Dan, a superb job of teaching. Well articulated and demonstrated. A pace that all should be able to follow-with meaningful demonstrations. Thanks for your excellent presentation. Douglas R Jackson MD
Make sure if you disconnect the battery from your vehicle you have your radio code so you don’t lose your radio. It may not reconnect when battery is reinstalled. Some radios are security protected. If it loses power to the radio and you don’t have the code to reset the radio you need to go to the dealer. You will need your ID and registration. There is a fee. They may charge you the hourly rate.
Yes. Such a pain in the butt for no good reason In my opinion. It’s worth noting I know for a fact that Honda has a website you can enter your vin into and I will give you the code for free just a fyi for anyone.
15:13 The way that battery slipped out of that battery carrier the first time you attached and tried to lift it, made me think of how utterly destroyed your $100 battery would become if it ever dropped to the floor or even onto your foot, on the way to the bench!
4:16 can safely tough both terminals of the battery with bare hands without being electrocuted 5:01 if you happen to tough the positive side to negative side, all the current will run from one side to another
Just a tip here the positive lead splits one goes directly to the start motor the other goes into the cars main fuse box. Never take the positive lead off first remember this negative off then positive. Positive on then negative. Also never cross the two. Positive is always red with a plus sign negative is always black with a minus sign.
How long can a serviceable battery last? I never touch batteries and they typically last 7-8 years for me. Do I need to service them from now on? Thanks
Don't have to worry that much about caring for your lead acid battery if you just turn in your battery at Costco whenever it starts to get weak, free batteries for life if you turn it in within the nonprorated warranty. Warranty resets
sir in one of our car, if I replace an original battery of 110 A, with a new battery of 100 A... what problems I may face ??? I actually did this with Audi Q7,now Everytime I drive this car & park it somewhere,engine does not starts next time,so is it because of battery ???
If you remove the battery to charge it and 4 cells are still in the Recharge Red after 6 hours of charging; I just bought a New Battery and called it a day?
Really loved this vid. It taught me a lot. BUT. I have a question. "How does heat affect the life of a car battery?" I grew up in northern New Jersey where batteries would easily last 8 or 10 years. I moved to to Japan where I lived for 15 years -- batteries lasted a similar time. A decade or better. Eighteen years ago, I moved to Thailand where batteries last a maximum of four years. More likely 3 years, even on a new car/truck. Is it the quality of the battery, or the environment that makes batteries degrade here so quickly?
1. Will dielectric geese help the battery conductivity of the terminal? 2. Will dielectric geese applied externally protect the terminals from corrosion?
dielectric grease is applied to electrical connections to prevent corrosion, and that's its only purpose. if your connections are already corroded and not making good contact, clean them.
i read some where that when reinstalling the battery that its a good idea to put some Vaseline(petroleum jelly) on battery terminals and i assume the leads as well to protect the contact points from acids and elements ... you did not say anything about this at all, any thoughts on this??
Grease, vaseline acts like a insulator when grease or vaseline becomes warm it becomes a liquid; then it might slide between battery post and battery cable clamp becoming an electrical insulator. Dilectercal greas should be safe to use but, vaseline probably not.
It seems only Americans need terminal spreaders, because all those listed on Ebay and Amazon UK actually ship from the US, and have ridiculous shipping fees of 20-40 Pounds due to that...
Well done, but.... I needed MUCH more information on how to add water IF I don't own that fancy water can. (and don't you have to clean that water can special after you stick it in the battery acid?) What does too little water look like, what would be to much water, what are the problems of either condition too. You mention cold and freezing issues are there any to hot issues for people who live in very hot places? Common urban legend says clean your battery with coca cola... is this ok or not? could you show how to jump a battery... would really like to see a close up of where to connect the negative line in a jump. You didn't show a close up during charging.. do you leave the caps off during charging and shouldn't you see bubbles if it is charging properly??? You mention using gloves but not what kind of gloves.. are cloth gloves ok like garden gloves or do they need to be latex. Also from a safety point... it didn't look safe to me when you bent over the top of the battery while showing the charging.... just an observation. Wish I had watch BEFORE I bought a new charger... that little thing you had looks better than what I just bought. And... what do you do if your own volt test says battery is dead but the store that sold it to you (and it is still under 100% warranty) says its still good...... I guess what I mean is are there any consumer points to battery ownership that could also be discussed like prorated warranty.... and... my battery isn't a gel battery but how do you maintain one of those? (thinking of buying one for an off road jeep) Fix up all this and then promote this video to drivers ed online programs so kids can have an easy link to such an important video...... Thanks!
Hi sir I am a car mechanic engine work, from Kuwait, 21 years old, Bangladesh and Kuwait total, 32 years working as a mechanic, and I am a Bangladeshi man, any chance to come to usa, tell me,,,,,,,, I work in petrol cars.

