Turn it on for 15 min then turn off and wait one hour before doing it again. Do this for a total of 5 times. Maybe a couple more times if your battery is really bad. Good luck everyone and practice good safety.

    South Africa. Great video thanks.
    As a student, 50 odd years ago, I also, intuitively, did the same, only cruder. Not all salts were dissolved and I simply poured it into the cells. And it worked.!
    However, in my young mind, I did the following:
    I poured out the Acid and quick flushed it with water.
    Then I poured in Bicarb solution, to penetrate the bottom sediment, that short circuit cell, and to break it up with the bubbly reaction with residue Acid in the bottom sludge.
    I then rinsed it well to get rid of clusters of sludge.
    I then poured in my Epson salt concoction in and charged it in reverse polarity.
    The thinking in my small brain was that, one of the plates were depleted, and if I revers charge it, (my Positive was from now on, my Negative), I could build up the depleted plate with a metal with higher Electro-potential value , on the periodic table.
    As far as my memory serves, it worked just fine.

    No matter what you do , it all depends on how good the lead plates are. If they are partially eaten away The battery will not last very long and is very undependable, I learned this from trying all these ideas. No matter what, it will not last much longer.

  • @victoryfirst2878
    @victoryfirst2878 2 года назад +6

    What you are doing definitely works. But not cleaning the dirt and rust from the top of the battery will end up getting into the inside of the battery. This will short one of the cells out. Otherwise you are doing things correctly and that does work. Worked for me fella. Nice

  • @markfothebeast
    @markfothebeast 7 лет назад +3

    Battery plates are soft and break easily. If the plates are deteriorated, the battery is junk. The Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) is a temporary solution to help recharge the cells, allowing the sulfuric acid to become acidic once again and "hopefully" dissolve some of the lead sulfate from the plates. This is where I'm at - finding a chemical solution to dissolve the lead sulfate without harming the lead plates in an empty battery.
    Automotive lead acid batteries are generally 30% to 37% sulfuric acid. As far as I know, the acid has nearly an infinite life without any chemical contamination.
    The water evaporating from a cell and exposing the plate to air or leaving a battery discharged is what causes most of these issues.
    Simply adding distilled water back to the cell and trickle charging (3-amps or less) for a few days does wonders. I have mine overcharge to a "safe" boil. I'd gotten almost 24 months out of an old battery this way.

    I was thinking pouring it in a bucket before he started pouring it out. I like what he did by bring the battery back to life. Go to the junkyard and see if they will let you have the old batteries if you pull them. You could use them in your solar system or as a spare to jump your vehicles. In a truck you could install it and have it only charging and not tied in the electrical system. If the other battery happens to die you can use the other to jump it.

    you can pour the old battery acid in a large enough container.

I dont know about Epsom salt used this way. Never seen it done before but i did hear about it.

It was an honest mistake from ignorance, not intentional, and you corrected it and communicated that in the video with your warning so as far as I am concerned you are a decent guy. Hopefully now more people have learned not to do that. Thanks for your video.

    The top of the battery has BLEM blazened into the plastic. Sometimes it may also be printed on a sticker. This means the battery has already been "reconditioned" at some point. 12.6v is not bad for a second time recondition. But I would be interested in know how long it lasts. 6 months maybe.

It is a smashing exclusive guide for learning how to recondition batteries at home without the normal expense. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my best friend Jordan at last got excellent results with it.

      @@briantruck2284 I tried it also on 3 boat battery's that had set for 15 years with no luck. Not all the cells would take a charge. Only a couple of the cells would. I used an old trickle charger first with no luck. Then I tried charging on my 10 amp charger, no luck. Then I tried my 200 amp charger. The cells bubbled and you could see vapors coming out of the cells. Still no luck bringing all 6 cells up. All of the chargers I used were the old style. I heard not to use the "SMART" charger so I used the old types that continue charging until unplugged. I was given 3 more old boat battery's I'm going to give these a shot to see if my luck changed.

    • @texashillshomesteader2476
      @texashillshomesteader2476 8 лет назад +3

      No it wont, that is a old tale. The reason why people believed that years ago was because concrete can become very cold and the cold drains the battery down, but it will come right back up when warm again. The board under is acting as an insulator.

    • @bryanvonn2217
      @bryanvonn2217 6 лет назад

      No the real reason rest in the fact batteries were made w paper coverings the electrolyte would saturate it and would discharge on a hard non absorbent surface like concrete.... temperature is also correctly another reason for a the older less power dence construction years ago. Nothing but a minor temp issue nowdays.

    • @chucklanzi6107
      @chucklanzi6107 6 лет назад

      Today's batteries WILL NOT lose their charge sitting on any surface. Consult any battery manufacturer of any brand and they will confirm. Not to mention that they most likely make batteries for multiple name brands so I'm sure all of them can't be wrong

    • @robertblackwell8074
      @robertblackwell8074 6 лет назад

      False statement. the first batteries leaked so they had a path to ground, hence a piece of wood to insulate.. With the modern batteries, invention of plastic, era they no longer leak and have no path to ground.you can sit them any where. A little thought would help here instead of repeating what some one told you.

    That little bit of sulfuric acid won't hurt the ground. The rain is full of it in most areas downwind from the big city.
    AND, if an old battery could really be made good enough to use for any real work they'd be worth more than the 2 bucks the recycler gives you.

  • @josemedeiros007
    @josemedeiros007 9 лет назад +10

    I hope you don't mind my comment, but the first thing you should have done is clean all the debris and dirt off the top off the battery, I also would have saved the electrolyte it has lead particles in it, and after you desulfated the battery, you could re-add the old electrolyte. Take a look at Pulse Tech battery desulfators, but they do take several weeks to work.

    • @ThunderHead289
      @ThunderHead289  9 лет назад +2
