of several Megohms. It is best to use a solution of baking soda and water and flush off the top of the battery, being careful to secure the caps first as you dont want the mixture to get into the battery

[daves]

Hmmm... no part 2 or part 3... I guess part 1 didn't work out.

[vLife]

The Voltage charts are for at rest or with loads? I've been using a really cheap $100 Excide 115AH deep cycle battery as my starter and house battery for about a year and half. I've taken it down to 11.5v about 50 nights. I am wondering how long it will last. One number that confuses me is Reserve capacity. If my battery is rated 115AH, I presume that means i have about 700WH of usable but have never been able to achieve that. Also If they claim it has a 205 minute reserve capacity @25amp, what does that REALLY mean.. not really (205*12*25)/60 = 1025WH of usable right?? How is it possible that a 12 fridge that is consuming about 40watts took my battery from 12.6v to 12.1v from 9pm to 6am?

[tdiddle]

I wouldn't even care about voltage, loads, amps, or electrocution. Just if the battery isn't functioning well, then how do you rehab it?

[Fee.]

I’m glad I’m not the only one who was conned out of $20 for that POS multimeter from o’reileys

[kamanamulenga]

Thanks 4 the demonstration it has really helped me 9

[manuelcalvorodriguez]

Why you did not just recharge in deep cycle the thing from the beginning?

[here_for_the]

Reason no vid#2 or #3, is cuz un- fortunately, it didn't wrk. These rampant *reconditioning videos* all over U tube are very misleading/ generally not very successful, or SAFE for average guy/gal. Only 10/15% are usable and only if they were not that bad to begin w/

I too have tried several battery restoration recently. Batteries will not recondition once U have 1 or more bad cells. Even if you can get the voltage up about 12.5v+ Often we found once you load the battery. By load test or loading it naturally, just destroys all your hard work of removing acid. Neutralizing acid to make it safe to handle. Replacing acid solution w/new electrolytes like epsom salts/distilled water. All the jumping thru hoops. Shaking ( oh, and dont forget the baking soda washing of internal plates in each cell before replacing the electrolytic fluids.
u do all this on a battery that has 1 or more bad cells, and u just pissed away hrs and hrs.
Its really either a good battery that can be brought back or a bad battery that cannot.
If u determine that before all the work, u can decide if the 1 in 5 batterys u mess w/are junk before hrs if wasted wrk.
Its gotta be a good battery that needs some topping off of distilled water, or a good slow trickle charge to get bk to 80%+

I spent 2 weeks trying to get a bad cell to revive in 5 different batterys.
None would revive, if they just had 1 bad cell. Usually its a cell on the end. Not always, but if u were a betting man, u dont wanna bet against the end cell being the bad or worst of them. Prolly 75% of the time.

The real lesson here, is store your batteries not being used during cold weather or any weather when u can, inside your shop/garage. If climate is better thsn the outside. Both heat and freezing prematurely kills batteries.
The near 70% distilled water content can freeze in sub zero temps, even thou the ~34% acid solution is a form of anti freeze.
Then, when storing these expensive and not being used batterys in boats, enclosed trailers for race cars, and toy haulers, ect, you put them on a trickle charger. These newer de-sultiphication ( sp?) Chargers seem to be the better choice than the average Walmart, cheaply made Schumacher battery charger. Don Schumacher didnt get to beca muti millionaire selling u a great charger at a cheap price.
He sells u a cheap charger at a high price, hoes top fuel racing fir decades, while paying the bill on not only his own sons Top fuel team, but several other race teams, including at times some pro stock bike guys like craig treble. All good guys.
Point is. Cheap chargers dont help anyone get more out of a battery these days.
.plus batteries are made of lower quality materials now more than ever before.

So tricke charge ur batteries not in use, and if u can. Buy the 1s that have a desulphate mode. U can, without adding any fluids. If you kerp exterior of battery suoer clean ( as that film of grime LITERALLY SUCKS VOLTAGE OUT OF BATTERY.) Take & touch a volt meter to opposite ends of a grime'y battery case, opposite sides, and if there is enuff filth. It will read on volt meter 1 to nearly 3 volts just touching the plastic case, as the filth also touches the posts, and this acts as 1 large conducive "short" or drain. On your battery.
Just saw a 19 yr old, AC delco battery start to go bad, as 1 cell is now going bad.
Car was kept spotless its entire life, owned by a woman who loves her 2002 Camaro LS powered manual tranny car. Its got 39k miles on it as of now, but wasnt her daily till 5 or 6 yrs ago. She works from hm, so its not driven 12k a yr like average. That battery looked brand new when removed from car, as it started to slow crank in May, which is not a weather month of extreme heat or cold.
I tk it after she replaced it, and hav bedn slow charging this 19 yr old battery. Still has 1 cell low, and reads on the very edge of good/bad, on load tester.
Im gonna try using it on a old 4 cyl tractor for a while. U just cannot fix a bad cell. Then tend to short out.
If battery makers built battery's properly, they would all last several years longer.
But how do u sell batteries to people who do not need replacements??

