This guy is toast. I used to own a body shop with a junkyard and I repaired radiators when I was in my mid 20's. I started going to radiator repair clinics and noticed all the old timers had various neurological tics, blinks and shakes. I had my lead tested and it was off the charts! I cut up my repair tank and had chelation therapy to get the lead out and later had my mercury fillings replaced with composite. I'm 74 now and still work long hours in my own small business with a great memory and am very healthy. Folks, don't breath lead, plastic and sulfuric acid fumes !!!
@@АндрейАндреев-с9б1щ I understand that and I wish I could help him and all those like him. My comment was a warning to those who could find another way to make enough to eat...
There is a lot of craftsmanship involved because batteries are not designed to be refurbished. You have to intimately understand how it actually works and how it's manufactured in order to do something like this.
Notice that the number of plates removed from the battery is far higher than the number of plates he's putting back in and just uses padding on both ends of the stack of plates to take up the extra space... He's basically making a new battery, yes, but it's a new battery that's that's smaller in capacity than the original one would have been.
And maybe that's what people want to pay for. As long as it's not dishonest, then I have no problem with that. And obviously it has to be the same voltage - but I think that's what each section of the casing is for. When labor is essentially free, the economics change drastically.
@@zachansen8293 Yes, each section is a cell. One set of plates with a separator creates a cell, but putting more alternating plates in there creates more cells in parallel as well as with the adjacent plates. The left and the right hand tabs are essentially in parallel, electrically speaking. Six cells at 2 volts nominal each, and in series, results in the nominal 12V.
The number of plates he's putting back in is likely lower because he's already sorted out which anode and cathode plates are still salvageable and which were beyond repair or reuse. Not all of the plates are reusable. One may use plates from multiple batteries to get one single battery that's somewhat in good shape, using just the plates that are still in good shape.
@@AnnaVannieuwenhuyse You'd think you would just salvage some from other batteries to make a smaller number of good ones instead of making a bunch of worse ones. But maybe that's what demand is for.

Never in my life have I seen or heard of a battery being rebuilt. Extremely toxic process involved there coming in contact with lead and burning plastic but the skill and innovation is fascinating. I take my hat off to this gentleman and anyone else around the world keeping the wheels turning in their society.
Last I heard -- although the info is YEARS out of date now, if not decades -- Bangladesh was the place to go for battery rebuilding. You wonder where your recycled Duracells and Die-Hards go? You're looking at it. Like it or not, this is what that core charge at Advance Auto buys you. Love it or hate it -- the companies that did it don't care. It was cheap for them and that's what they think matters. Welcome to the modern world. I'm not here to peddle a better way. I don't have one of those today. But this is the life of those who make possible the lives of those of us in the cushy parts of the world. This is how the other half lives... oh, and it's a lot more than half nowadays. By the way, if you want to know where your electronics go... that would be Guiyu, China, for the most part. Technically illegal for decades now... nobody cares. The boats will come as long as there are people still alive and willing to work. When you think about it, we live in a utopia. I live in America. For my specific county in my specific state, median income was a bit over $45k in 2020. The per capita income of Bangladesh as a country was the equivalent of $2227 for 2020. Both of those figures are in 2020 US Dollars; in 2022 US Dollars, that's almost $43k where I live and roughly $2383 in Bangladesh. Say what you want about the US government -- and there's plenty to say, wherever you lay on the political spectrum, let's be honest -- but most of our civil issues don't have to deal with things like minor municipalities not having any running water at all and thus every family in that entire village (we'd say small town) having to walk for multiple hours every day to get water -- the luxury of something like a bicycle, let alone any sort of motorized vehicle, being distinctly aspirational for most folks at that economic level -- and having kerosene fires routinely burning down their dwellings because that's how they heat, cook, and light the place; it's all they can get -- the electrical grid in most poorer countries is, let's face it, not the sturdiest even in the larger cities, and it simply doesn't exist outside of them. There's no money for that kind of infrastructure. This is how you get your Starbucks Shangri-La. This is the price of utopia. I wish I had better news to give you. I wish I had a happier answer to provide. I wish this story had a happier ending. Sadly, life is not a Disney movie... to paraphrase an actor , and character, far better than I -- welcome to the scrapyard of the real.

Onto another topic then: Anyone who worked in any factory that is fixing anything knows how the world works, a lot of people know where the so called unusable by the west parts go. The problem is that nobody in the west wants to agree that this is happening otherwise our moral preaching about reducing emisions, waste and so on would collapse like a house of cards.

You would have to stretch the ban definition hard to get me out for the use of it in way that is not directed at any person to begin with but at toxic mix of chermical material. You get offended on behalf of a toxic sludge? Also what you wrote - even though i fully understand and hope you did not meant like that - sounded like a vailed threat?

