- The right kind of batteries are never around when you need them. I'm Mark Erickson, and this is Infinite Solutions: Home Edition. In this episode, I'll show you how to recharge dead batteries using other types of batteries that still carry a charge.
IMPEDANCE RATIO CORRECTION: 2AA = 3 9V

Over the past 15 years this video has saved me $17,537.43 in batteries. THANKS MARK ERICKSON!
No freaking way
I watched this video 10 years ago. I was 11 and totally bought this. I applaud this guy it's so well done. The thing about electrical tape makes it a little too obvious though
Me too bro!
I was really baffled and then the electrical tape thing happened lol
It does work
Holy shit. I bought into this when I was 18 when it first came out. I'm watching old vidoes i've favorited and stumbled on this. I cant believe I didn't notice that sooner.
I feel like I’ve been Rick Rolled
I can't differentiate trolls from humans in the comments.
I have spent months studying battery reconditioning and discovered an awesome website at Jons mender guide (check it out on google)
This legend came on youtube, add 15 videos for us and gone
This guy needs to run for president. I know everything he's saying is bullshit, yet I'm still inclined to try.
Everything he says in bullshit? Then he'd make a fantastic President!
David Mejía le epic upvotes good gentlesir bacon!!! XD
zRoyland "It's called 'electrical tape' because it conducts electricity."
Oh yeah. Sure it does.
Is this whole video a joke?
Matthew Bradley I wonder why I don't get shocked when I do service upgrades?
The tape I use must be the non-electrical tape........what a dumb ass.
I stoped wacthing at that line.
+Sega Dream yeah it's actually called insulation tape.... I've seen that on 2 different videos now. crazy
This is one of the most lucid, succinct and useful things I have watched in a long time. Whoever produced this deserves to live forever. Seriously.
Charging now my AAAA battery for ny surface pro pen, hopefully this works. Or I'll end up ordering.
@arisventura I am trying this out on my A23 battery for my garage door opener! I'm using a AAA battery so it's not the same size....but hopefully it still works. Learning about the lemon juice was a cool thing too.
@noneofyourbusiness47 I totally agree this was such a wonderful video to find. I wish TV was more like this.
There is another way to recharge batteries, though it takes longer. Take the battery you wish to recharge and tape the positive end (with conductive electrical tape) to the small opening of a funnel. Then set it upright so the large end of the funnel is pointing towards the Sun. Not only will the sunlight affect a recharge, but the heat generated will aid in the process. Thanks for your great channel Mark, and glad to contribute.
Cant i just set it on fire to make it faster? I have a lighter and lighter fluid but im afrfeaid it will explode :/

It's called electrical tape because it is used to seal electrical connections and it is does not conduct electricity making it great for the job.
+Nymeria Meliae
You cannot get a shock from electrical tape, it does not conduct electricity. Secondly, do you realize how many batteries you would have to tape together to actually get a shock? Quite a few.
Im sorry I hurt
It's funny how many people think they're smart for pointing out how electric tape doesn't conduct electricity.
Wait... you mean it doesn't?
No, it does. Cunning is just trolling. Ignore him.
I don't know who to believe
Eddie Strike lmao
lol just search in google
google never trolls u
Excellent and informative video. I've also discovered that you can lower the impedance through the application of increased thickness of electrical tape to 1.5mm between the cathode and anode. This serves two purposes: 1. It minimizes recharging time and 2: initiates a reallignment of positive electrons on the cathode.

Why do prepubescent kids on youtube feel the need to tell their age to everyone?
TechnoCF no fucking shit
Yeah, we know. we all watched the video. Yeah, that part was funny. as were all the other parts
These videos have helped me solve everyday problems like, driving without gas and learning languages in 30 minutes.
Redditor with 194 IQ here,
This would be great advice if it were the 80's. But it's not, it's 2014, and all you need in 2014 is a computer to browse dank memes on reddit, and they do not use batteries!
Still, I appreciate teaching the masses SCIENCE rather than religious bullshit like most youtube videos do, and it also reminds me of the 80's when society was better with better music. So i still tip my fedora, but i hope you take my advice and make sure the next video is about something important, like bitcoins.

I don't know what I feel most sad about? That you try so fucking hard to troll that it makes me cringe or that you make fun of a website that you obviously use a lot. Especially the last part really makes me wonder what you try to gain from being so fucking stupid?
StandStrong Dude just don't reply, right now this little kid is sitting at home laughing at the effort you made just call him out, he won't reply because he's to busy being an actual Brony on his real youtube account, just like you said he has to use reddit enough to check these videos out, that's what you do when you don't have any social life

Its a troll video, you should've known from the time he said electrical tape can conduct electricity, when it actually can't because its rubber...
MazdaBass971 Every good ESD protection mat consists of an underside of conductive rubber...
I have one on my bench, zero ohms, works like a charm. (Just to correct that rubber statement... of course the purpose of electrical tape is to insulate)
Lol, nice try corporate battery company shill.

