I can confirm this works great. I did this on my excavator battery that was too dead to even turn on the gauges. Its been 3 months since performing this procedure and the battery still acts like new and cranks the diesel engine quickly. This may not revive every battery but it won't hurt the value of your battery as a core if you do this and it doesn't revive your battery. Good luck and I hope this saves you a few bucks when everything is so expensive.
It sure does work Jacob! Glad we could help! Thank you for the view and sharing your stupendous results! Hope you have a great week my friend. mad Mike & team
@@SweetProjectCars I have a battery that has been sitting for 5 years should I use caustic soda to clean it first then do this process with the welder? should I buy new acid?
Your doing whats known as an equalization charge. Essentially, you are charging the battery at a higher voltage than it is typically charged to help remove built-up sulfate and balance the voltage of each cell. on the battery. Lead acid battery's only, never on AGM or lithium batteries.
Desulfation is typically done with short pulses of very high charging current with some resting between pulses to prevent the battery overheating. I assume your welder is set for DC reverse polarity so you won't be discharging at high current. This generates a lot of hydrogen for which is very explosive so be careful. Don't allow any sparking when connecting/disconnecting.
I recycle metals as a hobby and money earner. Son just delivered me a load of fairly new car batteries, supposedly maintenance free. Most fairly new, showed green or black eyes. But not enough to turn a starter motor. I picked a few and removed the caps from the maintenance free batteries. Some caps easy to get off, many are quite difficult. All the batteries had no liquid visible anywhere. Even though the eye was a green or black colour, the battery was not really useful. I even added demin water to 1 but could not get enough response. It appears the battery makers are making topping off the battery cells an impossible task to heighten their profits, part of being green sustainable. What a waste to the environment, batteries needing to be replaced needlessly. If you see a company using the word sustainability or any of its variants, the company is really talking about its profits and the use of those words have nothing to do with the environment.
I have a pair of AGM Optima 31T Yellow Top batteries ($375 each) since 2003 in my boat and they are as good as new. They sit on a marine battery maintainer 24/7/365. I take them out every year and test them on a 1,000 amp battery tester, and surprisingly they are good. My point here is that, if you take care of your batteries as shown in this video, even lead acid batteries can last indefinitely. Good video sir - you’re a National Treasure. Happy Holidays all! BTW, the high amps from the welder is cleaning the deposits off the lead plates, which acts like an insulator that reduces a battery’s voltage. Simple science that works.
You are correct WayneRite! Thank you so much for watching and sharing, we really appreciate it, hope you have a great week my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
To add a bit more clarification to your last statement, *acts like an insulator that reduces a battery's voltage and reduces the flow of amperage. Otherwise, well stated!
Okay, so I DID IT!!!! I bought the red welder and did exactly what you said. Brought it to a boil, bubbles popping out. Max 115 current. Thank you thank you thank you. Unfortunately I have an agm battery in another car. Never again agm. You're the best!!!!!!!!

As I sit here watching this, I can't help but imagine that its totally possible to build something like this into a car's circuitry. Given that everything is computer controlled. In other words, every two years your car could run a diagnostic and do this automatically. Obviously none of the car companies want to do this because they want to help their friends in the battery industry sell batteries.
We're with you on that Ron!! It all comes down to the companies making more and more so the consumer ends up getting the shaft. Your idea is fantastic! Thank you for watching and sharing your input is appreciated. Have a great week and Happy New Year. mad Mike the hammer SPC
I got an easier tip to never have a dead battery. Install a 5W solar panel in your rear deck of the car and wire it to the battery. It will keep the car trickle charged daily when in the sunshine and never allow the battery to drop in voltage to the point of sulfating. It counters the constant 10s of milliamp drain on the sitting car's battery. Great for anyone parked outside and don't drive their cars often, like city dwellers. If the car is stored indoors, buy yourself a Battery Tender.
I'm retired and drive my Ranger about 250 miles per year, so it was not uncommon for me to find my battery dead when I needed to go somewhere. I got tired of buying a new battery every year, so I bought a 20 watt solar panel off eBay (about $25), a 5 amp controller from AliExpress (little over $5) I just laid the solar panel in the bed of the pickup, ran a wire under the door to the controller I had hung on the back of the seat and plugged the controller into the cigarette lighter. The controller has a light on it to indicate when the battery is fully charged and I can see it from the kitchen window (that's why I hung the controller on the back of the seat.) I look out the window and if I see a green light, I know the battery is fully charged. I haven't had to replace the battery for six years and it's always ready to go when I am. If you have to leave the solar panel under the front or rear windshield, get the biggest one you can conveniently deal with as the glass will drastically reduce the panel's output. Those little 1.5 watt panels are useless behind a windshield, so don't waste your money on one.
Would have loved to seen this last year! After buying 3 boat batteries, zero turn battery, v star 950 battery, F150 battery, etc my cost was well over $800