Делал такую работу в детстве когда летом во время школьных каникул работал в колхозе (мне тогда было 14 лет). Ничего сверхъестественное. Конечно тогда сами аккумуляторы небыли такие красивые, но было очень легко разбирать и собрать.
бесполезная работа. если свинцово кислотный аккум сел, больше нет смысла его восстанавливать, он больше не будет держать заряд. только первое время и всё!
Хорошо когда зимы нет. У нас новый 3 года служит ,на 4год в минус 20 едва крутит ( хоть в тепле и показывает себя молодцом). Думаю такой восстановленный и недели зимы на Урале не выдержал бы. Хотя наблюдать очень интересно. Молодцы крутятся как могут
Have you had a battery smoke due to cold? It has been -10F (-20C ?) And the battery in my wife's Prado 120 smoked. I'm away from home and can't look at it
У нас раньше немец ремонтировал батареи в совхозе. Уехал в Германию какая у тебя профессия аккумуляторщик . что это батареи ак делал . наин такой профессии не бывает это вредно для здоровья🇰🇿
Проблема в том ЧТО аккумулятор получается из ДВУХ неисправных на это уходят (кажись) минусовые пластины а поскольку обмазка минусовых пластин не такая как у плюсовых то и мощность аккумулятора почти в два раза ниже ЭТО знает любой аккумуляторщик.
The real art of repairing things. My deepest respect to this man. I lived in India for some time, love it dearly and adore its nice people. Great job done, a real JUGAAD at its best. Regards!
Actually, this is in Pakistan. You can tell from the dress style, urdu writing, phone numbers car license plates etc. Not that in India "informal" i.e. Not under pollution regulations, does not take place. There are large unauthorized recyclers, about a 1000, in India that smelt the lead at low cost because of hoodwinking of pollution standards, but the lead supply chain then goes into battery manufacturers plants. Once you have the lead, manufacturing can be done on a large scale with semiautomation with much better efficiency and low cost. Sitting on the sidewalk and poring melted lead by hand and plastic welding by lighting the plastic on fire is inefficient, although requiring high degree of skill and necessary when you don't have alternatives. Pakistani people show the same jugaad as Indian people, but most of the fruit of their sweat is skimmed off by the Army and extraordinarily corrupt polity, even by south asian standards.
Indian bro, if you have kept your political rhetoric aside in this video of entirely different genre. It would have been much better. Porus chan-nee can't accuse lota for a hole.
I have no clue why this ended up in my recommended feed, but the repurposing of the lead oxide sheets to stabilize the whole battery assembly is clearly genius!
Просвети в чем смысл манипуляций? На сколько я понимаю аккумулятор подыхает когда сыпется свинец с пластин он в оксид превращается. (чёт там не оксид а какая-то муть получается точно не помню). По сути надо плавить свинец восстанавливать его чистоту и формовать обратно на пластины, но так как в аккумуляторе высоко пористый свинец, процедура вообще смысла не имеет! Что он сделал то? Ну максимум поднял ток отдачи на какое-то время (ну так можно было просто промыть его и электролит поменять). Ну возможно чистый сепаратор уменьшит нагрев , ток утечки и снизит внутреннее сопротивление. Но на старых пластинах, на сколько этого эффекта? На 2 месяца? Что он делает то в итоге?
@@Staflain если приглядеться то видно что пластины из старого аккумулятора пошли в дело не все, т.к. положительные пластины высыпались при разборке (катод). Поэтому он собирает грубо говоря один аккумулято из двух.

many things in life are simple. But if you want to be done in safe way, that would make things complicated. Like pouring Acid from a water jug and boiling lead in a wok.

Lead acid batteries are (ignoring the plastic housing and paper separators) basically 100% recyclable. Wish the same could be said for all battery technology.
@@phillyd2018 In terms of energy density, yes, but it's bad engineering to dismiss them solely on that. LiPo batteries cannot compete in terms of current output. Not only that but lead acid charge/discharge characteristics are very forgiving, they won't blink at a dead short. Also, Lead acid likes to be stored at 100% charge, meaning they are ready to go when you need them. Try that with LiPo and you'll be doing damage to them.
Excellent work although I worry that all of this lead, acid and plastic fumes exposure is taking toll on this man's health. I hope he stays safe and healthy.
In the 1960s we did similar in the RAF. Fortunately I only helped with a few, so lead exposure was limited. I must say though I admire these hard working men. They do what they do to put food on the table.

