    When I bought a motorcycle battery for my rebel a few years ago it had i think this exact pack to activate it. Great video! Sorry you were having trouble with the battery bank.

      Batteries going bad turned into a teachable moment for me...so it's all good : )

    Yup I agree with you, I have rejuvenated so many batteries by draining the old diluted acid and adding new acid!!

      @@GrumpyMountainMan FYI I’m 60, my great grandparents homesteaded in Idaho, and I remember my dad complaining in the 60’s on the utter ignorance/stupidity and amount of people flooding our area.
      Many cases of winter driving for the first time, killing locals. 😩🥲
      Fact: Some believe that putting snow tires on allows you to drive at normal speeds. I have heard this from more than one Cali transplant. 🤯

    Nice to see you back. If a battery is losing Hydrogen, its getting less acidic. Ionic hydrogen is acidity. I did my study, and have a chemistry degree. I also switched my own lead acids out to lithium, and have no regrets other than a sore wallet.

    • @GrumpyMountainMan
      @GrumpyMountainMan  3 года назад +3

      That's why I will just add acid. Lithium is too spendy for me.

    yes snake oil for sure! never add anything but distilled water.
    do you do equalizing charges? It will make a difference, helps stir things up inside.
    electrolyte will stratify.
    thanks, grump!

    Common sense people. Well I feel real welcome now I was told to go home. I hear what you are saying. Some people can be real asshats. But not all of us are. Some of us feel the same as you. There is a certain respect in being a good neighbor. Sorry you feel that way. We are in South Central Tennessee. You get much more tourists over your way. Have a good day.