You'll never have dry turkey if you do it right. Dissolve 1 lb of brown sugar 1 lb of salt couple tablespoons of Ginger tablespoon of allspice tablespoon of cinnamon tablespoon of nutmeg and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper in water Marinate the turkey overnight in this marinade. The next day remove the bird dry it fully with paper towels. Then rub softened butter over the entire bird. Now place in a 450 oven until internal temperature of the breast is 160 degrees fahrenheit. Remove and let's sit on counter for at least 15 minutes. Now enjoy your juicy bird with subtle flavors of the holiday season because of the spices. You're welcome
i have to do this every time i use my mobility scooter till near dead. it increases the batteries amp hrs use. when i normally charged the batteries to the full shut off they only lasted a days use and when i so called let them boil for a bit after they reached full normal charge i got three days use out of them . bad thing is though nothing lasts forever , even batteries. they will eventually fail over time and go dead quick under a load.
I connect a charger every time I service the vehicle. A thorough charge, equalisation, a few times a year is much kinder on plates than cooking it every 2 years Prevention saves issues, compared to using the radio or lights when engine is not running, that's a killer
I have a charger on my boat that does this. It’s called equalize mode. It even improves brand new batteries. My new trolling motor batteries fully charged sat at 12.6 static voltage now they’re at 12.9. This method does work!
Well I got over 14 and 16 years out of factory installed "Panasonic" batteries in our Honda and Toyota in weather that goes from 30C to -25C. The trick is topping up the battery with distilled water every couple of years and a properly vehicle charging system. Your boiling of the battery is "cell equalization" which can only be done to a standard flood leaded acid (FLA) battery, not an AGM or GEL battery. Some chargers have that feature, or you can simply use the "winter" snowflake charging mode (higher voltage) in the summer.
We've found that the option on chargers doesn't work like our method does. Thank you for watching and sharing A.C.E. have a great week. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Unlikely this will work reliably. The normal chemical action of lead and sulfuric acid Will result in slight decline in the integrity of the lead plates over time. Charging reverses the process, but not 100%. “Boiling” a battery is helpful, but a desulfating cycle on some chargers takes a long time. In cases where the deposits are so deep the electrical current can’t get to the material, it’s stuck forever. This is why battery recycling companies salvage the lead and build a new battery. Just keep it charged and or buy a battery charger with a trickle charge desulfating setting.
We have done this process for years and years Clifford, we have batteries that are still going after 20+ years, so it does work my friend. Thanks for watching, have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC

Have deep-fried many a 20+ lb turkey--but after I first Mesquite smoked a turkey, I've never gone back to frying. The secret to keeping the meat moist is to inject it with chicken broth in all limbs, back, breast before smoking.
I always throw a charger on the car a couple times a year, while doing maintenance or just because. It's how I've had a couple of optima batteries last 12 and 14 years respective in daily drivers. In simple terms,alternators send dirty power and a charger helps top them off correctly. As a basic rule of thumb,it'll take an alternator up to 20mins to recharge a battery back to where it was before you used it to start the car.
Thank you for watching and sharing MrHillfolk, we truly appreciate your view and input, hope you have a fantastic week my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Wow you lack of electronics and stating alternators send dirty power blows my mind, as an electronic engineer I can tell you that most alternators on modern cars send in around 100+ amps are very well regulated, the reason why batteries fail are the following Over and under temperature, think you are starting in snow and then 20-30 minutes that battery has gone from ice to living next to a hot engine. Second the battery manufacturing build in a shelf life of a few years by making plates thinner and closer together so under high load they buckle and short Third the gap on the bottom from the plates is less so deposits[sediments] can now grow and short out cells, Finally the reason why this welder trick works it literally has dirty power ie no safety it boils the sediments away clearing anything low down in the cell, it will blow shorts away, it will force a charge onto a cell that may have bad chemistry on the surface of the lead plates... Basically think of rusty bolt and hitting so hard the rust drops off. So alternator is like trying to gently on rusty bolt and welder is like here have a sledgehammer. That been said we all have used a sledgehammer hammer when needed so this welder trick is valid. But no modern alternator sends dirty power otherwise you ECU and other electronics will nor last. Also if you don't have a background in the field don't make half arse guesses at thing you don't understand.