@@nadlug9199 the vast majority of “recycled” stuff just gets shipped to china & stuffed into a landfill & the American government is so generous with our money there’s millions in kickbacks leftover for those same politicians
Practically 100% of car/truck batteries get recycled. They’re a notable exception to the “ship it all to poor countries” of most recycling. In wealthy countries the recycling is performed very differently (via shredding and then separating the materials by flotation), but it’s done because a) the lead is so easy to recycle b) car batteries are expensive to ship because of their weight, and c) they’re not allowed in landfill or incinerators due to the lead.
Not amazing at all as it was mentioned this make huge harm to environmelt as all the servis and spill vill be washed to soil or river with first rain. Not mentioning danger for the person himself.

Enjoyed watching this thanks for sharing. Carl-UK👍
In the West, car batteries are made in a closed loop manufacturing process and almost all of a scrap battery, including the case, is re-used to make new batteries.
Besides the health concerns -- how good are the remanufactured batteries? I have somewhere in the back of my mind the idea that "dead" batteries are bad because both the anode and the cathode have changed into lead sulphate. What does it take to reverse that change?
You can't really reverse it. It's a chemical change. Soft of like burning wood and it turning into ash. All you can do really is scoop it out and replace it. It's really simple if it wasn't for all the lead.
This battery wallah is tops. Every locale on this planet needs such innovative individuals to operate in this way. From boot makers to computer repairs. We all have to become local self sustaining communities. Great vid. 👍
What's wrong with recycling centers, and rebuilding new ones in facilities where employees don't have to be exposed to acids, heavy metals and dangerous fumes? I think you have it backwards. It's better for people to get out of poverty, than to admire how poverty makes ends meet. This is what people are trying to escape.

Great example of real recycling. I do hope though as his business picks up that he will look into and invest into some good safety gear and procedures. Dish gloves, as those appear to be, aren't rated for acid. I wonder how many chemical burns he's endured. Also, he works so close to the fumes of the job. It won't take long for metals and fumes to take their toll. Then there's the spilling of old battery contents on the ground, which over time will have a detrimental effect on the area. I applaud the guys ingenuity and expertise. I also feel bad for him and the surrounding area because of the long term toll doing things that way will take on him and others. We here in supposedly advanced countries have learned from the pain and suffering of others that safety requirements and standards are needed. It looks like he's an entrepreneur and not an employee, so if anybody knows him, maybe help him to find online the meds sheets for the chemicals and metals he's working with. It's wouldn't take much to get acid rated gloves and some sort of respiratory gear. Also, he may get some energy savings if he enclosed the burner with bricks. I would hate for us to applaud him and in not too long he starts to feel the effects of metal poisoning or have organ damage from absorbing toxic metals and chemicals over time.
Exactly what I was thinking. I was cringing very hard when he was cleaning the old battery waste and washing it with water on the ground. It must be disposed properly as it can slowly seep into ground reservoirs and potable drinking areas. I also applaud his work though. I would recommend wearing protective gear when he was soldering, especially considering lead fumes can have a serious detrimental effect to your health with respirated.

This is how may father use to make batteries 20 years back, usually we use to prepare 2 batteries per day, nowdays very less peoples involved in preparation recondition Battery process, Happy to remember those days by seeing him. Thanks
While a primitive approach doing it all by hand...they are getting the most out of their resources and keeping things out of the landfill as long as possible. Good job!
He doesn't give a hoot about any landfill. The return on selling that is a lot more than the material he put in and his time, as sad as that is. Pompous westerners man.
When I was a kid growing up in Puerto Rico in the mid-80's there was a guy that used to this. You would take your no longer working battery to him, and he would open it up like this gentleman did and put it back to like new condition. It was cheaper than buying a new battery, that was for sure 🙂
Looking at what he did, he turned a 150Ah battery into a 85Ah battery, its a bit of a scam really. Better of buying new. Cannot doubt his work is good though.
@@fountainofspeech1379 Look carefully, the plates are slightly smaller than the originals and there are less of them. @7:01 Look how he packs both outer sides with a large amount of insulation rather than using lead plates. The battery results in less capacity because of the overall less surface area by using smaller & less amount lead plates & more insulation.