EVEN HERE?
"it's called electrical tape because it conducts electricity" I cracked up at that point
It's the best line in the whole video!
Same
15 years later still the best life hack video I’ve ever seen.
it's been 9 years since this guy posted...wish he was here now delivering fresh content.
I've found this works much better if the batteries are held in place vertically, with the charged batteries on top, and the depleted batteries below. The electrons flow much better with gravity assist. Also, through many tests this past year, I've found that batteries from the same manufacturer charge approximately 14% more fully than if you use batteries from different manufacturers. Charged Duracell (cD) going into depleted Eveready (dE) loses even more capacity. Rayovac don't seem to charge either of the other two very well, so I've excluded them from my tests.
Various combos are thus:
cD to dD gives 14.4% more charge than cE to dD
cE to cE gives 13.7% more charge than cE to dD
Hope this helps.
Yes, I also have found that this to be true. However, I have gotten slightly better than your 14% from batteries of the same brand.
Wut.
Dimi Drake i cant tell if this video is a joke or if this is an actual method
It's true what he says. Electrons take the path of least resistance, like water. The only reason it doesn't freely flow out of your home's electrical outlets is because of the wonderful invention in 1918, the Electrical Flow Independence Valve, or EFIV, which changed everything and made electricity in modern homes possible. Without that device, you'd have puddles of electrons all over your floors and shag carpet.

Huh? Electrical tape does not conduct electricity. The standard black vinyl tape shown in this video at 1:08 is not conductive.
haha ya thats true wtf is he thinking xD

I still can't believe how great this worked. My drill battery, several AA and AAA batteries, and my camera battery work great again! This is super fun to do too.
I love the videos with millions of views cuz that just means there were people honestly searching this and took it serious
This and Dane Boe were pretty popular back in the day. Big youtube channels were almost exclusively comedy, and light satire, especially TV parodies, were very common. Most people who watched this didn't search for it but saw it recommended, or were sent it
That said, lots believed it
It's called electrical tape because it insulates, not conducts.
how funny was that? "it's called electrical tape because it conducts electricity" hahaha...hohoho...hehehe...

Guys, if you don't like a comment, vote it down. Save the spam flag for actual spam. Misuse the spam reporter and it just takes them longer to get to the actual spam.
This works with lead acid batteries too, a 100ah lead acid battery is equivalent to about 100 AA batteries. A neat trick is to use your car battery to charge a bunch of AA's. I made a jig so it's easier to connect them and I just have a single crocodile clip that goes to the car battery. You want to do at least 10 at a time though. When I tried just one there was too much energy dumping in it at same time and it blew up, there was alkaline acid all over the place.
15y later and this saved me
Thanks to this video I've almost payed off my mortgage. Because it is easier to find sales on C batteries I buy in bulk and stockpile in order to recharge depleted AA batteries. Since more devices use AA batteries they are naturally more valuable than unwanted C batteries. I'm selling the recharged AA batteries on ebay and reinvesting 50% of the profits into procuring C batteries. Only a couple more months before i'm debt free, thanks so much infinite solutions!

Thanks, Mark Erikson! Great channel.
Can we get a disclaimer warning on this video about the chance of electrocution from handling the electric tape? The number of electric-tape related deaths every year, while negligible compared to shark attacks and lightning strikes, are still worrisome.
I asked Google about electrical tape related deaths each year...this post was second below a hazing incident...I think we're good! 😝

Wow ! I am watching a 15 years old video😄👏👏
What is this dude’s deal? He drops 13 wildly successful videos in 2007 then disappears. Did he die?
It's called electrical tape because it conducts electricity. ThioJoe said that too
yeah- is this video some kind of Onion news style satire- or was that the only blooper? It was a pretty stong WTF blast
Electrical tape as Mark said it conducts electricity is a incorrect statement. It is also known as insulating tape and that is what it does. It does not conduct. It is used to prevent open wires and such from causing a fire or shock.
+Dan M Just making sure that you know that this whole video is literally a joke. This doesnt work at all.
For someone who does not know better may hurt them self. Just sayin.
I’ve searched this up, but it may be in everyone’s recommendations soon.
"It's called electrical tape because it conducts electricity."
That was enough for me! So all the times I've spliced wires together and secured with electrical tape, I should have been electrocuted? :)
Sorry, found this video suggested from other SERIOUS videos about batteries, etc. I was wondering why someone would put such high production values into such patent nonsense. Now I'm busy enjoying all their other great nonsense!
***** he never said live
***** who splices live wires?
You can just put them in the microwave. One minute per volt rating on the battery. So two AA batteries would be three minutes. To save electricity and make the process more efficient, you can just save them up until you have enough to fill the microwave.
to make it even faster , tape .22 to each AA , 9mm to C , 30cal to 9V. and make sure that mother in law is watching while u go get the beer .
THAT made my day!....Good one!
allegedlytrue same is what you tell to someone who's asking for 4oz of compression .
Now that is funny
We're gonna need a bigger microwave... /: o
14 years ago but this is still some useful stuff
did I just stumble across a life changing channel?
Electrical Tape CONDUCTS Electricity?
It was a joke, though a subtle one.
Wow. This works amazingly well. Thanks!
This solution cured my dead battery problem and my restless leg syndrome.
I could see people buying into this, even when he mentions the electric tape conducts electricity 🤣
but I lost it when he was holding that contraption of the 9 volt batteries and the D batteries 🤣🤣🤣