Thanks for the video. By regular household current for the welder, do you mean 120v 15a,20a, or 30a? With the welder set at the "22" that you started at, does that draw 22amps? Thanks
The most common electrical outlet in any home is a 110 volt. Sometimes you may hear 110 volt plugs referred to as 120 volt. Do not be confused by this; think of them as one and the same. Hope this helps Brian, thanks for watching, have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Think in watts and it makes more sense, volts x amps. your welder is putting out a lower voltage at a higher current. Example, 15V x 22A = 330W. Your welder will be drawing a bet more from the power outlet because nothing is totally efficient, so maybe 350W. So 350W ÷ 120V = 2.9A, so about 3A.

Good video, but I would probably remove the battery from the vehicle, if at all possible, to prevent any possible battery acid damage which is not usually evident until it's too late. This next task can simultaneously test the theory that no acid is boiling off.. Lay down some new Levi blue jeans around the battery, then do the battery boil, then wash the blue jeans, then after drying the blue jeans, count the number of holes in the blue jeans from the battery acid to give a reference point as to the potential for battery acid damage. Plus now you'll have some jeans with that much sought after worn out, and moth-eaten look. Simultaneously protecting the engine compartment, and making you look cool in your custom jeans.

Dirt is the most common battery killer rinse the batter off after it cools with baking soda and water to remove any acid particles left around, as it vents it out over time, keep it clean!
I understand that the reason batteries fail is they short out at the bottom of the fluid. The residue flakes off the plates and builds up on the bottom until it touches across plates and shorts out. Long life batteries just have deeper holding tanks with shorter plates.? So don't you need to suck all the fluid out to get the residue out, then filter it back into the battery? Or will the boiling dissolve this residue? does it plate it back onto the lead plates?

I assume your welder is set for DC reverse polarity so you won't be discharging at high current. This generates a lot of hydrogen for which is very explosive so be careful. Don't allow any sparking when connecting/disconnecting.
@@cphank151 Hence why he unplugs his welder from the outlet prior to disconnecting the cables.
I recycle metals as a hobby and money earner. Son just delivered me a load of fairly new car batteries, supposedly maintenance free. Most fairly new, showed green or black eyes. But not enough to turn a starter motor. I picked a few and removed the caps from the maintenance free batteries. Some caps easy to get off, many are quite difficult. All the batteries had no liquid visible anywhere. Even though the eye was a green or black colour, the battery was not really useful. I even added demin water to 1 but could not get enough response. It appears the battery makers are making topping off the battery cells an impossible task to heighten their profits, part of being green sustainable. What a waste to the environment, batteries needing to be replaced needlessly. If you see a company using the word sustainability or any of its variants, the company is really talking about its profits and the use of those words have nothing to do with the environment.

I have a pair of AGM Optima 31T Yellow Top batteries ($375 each) since 2003 in my boat and they are as good as new. They sit on a marine battery maintainer 24/7/365. I take them out every year and test them on a 1,000 amp battery tester, and surprisingly they are good. My point here is that, if you take care of your batteries as shown in this video, even lead acid batteries can last indefinitely. Good video sir - you’re a National Treasure. Happy Holidays all! BTW, the high amps from the welder is cleaning the deposits off the lead plates, which acts like an insulator that reduces a battery’s voltage. Simple science that works.
You are correct WayneRite! Thank you so much for watching and sharing, we really appreciate it, hope you have a great week my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
I wish that I had one of those charges or arc welder machine! I have a 110 mig welder & I'm sure that it wouldn't work.
That's when Optima's were still made in the USA. Now they are made in Mexico and are total garbage.

To add a bit more clarification to your last statement, *acts like an insulator that reduces a battery's voltage and reduces the flow of amperage. Otherwise, well stated!
Okay, so I DID IT!!!! I bought the red welder and did exactly what you said. Brought it to a boil, bubbles popping out. Max 115 current. Thank you thank you thank you. Unfortunately I have an agm battery in another car. Never again agm. You're the best!!!!!!!!