This guy is an old world master craftsmen...he is so talented..oh my God !!!!....this world needs many many more like him..he is the battery God!!!! I'll bet his talents don't end there!!!!
Well..... 1) The battery terminals (which were lead) were replaced with solid solder which can contain lead, but is now-a-days lead-free and mostly tin. It will be too soft to maintain a good physical friction-based connection as is done w/ most terminal leads with the bolt that you tighten. Yes, it'll work at first, but quickly develop pitting and a loose connection. 2) The only restoration I saw was in replacing the separators, which would rid the battery of dendrites and floating contamination, but that's it. Sulfur buildup on the on plates would remain. Maybe they just didn't show this part, I am not sure. The overall process was very fun to see -- definitely a practice they've done many, many times. Overall, if I were to get a lead acid battery restored in India, this is about what I'd expect, but it's a long way from 'like-new.'
"with solid solder which can contain lead, but is now-a-days lead-free and mostly tin" Maybe in western countries, but where ever this man is (Sri lanka?), its clearly 20% tin 80% lead solder. In fact, you can buy them in the US as bars. Its just not common, and not used in commercial electronics due to regulations.
@@RS-ub3we Not sure how it's clearly 20/80 tin/lead, but let's assume it is. There's in principle three reasons I say it will have connectivity issues. 1) When he takes the original terminals off [ 0:19 ], you can see he's used a non-blunt point, and a hammer. Even with that, it wasn't easy. Fast forward to [ 7:42 ] when he is cutting the connecting leads, he's using a sharpened set of scissors, but he's able to cut it by hand. ^^ It's subjective, but which one looks softer to you? Perhaps the original was just a different (stronger) alloy. 2) He solders the connections using another 12v battery [ see 6:33 ]. If you've messed with Lead acid cells before, accidents happen, and shorting a fully charged battery will arc enough to slightly melt the terminal, but nothing like you see here [ 8:26 ]. 3) Lastly, and this one is anecdotal, but I've used leaded solder most my life, and while it is stronger than unleaded, it's not even close to that of a original battery terminal... granted I've mostly used 40/60 tin/lead, but still...
I've spent a lot of time in the Philippines, you see a lot of the same ingenuity and resourcefullness there. When you're dirt poor nothing gets thrown away, everything can be reused somehow.
Вспоминаю себя в детстве! Раньше валялись аккумуляторы прям на улице, а сколько кислоты вылили от баловства, ломали их кирпичном доставали эти пластины, отбивали палками и переплавляли в битки! И также ни очков но и перчаток небыло, и как никто не пострадал даже представить не могу!)))

Unfortunately this sort of reclamation is seriously dangerous to the worker’s health in terms of potential lead poisoning and inhalation of acid fumes. They appear to take few precautions against these risks……with the exception of one rubber glove. These risks are also affecting any passing pedestrians. “A” for effort, but “Z” for SAFETY.
The air that he is breathing there in the city center is arguably even worse than anything coming from this chemical waste. Without exaggeration - if you never experienced it there, your unprepared airways will literally tingle and burn.
The sulphuric acid will quickly dehydrate and corrode the gloves he's wearing, the heat generated will likely cause worse burns than if he wore no gloves at all. The worst part is that the process of extracting the plates produces lots of small pieces and particles of the plate alloy which includes additives like arsenic, antimony and other elements to enhance the properties of the plate, when it dries it produces a dust that clings to the skin and clothes and he'll bring that poison home with him transferring it to whoever comes in contact with him. This is an image of the ingenuity that poverty creates.
Pure art at work. Gotta love this guy. I wish he gets a ton of money doing this by talent. Make a company somewhere, and sell the scrap to recyclers that can not be used abroad or domestic. Win Win all the way! Love it.
This video is from Pakistan. It is a country of small shopkeepers. Most importantly they don't allow giant companies to dominate all of the market which allows small businesses to furnish at fast pace.
Very interesting to see this done. One slight slip could be catastrophic since he has almost no protective equipment. The toxic fumes are ridiculous. I hope he survives and moves into a healthier career,
@@ThaFlyingDutchMen Handling and melting lead is toxic, especially to young men wanting to start a family. Causes a lot of birth defects and other problems. Melting plastic also.
I used to work for a family-owned battery store in the U.S. that would refurbish batteries. Changing the acid, cycle-charging, and a couple other tricks could give most another six months or so but we never rebuilt them like this. This is nuts and would probably violate some environmental and safety laws in the U.S. I hope this guy is OK. Bad enough he keeps taking one of his gloves off but the complete lack of face protection means he is inhaling a lot of metals and harmful chemicals and any number of things could ruin his eyes. All it would take is a splash of that molten metal, or a sliver of the hardened metal shooting off while he cuts, saws, or otherwise manhandles it.
I can't imagine the consequences. I had rashes on a large part of my skin, just after a few months of working with a photo developer in a printer (in the EU), and I had all the protective equipment.

This guy is toast. I used to own a body shop with a junkyard and I repaired radiators when I was in my mid 20's. I started going to radiator repair clinics and noticed all the old timers had various neurological tics, blinks and shakes. I had my lead tested and it was off the charts! I cut up my repair tank and had chelation therapy to get the lead out and later had my mercury fillings replaced with composite. I'm 74 now and still work long hours in my own small business with a great memory and am very healthy. Folks, don't breath lead, plastic and sulfuric acid fumes !!!