I was asking questions to topics we did not even cover yet and i'm happy to say all the questions did get answer. very informative video

Thank you, for the lesson on how to cook hotdogs without a grill.
lmao...this guy is a maroon!!
Best way I learnt how to get around batteries. Very useful technical skills to have. Thanks 👍🏾😊
Excellent information obut battery mentnence 👍🏻
8:29 So what you're saying is, you can't tell if a mechanic is married or not?
THANKS MR FOR A GREAT LESSONS ON BATTERIES TO KNOW HOW TO KEEP IT CLEAN AND TO KEEP MAINTAINING IT
Very informative best video I ever watched..
15:13 The way that battery slipped out of that battery carrier the first time you attached and tried to lift it, made me think of how utterly destroyed your $100 battery would become if it ever dropped to the floor or even onto your foot, on the way to the bench!
I knew it wasnt gonna work on the first try no lie. I dont trust those things, i trust my man hands instead
4:16 can safely tough both terminals of the battery with bare hands without being electrocuted
5:01 if you happen to tough the positive side to negative side, all the current will run from one side to another
Great thorough info very well explained!!
great videos..a lot of information in a systematic way..
Great instruction. BTW, is gas station water distilled? I suspect it might not be and rather just not guess.
Just a tip here the positive lead splits one goes directly to the start motor the other goes into the cars main fuse box. Never take the positive lead off first remember this negative off then positive. Positive on then negative. Also never cross the two. Positive is always red with a plus sign negative is always black with a minus sign.
I learned a new way to cook my franks! 👍
God bless you brother from another mother
I would like hear more on the distributor module and how to test it.
Omg this was awesome!! Thanks
How long can a serviceable battery last? I never touch batteries and they typically last 7-8 years for me. Do I need to service them from now on? Thanks
Surprised there was no mention of battery sulfation and the importance of using a desulfating battery charger/maintainer.
The information on sensor was explain well,I got a lot from that subject.
Please Professor,I would love to get more lesson on Auto Diagnostic, I'm an Auto mechanic and battery service JBN
Power leaves out of the negative side of the battery and returns via the positive side during discharge.
Boodieman72 Finally someone who understands how electrons flow
+houston we have a problem Depends, there is conventional and electron theory. The auto world teaches conventional... not electron.
The way the electrons flow is the only correct way.
Very nicely done.
Wonderful! Thank you!

I actually did this with Audi Q7,now Everytime I drive this car & park it somewhere,engine does not starts next time,so is it because of battery ???
you must sow how to instal a turbo e intercooler THANKS.
Thanks for the great video.
If you remove the battery to charge it and 4 cells are still in the Recharge Red after 6 hours of charging; I just bought a New Battery and called it a day?
What if your tie down is a cloth strap?
What I did is I poured some baking soda on the terminals and then poured water over it a few minutes later.
Excellent teaching here. Thanks
Very nice! 👍👍👍👍✌✌✌✌
Nice, I did learn how not to cook a hotdog. Way too long though. I fell asleep and had to go back.
Mr reed wooooooo, it's aaron .miss u guys
very educative. Thank you Regards
What about the use of a memory saver before disconnecting or changing batteries.?
Good question.
Save odb2 and all other information, like memory seat position, radio codes.
After cleaning the terminals Ncp2 battery corrosion preventative spray and distilled water
If I had this professor in school, maybe I would have gotten an education!
Really loved this vid. It taught me a lot. BUT. I have a question.
"How does heat affect the life of a car battery?"
I grew up in northern New Jersey where batteries would easily last 8 or 10 years.
I moved to to Japan where I lived for 15 years -- batteries lasted a similar time. A decade or better.
Eighteen years ago, I moved to Thailand where batteries last a maximum of four years. More likely 3 years, even on a new car/truck.
Is it the quality of the battery, or the environment that makes batteries degrade here so quickly?
That's interesting! Humidity, maybe? Or different manufacturing standards between countries?
1. Will dielectric geese help the battery conductivity of the terminal? 2. Will dielectric geese applied externally protect the terminals from corrosion?

great info nice demo
i read some where that when reinstalling the battery that its a good idea to put some Vaseline(petroleum jelly) on battery terminals and i assume the leads as well to protect the contact points from acids and elements ... you did not say anything about this at all, any thoughts on this??
Vaseline would be fine and dielectric grease would even be better.
Grease, vaseline acts like a insulator when grease or vaseline becomes warm it becomes a liquid; then it might slide between battery post and battery cable clamp becoming an electrical insulator. Dilectercal greas should be safe to use but, vaseline probably not.
Great video
Thank you
well done, thank you ...
Good tutorial!
too long otherwise good also would like to have seen something about checking the alternator
It seems only Americans need terminal spreaders, because all those listed on Ebay and Amazon UK actually ship from the US, and have ridiculous shipping fees of 20-40 Pounds due to that...
thanks for all info
In an emergency you can cook your lunch with a car battery 🙃
Good job
Great. Hallam in Barbados.
Great information
Thanks alot.
Honestly I don't trust that battery carrier. 😄
😀👍👍👍