As I sit here watching this, I can't help but imagine that its totally possible to build something like this into a car's circuitry. Given that everything is computer controlled. In other words, every two years your car could run a diagnostic and do this automatically. Obviously none of the car companies want to do this because they want to help their friends in the battery industry sell batteries.

I got an easier tip to never have a dead battery. Install a 5W solar panel in your rear deck of the car and wire it to the battery. It will keep the car trickle charged daily when in the sunshine and never allow the battery to drop in voltage to the point of sulfating. It counters the constant 10s of milliamp drain on the sitting car's battery. Great for anyone parked outside and don't drive their cars often, like city dwellers. If the car is stored indoors, buy yourself a Battery Tender.

I'm retired and drive my Ranger about 250 miles per year, so it was not uncommon for me to find my battery dead when I needed to go somewhere. I got tired of buying a new battery every year, so I bought a 20 watt solar panel off eBay (about $25), a 5 amp controller from AliExpress (little over $5) I just laid the solar panel in the bed of the pickup, ran a wire under the door to the controller I had hung on the back of the seat and plugged the controller into the cigarette lighter. The controller has a light on it to indicate when the battery is fully charged and I can see it from the kitchen window (that's why I hung the controller on the back of the seat.) I look out the window and if I see a green light, I know the battery is fully charged. I haven't had to replace the battery for six years and it's always ready to go when I am. If you have to leave the solar panel under the front or rear windshield, get the biggest one you can conveniently deal with as the glass will drastically reduce the panel's output. Those little 1.5 watt panels are useless behind a windshield, so don't waste your money on one.
should be a standard feature on ALL CARS .. a built-in solar trickle charger.
make sure the panel includes a diode! otherwise the panel will DRAIN the battery if no sun.

How long on and off for a moto battery? About to put mine to sleep for a year and want it to fire up when I return from the middle east!
how much did he donate?
Why Not just swap it with a capacitor set up and a mini SLA way more reliable
i have to do this every time i use my mobility scooter till near dead. it increases the batteries amp hrs use. when i normally charged the batteries to the full shut off they only lasted a days use and when i so called let them boil for a bit after they reached full normal charge i got three days use out of them . bad thing is though nothing lasts forever , even batteries. they will eventually fail over time and go dead quick under a load.
I do believe the "smoke" from the battery is hydrogen gas. Make sure you don't arc anything when you do this! Great video, I am buying that welder

I connect a charger every time I service the vehicle.
A thorough charge, equalisation, a few times a year is much kinder on plates than cooking it every 2 years
Prevention saves issues, compared to using the radio or lights when engine is not running, that's a killer

I have a charger on my boat that does this. It’s called equalize mode. It even improves brand new batteries. My new trolling motor batteries fully charged sat at 12.6 static voltage now they’re at 12.9. This method does work!
Well I got over 14 and 16 years out of factory installed "Panasonic" batteries in our Honda and Toyota in weather that goes from 30C to -25C. The trick is topping up the battery with distilled water every couple of years and a properly vehicle charging system. Your boiling of the battery is "cell equalization" which can only be done to a standard flood leaded acid (FLA) battery, not an AGM or GEL battery. Some chargers have that feature, or you can simply use the "winter" snowflake charging mode (higher voltage) in the summer.
We've found that the option on chargers doesn't work like our method does. Thank you for watching and sharing A.C.E. have a great week. mad Mike the hammer SPC

Unlikely this will work reliably. The normal chemical action of lead and sulfuric acid Will result in slight decline in the integrity of the lead plates over time. Charging reverses the process, but not 100%. “Boiling” a battery is helpful, but a desulfating cycle on some chargers takes a long time. In cases where the deposits are so deep the electrical current can’t get to the material, it’s stuck forever. This is why battery recycling companies salvage the lead and build a new battery. Just keep it charged and or buy a battery charger with a trickle charge desulfating setting.
We have done this process for years and years Clifford, we have batteries that are still going after 20+ years, so it does work my friend. Thanks for watching, have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC

I always throw a charger on the car a couple times a year, while doing maintenance or just because.
It's how I've had a couple of optima batteries last 12 and 14 years respective in daily drivers.
In simple terms,alternators send dirty power and a charger helps top them off correctly.
As a basic rule of thumb,it'll take an alternator up to 20mins to recharge a battery back to where it was before you used it to start the car.
Thank you for watching and sharing MrHillfolk, we truly appreciate your view and input, hope you have a fantastic week my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Wow you lack of electronics and stating alternators send dirty power blows my mind, as an electronic engineer I can tell you that most alternators on modern cars send in around 100+ amps are very well regulated, the reason why batteries fail are the following
Over and under temperature, think you are starting in snow and then 20-30 minutes that battery has gone from ice to living next to a hot engine.
Second the battery manufacturing build in a shelf life of a few years by making plates thinner and closer together so under high load they buckle and short
Third the gap on the bottom from the plates is less so deposits[sediments] can now grow and short out cells,
Finally the reason why this welder trick works it literally has dirty power ie no safety it boils the sediments away clearing anything low down in the cell, it will blow shorts away, it will force a charge onto a cell that may have bad chemistry on the surface of the lead plates... Basically think of rusty bolt and hitting so hard the rust drops off.
So alternator is like trying to gently on rusty bolt and welder is like here have a sledgehammer. That been said we all have used a sledgehammer hammer when needed so this welder trick is valid. But no modern alternator sends dirty power otherwise you ECU and other electronics will nor last. Also if you don't have a background in the field don't make half arse guesses at thing you don't understand.
Marvelous work dear is that safe for battery separators and plates may be they burn on that high amperage and volts, what about batteries that already have 12.6 volts i will be really appreciated if you answer these questions good luck and keep it up

Thanks for the video. By regular household current for the welder, do you mean 120v 15a,20a, or 30a? With the welder set at the "22" that you started at, does that draw 22amps?
Thanks
The most common electrical outlet in any home is a 110 volt. Sometimes you may hear 110 volt plugs referred to as 120 volt. Do not be confused by this; think of them as one and the same. Hope this helps Brian, thanks for watching, have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Think in watts and it makes more sense, volts x amps. your welder is putting out a lower voltage at a higher current. Example, 15V x 22A = 330W. Your welder will be drawing a bet more from the power outlet because nothing is totally efficient, so maybe 350W. So 350W ÷ 120V = 2.9A, so about 3A.
Btw, Ronnie says he can take Hoolio easy peasy lemon squeezy! Or should we say "squeegy? Lol
No, the welder steps down the voltage and tho the welder says 22 amps it is not drawing 22 amps. Its like a transformer but it uses mosfets.
So at what amperage does the welder operate at 15 or 20 amps?

Good video, but I would probably remove the battery from the vehicle, if at all possible, to prevent any possible battery acid damage which is not usually evident until it's too late. This next task can simultaneously test the theory that no acid is boiling off.. Lay down some new Levi blue jeans around the battery, then do the battery boil, then wash the blue jeans, then after drying the blue jeans, count the number of holes in the blue jeans from the battery acid to give a reference point as to the potential for battery acid damage. Plus now you'll have some jeans with that much sought after worn out, and moth-eaten look. Simultaneously protecting the engine compartment, and making you look cool in your custom jeans.