Indeed
@@Kr00zA This is Pakistan

There is a lot of craftsmanship involved because batteries are not designed to be refurbished. You have to intimately understand how it actually works and how it's manufactured in order to do something like this.
Notice that the number of plates removed from the battery is far higher than the number of plates he's putting back in and just uses padding on both ends of the stack of plates to take up the extra space...
He's basically making a new battery, yes, but it's a new battery that's that's smaller in capacity than the original one would have been.
And maybe that's what people want to pay for. As long as it's not dishonest, then I have no problem with that. And obviously it has to be the same voltage - but I think that's what each section of the casing is for.
When labor is essentially free, the economics change drastically.
@@zachansen8293 Yes, each section is a cell. One set of plates with a separator creates a cell, but putting more alternating plates in there creates more cells in parallel as well as with the adjacent plates. The left and the right hand tabs are essentially in parallel, electrically speaking. Six cells at 2 volts nominal each, and in series, results in the nominal 12V.
The number of plates he's putting back in is likely lower because he's already sorted out which anode and cathode plates are still salvageable and which were beyond repair or reuse. Not all of the plates are reusable. One may use plates from multiple batteries to get one single battery that's somewhat in good shape, using just the plates that are still in good shape.
@@AnnaVannieuwenhuyse You'd think you would just salvage some from other batteries to make a smaller number of good ones instead of making a bunch of worse ones. But maybe that's what demand is for.

Never in my life have I seen or heard of a battery being rebuilt. Extremely toxic process involved there coming in contact with lead and burning plastic but the skill and innovation is fascinating. I take my hat off to this gentleman and anyone else around the world keeping the wheels turning in their society.
Last I heard -- although the info is YEARS out of date now, if not decades -- Bangladesh was the place to go for battery rebuilding. You wonder where your recycled Duracells and Die-Hards go? You're looking at it. Like it or not, this is what that core charge at Advance Auto buys you. Love it or hate it -- the companies that did it don't care. It was cheap for them and that's what they think matters.
Welcome to the modern world. I'm not here to peddle a better way. I don't have one of those today. But this is the life of those who make possible the lives of those of us in the cushy parts of the world. This is how the other half lives... oh, and it's a lot more than half nowadays. By the way, if you want to know where your electronics go... that would be Guiyu, China, for the most part. Technically illegal for decades now... nobody cares. The boats will come as long as there are people still alive and willing to work.
When you think about it, we live in a utopia. I live in America. For my specific county in my specific state, median income was a bit over $45k in 2020. The per capita income of Bangladesh as a country was the equivalent of $2227 for 2020. Both of those figures are in 2020 US Dollars; in 2022 US Dollars, that's almost $43k where I live and roughly $2383 in Bangladesh. Say what you want about the US government -- and there's plenty to say, wherever you lay on the political spectrum, let's be honest -- but most of our civil issues don't have to deal with things like minor municipalities not having any running water at all and thus every family in that entire village (we'd say small town) having to walk for multiple hours every day to get water -- the luxury of something like a bicycle, let alone any sort of motorized vehicle, being distinctly aspirational for most folks at that economic level -- and having kerosene fires routinely burning down their dwellings because that's how they heat, cook, and light the place; it's all they can get -- the electrical grid in most poorer countries is, let's face it, not the sturdiest even in the larger cities, and it simply doesn't exist outside of them. There's no money for that kind of infrastructure.
This is how you get your Starbucks Shangri-La. This is the price of utopia.

Two, what is allowed in the videos is different from what's in the comments.
Three, most of us in the West, particularly in America, tend to be a bit ignorant of stuff like this. I'm in an odd position, I've "fallen through the cracks" -- so to speak -- in my own country, abs I live in poverty now, but this is after getting a decent education and having experienced other cultures in other countries. I just never got the opportunity to do anything with what I had; as soon as I got it, my world fell apart and now I'm a very different person with a very different life.
Four, I'm genuinely sorry to hear that you live in such a difficult country. Just because we live so well, doesn't mean you should not. Probably there should be some sort of middling-out... sad to say, enough of us are too comfy and it will never happen while countries like mine remain as they are, but perhaps someday... remember the phrase: "all things end". For better or worse, there are no exceptions.