I have 16+ items that use 12V car or lawn mower batterys. ( 3 that use 6V batterys)
3 things i own use 2 batterys per machine/veh..
2 diesel trucks, & 1- 24v military diesel Gen Set, on military trailer, w/ two 12V smaller batteries, in series, to get 24v, as most military equipment is 24v.

So when u got tractors, backhoes, muti lawn mowers, trucks, cars, fork lifts, battery powered indoor fork lifts, race cars, boats, rzr's, golf carts, enclosed car/toy hauler trailers. And everything uses batteys. U wanna get them to reconditioned status..

So when u got over a dozen +batteries, ur constantly dealing with dead or liw Voltage/bad cell batteries.

Dont even get me started on TIRES.
Phuk. Prolly need, right now. to buy at least 7 new tires for our 1 ton dually, ( spare is #7)
5 for our 4x4 diesel SUV --1 Spare).
Some tires are reasonably on both trucks, , but i hate to hav mismatched old/new tires, on heavy towing vehicles.

Need 1 tire replaced on 3ramp mtr-cycle trailer. Really shoul do 2 new 1s .

(We hav Replaced, just in the last 18+ months or
5 new tires on open 2 axle trailer, (plus spare), 4 on '90s beater car, 4 on f150,
And 2 on a lawn mower. Backhoe needs tires, old ford tractor needs um still.
Forklift some day will.
I hav an 18 yr old Optima red top in my old 50s truck. Its the old 1 version AGM, so its actually a good battery. The newer 1s from Optima are worth a piss. Might as well buy a $100 battery instead, cuz the $200+ red top now days will likely not outlast 2 -$100 lead acids..
Sad they take great products and make them cheap to sell more after there reputation is established.
So, in the end. Keep tires aired up properly, keep batteries tended when possible, & out of freezing weather when not in use. AND NEVER STORE A BATTERY DIRECTLY ON CONCRETE. WILL KILL IT QWIKER. ON BOARD, PLYWOOD, OR RUBBER MATT. NEVER STORE BATTERIES ON CONCRETE AT ALL IF AVOIDABLE. .
Wish these battery tricks worked.
The reason there is no #2 or #3 videos, is because he couldn't get the battery to come back to 80%+ capacity.
I know. Just spent 2 weeks phukin w/6-7, of them. Got 2 batteries to cone bk about ~~80/~85%.. only cuz they were not totally bad yet w/1 or morr truely bad cells.
If I ever do get 1 of these bad cell batteries bk to operating. I promise you I will post it and how I did it
Im wirking on trying to only charge a select q or 2 cells at a time rite now, to try to de-suphicate(even a word?), just the bad holes, w/o overtaxing the already properly functioning cells.
Not even sure that will wirk yet.
But going to try it on an expensive Deep cycle for my encloded race car hauler.
Will repost here if we ever really accomplish something worth posting.

Im still waiting for the DIY Re-tread'ing of tires. As ive either spent, or will spent. prolly 3-4 grand on tires i havnt yet bought sometime soon. Just dragging feet on those purchases. Spent prolly $6/700+ easy, on 12v batteries in past yr.

Be safe when messing w/batteries.
The acid on ur jeans isnt so bad. Get it in ur eyes. or ur kids eyes, and u will wish u just bought a battery. SO BE EXTRA AND EXTREMELY CAREFUL PLEASE .
LOSING VISION ISNT WORTH IT.

Last story. My closest high school friends dad is at a gas station, . Off to side of main building. Hood up, as car isnt charging right, maybe he figures alternator or bad battery. Tryin to get hm from work.

He us messing around /battery posts, thinking they are just dirty & corroded so much it wont charge up from alternator. car us running mind u.
Suddenly, no warning, battery BLOWS UP IN HIS DADS FACE. EXTREMELY BAD SITUATION.
THE BLAST & SHOCK FROM THE EXPLOSION, not only pushes him backwards, but he sorta spins around and his feet hit curbing edge of parking lot.
He lands face 1st into the ground without hardly getting his hand up and outward, due to being blinded instantly by burning acid fluid from battery.
As he lands face dwn, he realizes his face is in a snow bank, from the plow trk that cleaned parking lot a day or 2 before after snow storm.
Blindly e started using the snow to try to wah and flush eyes in a panic, to get acid off face and out of eyes, nose and mouth.

They called an ambulance. By the time he was released from hospital, the last words the ER doctor said was, Mr G. If by the grace of god u had not gotten that snow upon ut face an eyes /in seconds of it covering you, id be talking to a blind man right now. You nay be the luckiest guy ive seen in yrs in the ER for this sort of life altering injury. . & u are going hm w/ nearly no damaged skin or other senses.
That snow save your vision, and u having the common sense to scrub acid off.
We all wanna save money, but not many of these bad batteries can be reconditioned as these u tube videos would like u to believe.
I spent enuff time working on them to tell u its maybe 10/15% that. CAN recharged and tended.