My meter said it was a little over 16v when I had it at 90 amps.
My meter said 24volt at 113 amps
Dirt is the most common battery killer rinse the batter off after it cools with baking soda and water to remove any acid particles left around, as it vents it out over time, keep it clean!
For sure! Thank you for watching and sharing, we really appreciate it, have a great day my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
On sealed batteries , one can buy battery caps , drill holes where circles appear where a battery cap would be and fill with a syringe.
Thank you for watching and sharing, have a great week my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Pretty sure that's incorrect...sealed batteries are either gel filled or agm so you cant fill them with distilled water or acid
I understand that the reason batteries fail is they short out at the bottom of the fluid. The residue flakes off the plates and builds up on the bottom until it touches across plates and shorts out. Long life batteries just have deeper holding tanks with shorter plates.? So don't you need to suck all the fluid out to get the residue out, then filter it back into the battery? Or will the boiling dissolve this residue? does it plate it back onto the lead plates?
Watch this ruclips.net/video/VYtkn-N_p4s/видео.html it has a lot of additional information on this process, don't over analyze it my friend, just follow the video to a T, use the same tools we use for success. Thanks for watching, have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Two years ago I did some experimenting with this, I had three dead batteries that would not take a charge. I cooked them with my big floor charger, cycling from cook to cool intervals based on You Tube University teachings. Two of them did not come back to life even after several attempts (Charge the paddles AGAIN! LOL) One DID! It is in my tractor working like a charm still today! Yes I have an old school charger without the nanny safety crap.
Nice work Tom!! Thank you for watching and sharing your results, have a fantastic day my friend. mad Mike
does this only work for flooded lead acid. what about AGM?
This works on wet-style only batteries. Thank you for watching, have a great week my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
So the answer for AGM batteries is NO, right?
You have 2 tool lists....I am confused. Can the yellow welder be used on a regular 12 volt car battery? And which one is used for deep cycle batteries? I don't want to order the wrong one. Please tell me which one to use for a regular 12 volt car battery. Thanks, Terry
This amzn.to/3yW4ihK you can use for standard 12volt batteries, MT. Thanks for watching, have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
I have harbor freight 90 amp stick welder will it work with that?
Please follow the video to a T, there is no other alternative, use the exact same tools, products and method, we've spent years perfecting this process. Thanks for watching and asking, have a great week. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Looks like a good tip.
I only have an old arc welder, so, can I use the same process?
Will this work on a dead battery and bring it back from the dead🤔
Great tips as usual👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Please follow the video to a T, there is no other alternative, use the exact same tools, products and method, we've spent years perfecting this process. Give it a shot, you have nothing to lose on a dead battery, we've done it my friend. Thanks for watching and asking, have a great week, jonny. mad Mike the hammer SPC
@@SweetProjectCars 🎯🎯
Absolutely, which is why I asked if it were possible to use an alternative source.
Stick to the k own procedure is my motto
🙈🤫
Great & helpful ppl 🥳🥳🥳
Cannot be an AC output welder. Most are.
Only with an invertor welder; Not with those old heavy transformer welders.
Cannot use arc welder, they are AC. I you use another mig, make sure you get the polarity correct. Don't assume the earth clamp is negative. You will need to test the polarity with a multimeter.
I have old batteries that don't have any fluid un them.
Can I add distilled water and bring it back or is it history
Top them off within an inch of the tops with this amzn.to/3gb9Ni0 then get busy, you have all to gain and nothing to lose dale! Thank you for watching and asking, have a fantastic day and all the best on your project my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Graet tip! Q: Can this be done to sealed MF (maintenance free) batteries? The ones that don't have plugs that open at the top?
This works on wet-style only batteries Paul. Thank you for watching and asking, have a great week my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
NO
Yes, it works, all batteries had caps, even under stickers, open them and if the battery is an AGM type only put distilled water, do the trick with the welder and it works fine, i did it a lot of times with lead acid, agm and apparently “sealed” batteries.
Instead of a welder, can we do it this same way w/ a jump starter?
Please follow the video to a T, there is no other alternative, use the exact same tools, products and method, we've spent years perfecting this process. Thanks for watching and asking, have a great week. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Can this method be used on smaller 12v sealed lead acid batteries used for ebikes?
This works on all wet-style batteries, you just need to have access to the water inside the battery. Thanks for watching and asking, have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Happy holidays Mike
Thank you Ronnie! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year my friend, we really appreciate all of our great subscribers like you. mad Mike the hammer SPC
would this work using my 110 volt flux core wire welder.??..i think so,just checking...thanks

mad Mike the hammer SPC
Are your using a am or DC welder ? Thanks
Use this amzn.to/3yW4ihK and just a reminder, all of the products/tools we use in our videos can always be found in the ...MORE of the videos description, if you can't find it let us know and we will help you. Thanks for watching. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Ill try today🙂thanks
Awesome! Thank you for watching and sharing, have a great week my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
You ALSO want to use DISTILLED water because tap water has weird things in it like CHLORINE (added), LEAD (contaminate) NITRATES, NITRITES and OTHER contaminates. Some of which will interact with the acid in the battery.
You are correct Suzanne! Thank you for watching and sharing, we really appreciate it, hope you have a great week my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
sir i have 2 batteries one have showing 12.7v and second have 12.8v but there is cranking amps and backup can i run this procedure on that type off batteries that have 12.6 to 12.8v showing , and what if my battery have irritation cells or damaged cells is that still works, and there is any different procedure for 220v household voltages please reply it is very important to know thanks
This works on wet-style, acid batteries only, if your battery has acid in it and distilled water, this will work. Give it a shot, you've got nothing to lose my friend. Thanks for watching, have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
I don't see any comments on a lawnmower batterie, have you done this to a lawnmower battery. God bless yall real good, you n ur family have a merry Christmas.
This works on all lead acid batteries William, just cut the timelines in half for that size battery. Thanks for the view, have a great day my friend. mad Mike
What type of welder, stick only? AC, or DC ?