Actually, this is in Pakistan. You can tell from the dress style, urdu writing, phone numbers car license plates etc. Not that in India "informal" i.e. Not under pollution regulations, does not take place. There are large unauthorized recyclers, about a 1000, in India that smelt the lead at low cost because of hoodwinking of pollution standards, but the lead supply chain then goes into battery manufacturers plants. Once you have the lead, manufacturing can be done on a large scale with semiautomation with much better efficiency and low cost. Sitting on the sidewalk and poring melted lead by hand and plastic welding by lighting the plastic on fire is inefficient, although requiring high degree of skill and necessary when you don't have alternatives. Pakistani people show the same jugaad as Indian people, but most of the fruit of their sweat is skimmed off by the Army and extraordinarily corrupt polity, even by south asian standards.

Просвети в чем смысл манипуляций? На сколько я понимаю аккумулятор подыхает когда сыпется свинец с пластин он в оксид превращается. (чёт там не оксид а какая-то муть получается точно не помню). По сути надо плавить свинец восстанавливать его чистоту и формовать обратно на пластины, но так как в аккумуляторе высоко пористый свинец, процедура вообще смысла не имеет! Что он сделал то? Ну максимум поднял ток отдачи на какое-то время (ну так можно было просто промыть его и электролит поменять). Ну возможно чистый сепаратор уменьшит нагрев , ток утечки и снизит внутреннее сопротивление. Но на старых пластинах, на сколько этого эффекта? На 2 месяца? Что он делает то в итоге?

One thing, very little goes to waste unlike in more affluent countries. Thank you for the very informative video. I was well-edited and compelling to watch.
In Germany swapping a part is always cheaper as restoring it because the parts come from China where labor is 1/100 of labor costs in Germany.
Someone put a lot of thought into how to recondition those batteries, amazing what can be achieved with basic tools and a skilled hand and mind....
many things in life are simple. But if you want to be done in safe way, that would make things complicated. Like pouring Acid from a water jug and boiling lead in a wok.

Lead acid batteries are (ignoring the plastic housing and paper separators) basically 100% recyclable. Wish the same could be said for all battery technology.
Lead acid is inferior to lithium ion. Can't even compare
@@phillyd2018 the only place they lose out is upfront costs and, as demonstrated above, user serviceability :)
@@phillyd2018 So why don't we use Li-Ion in cars and just everywhere? Because Li-Ion has pros and cons about it. Same as Ni-Cd batteries.
@@CitarNosis317 li-ion has less cranking amps I think mainly.
@@phillyd2018 In terms of energy density, yes, but it's bad engineering to dismiss them solely on that. LiPo batteries cannot compete in terms of current output. Not only that but lead acid charge/discharge characteristics are very forgiving, they won't blink at a dead short. Also, Lead acid likes to be stored at 100% charge, meaning they are ready to go when you need them. Try that with LiPo and you'll be doing damage to them.
Excellent work although I worry that all of this lead, acid and plastic fumes exposure is taking toll on this man's health. I hope he stays safe and healthy.

Recycling isn’t the same as refurbishment.

@@nadlug9199 the vast majority of “recycled” stuff just gets shipped to china & stuffed into a landfill & the American government is so generous with our money there’s millions in kickbacks leftover for those same politicians
Practically 100% of car/truck batteries get recycled. They’re a notable exception to the “ship it all to poor countries” of most recycling. In wealthy countries the recycling is performed very differently (via shredding and then separating the materials by flotation), but it’s done because a) the lead is so easy to recycle b) car batteries are expensive to ship because of their weight, and c) they’re not allowed in landfill or incinerators due to the lead.
Not amazing at all as it was mentioned this make huge harm to environmelt as all the servis and spill vill be washed to soil or river with first rain. Not mentioning danger for the person himself. And Im doubfull that acid and derbis washed from old battery is properly handled and destroyed. I understand its simply done because of needs but it is great example how it must not be done.

Enjoyed watching this thanks for sharing. Carl-UK👍
He's also saving the atmosphere from most of the pollution generated by melting the plastic and metal by using his lungs to filter it out.
In the West, car batteries are made in a closed loop manufacturing process and almost all of a scrap battery, including the case, is re-used to make new batteries.
He ain't saving anything. Look at this mess, lead everywhere--this would be a hazmat site after a few years in the West.

Besides the health concerns -- how good are the remanufactured batteries? I have somewhere in the back of my mind the idea that "dead" batteries are bad because both the anode and the cathode have changed into lead sulphate. What does it take to reverse that change?
You can't really reverse it. It's a chemical change. Soft of like burning wood and it turning into ash. All you can do really is scoop it out and replace it. It's really simple if it wasn't for all the lead.
This battery wallah is tops. Every locale on this planet needs such innovative individuals to operate in this way. From boot makers to computer repairs. We all have to become local self sustaining communities.

What's wrong with recycling centers, and rebuilding new ones in facilities where employees don't have to be exposed to acids, heavy metals and dangerous fumes?

Great example of real recycling. I do hope though as his business picks up that he will look into and invest into some good safety gear and procedures.
Dish gloves, as those appear to be, aren't rated for acid. I wonder how many chemical burns he's endured. Also, he works so close to the fumes of the job. It won't take long for metals and fumes to take their toll. Then there's the spilling of old battery contents on the ground, which over time will have a detrimental effect on the area.
I applaud the guys ingenuity and expertise. I also feel bad for him and the surrounding area because of the long term toll doing things that way will take on him and others.
We here in supposedly advanced countries have learned from the pain and suffering of others that safety requirements and standards are needed. It looks like he's an entrepreneur and not an employee, so if anybody knows him, maybe help him to find online the meds sheets for the chemicals and metals he's working with. It's wouldn't take much to get acid rated gloves and some sort of respiratory gear. Also, he may get some energy savings if he enclosed the burner with bricks.
I would hate for us to applaud him and in not too long he starts to feel the effects of metal poisoning or have organ damage from absorbing toxic metals and chemicals over time.

@@paulbackhard6315 This is the reality.
Exactly what I was thinking. I was cringing very hard when he was cleaning the old battery waste and washing it with water on the ground. It must be disposed properly as it can slowly seep into ground reservoirs and potable drinking areas. I also applaud his work though. I would recommend wearing protective gear when he was soldering, especially considering lead fumes can have a serious detrimental effect to your health with respirated.

Well.....
1) The battery terminals (which were lead) were replaced with solid solder which can contain lead, but is now-a-days lead-free and mostly tin. It will be too soft to maintain a good physical friction-based connection as is done w/ most terminal leads with the bolt that you tighten. Yes, it'll work at first, but quickly develop pitting and a loose connection.
2) The only restoration I saw was in replacing the separators, which would rid the battery of dendrites and floating contamination, but that's it. Sulfur buildup on the on plates would remain. Maybe they just didn't show this part, I am not sure. The overall process was very fun to see -- definitely a practice they've done many, many times.
Overall, if I were to get a lead acid battery restored in India, this is about what I'd expect, but it's a long way from 'like-new.'
Yes.
"with solid solder which can contain lead, but is now-a-days lead-free and mostly tin"
Maybe in western countries, but where ever this man is (Sri lanka?), its clearly 20% tin 80% lead solder. In fact, you can buy them in the US as bars. Its just not common, and not used in commercial electronics due to regulations.
@@RS-ub3we Not sure how it's clearly 20/80 tin/lead, but let's assume it is. There's in principle three reasons I say it will have connectivity issues.
1) When he takes the original terminals off [ 0:19 ], you can see he's used a non-blunt point, and a hammer. Even with that, it wasn't easy.
Fast forward to [ 7:42 ] when he is cutting the connecting leads, he's using a sharpened set of scissors, but he's able to cut it by hand.
^^ It's subjective, but which one looks softer to you? Perhaps the original was just a different (stronger) alloy.
2) He solders the connections using another 12v battery [ see 6:33 ]. If you've messed with Lead acid cells before, accidents happen, and shorting a fully charged battery will arc enough to slightly melt the terminal, but nothing like you see here [ 8:26 ].
3) Lastly, and this one is anecdotal, but I've used leaded solder most my life, and while it is stronger than unleaded, it's not even close to that of a original battery terminal... granted I've mostly used 40/60 tin/lead, but still...
@@RS-ub3we dude, just listen to the guy.. He clearly knows what is he talking about.
That all may be true, but you have to admit that his mustache is regulation and up to par.
I've spent a lot of time in the Philippines, you see a lot of the same ingenuity and resourcefullness there. When you're dirt poor nothing gets thrown away, everything can be reused somehow.
Вспоминаю себя в детстве! Раньше валялись аккумуляторы прям на улице, а сколько кислоты вылили от баловства, ломали их кирпичном доставали эти пластины, отбивали палками и переплавляли в битки! И также ни очков но и перчаток небыло, и как никто не пострадал даже представить не могу!)))
Раньше аккумуляторы были разборный, банки меняли
@@Nik_13rus раньше гудрон битум был залит сверху в текстолитовую, или как там ее называли дымовушку, я написал не про то что было разборное или нет, мы ломали аккумуляторы из пластика белые были аккумуляторы от грузовиков.
@@Ramazanovich от того из какого материала сделан корпус, не меняет его содержимого, тот же свинец и раствор серной кислоты. Хотя сегодня есть какие-то геливые аккумуляторы, был у меня такой - замерз зимой...

У нас в России с недавних пор это теперь будет актуально
so shall it, in other places, sooner than later
Совершенно верно,коррупционеров и либерах ждёт вредная,тяжёлая и недолгая работа)))
У вас в России это давно актуально, как с авто маслами, так с аккумами, так с непонятными оригинальными запчастями, которые делают на мифическом заводе, приклеивая там крутые голограммы.
@@homelesdog1Ты сам то чьих будешь?Из гейропки с одноразовыми автомобилями?)))
ну это вряд ли, овчинка выделки не стоит. Проще старый сдать а новый купить.
Unfortunately this sort of reclamation is seriously dangerous to the worker’s health in terms of potential lead poisoning and inhalation of acid fumes. They appear to take few precautions against these risks……with the exception of one rubber glove. These risks are also affecting any passing pedestrians. “A” for effort, but “Z” for SAFETY.
The air that he is breathing there in the city center is arguably even worse than anything coming from this chemical waste.
Without exaggeration - if you never experienced it there, your unprepared airways will literally tingle and burn.
He looks like a right guy compared to exide american gangsters landfill led...in community aquifer
@@MetallicReg lead poisoning is 100% worse than pollution
@@CarsandChris You just don’t know the extent and the different ways of pollution there.
The sulphuric acid will quickly dehydrate and corrode the gloves he's wearing, the heat generated will likely cause worse burns than if he wore no gloves at all. The worst part is that the process of extracting the plates produces lots of small pieces and particles of the plate alloy which includes additives like arsenic, antimony and other elements to enhance the properties of the plate, when it dries it produces a dust that clings to the skin and clothes and he'll bring that poison home with him transferring it to whoever comes in contact with him. This is an image of the ingenuity that poverty creates.
well done brother, really enjoy seeing people with real life skills 👍 top video to watch
A post nuclear war, these guys would rebuild a city from bits of scrap metal, old tyres, an old computer. Truly masters of ingenuity.
Pure art at work. Gotta love this guy. I wish he gets a ton of money doing this by talent. Make a company somewhere, and sell the scrap to recyclers that can not be used abroad or domestic. Win Win all the way! Love it.
This video is from Pakistan. It is a country of small shopkeepers. Most importantly they don't allow giant companies to dominate all of the market which allows small businesses to furnish at fast pace.
This guy will get much better salary at a giant compamy believe me
Very interesting to see this done. One slight slip could be catastrophic since he has almost no protective equipment. The toxic fumes are ridiculous. I hope he survives and moves into a healthier career,
Какая карьера? Когда средняя зарплата в Индии меньше 150 $ в месяц? Там главное выжить. Хоть как. У меня, примерно 350$ в России. И это очень мало...
@@Рустам-хан I make about that in a day!
My 3 uncles each used to do the same in the 80's & 90's. Each had their own shop. But the fumes where very dangerous
Yeah, it's something to be done by older men.
Why
@@ThaFlyingDutchMen Handling and melting lead is toxic, especially to young men wanting to start a family. Causes a lot of birth defects and other problems. Melting plastic also.
Helps that this guy is doing it outside
@@TuneStunnaMusic Yes, it does. Glad he's not indoors.
Very interesting process, I’m a manufacturing guy and can appreciate the work that goes into this .
إنه إنسان كباقى البشر لكنه أبدع من فكره ما لم تهتم به الدول المصنعة. الحاجة أم الاختراع. برافو.
Удивительно и невероятно! Главное, что это восстановленный аккумулятор теперь будет работать как новый много лет!
не будет он работать
I used to work for a family-owned battery store in the U.S. that would refurbish batteries. Changing the acid, cycle-charging, and a couple other tricks could give most another six months or so but we never rebuilt them like this. This is nuts and would probably violate some environmental and safety laws in the U.S. I hope this guy is OK. Bad enough he keeps taking one of his gloves off but the complete lack of face protection means he is inhaling a lot of metals and harmful chemicals and any number of things could ruin his eyes. All it would take is a splash of that molten metal, or a sliver of the hardened metal shooting off while he cuts, saws, or otherwise manhandles it.
I can't imagine the consequences. I had rashes on a large part of my skin, just after a few months of working with a photo developer in a printer (in the EU), and I had all the protective equipment.
Dig a little deeper on this stuff and you'll see they force women to do this work ...you can see by this guy's speed he's not the one doing this every day
That "melted metal" looks like mercury VERY DANGEROUS IF AREN'T CAREFUL.
@@Johndada517 True which is why I think it's fucked up that there are people glorifying this in the comments. The health and environmental effects are massive...
FYI
That waste acid will be dumped into the street/rain water drain.
