Man, I could not believe how amazing this fix worked! Awesome! Sure didnt want to spend $700 on 6 new 6v golf cart batteries. They were all aparently dry, voltage dropped down to 12-15 volts just on level ground, put water out of the hose in them all till they wafers were just covered and wham! back up to 39 volts and chipping along. Amazing. Didn't even have to charge them. I will go back to regular charging every few days. I only use it around the house, going to the mailbox 1/4 mile down the drive, and walking/trotting my dog. Thanks for awesome tip!
Battery Acid is 1/3 sulfuric acid and 2/3 DISTILLED water.tap water will work in a pinch, or may be OK on older batts near the end of their life but not recomended. BTW. I've worked at a professional battery shop for almost 3 years. So I feel its reasonably safe to call myself an expert on this subject.
A battery in that state should ideally be charged at 7.6v for several hours to equalize it. I had a massive 255ah 12v AGM battery that was in a pretty bad way. I put almost 2 liters of deionized water in it and let it sit at 16v for a few hours each day. It is now a cross between flooded and AGM which consumes hardly any water. The final step in bringing it back to almost original condition was adding two 6800uf capacitors to the solar panel input on my pwm solar controller which had 8 100w panels on it. This resulted in a direct drive desulfator that really worked wonders in a matter of months. Adding the capacitors in parallel with the solar panels gives the pulses more amps and it makes tazer noises now.
im sorry don't mean to be rude but you did not revive a battery you charged it and are using it in a different way then it was originally made for. sure it will power a small led light but im sure it will not maintain any amount of power if you tried pulling some major amps like it was used for originally.
I've been looking into reviving sealed lead acid batteries [mostly 12 volt 7 amp hour and 18 amp hour sizes] and I have used the same method as you to get some of their capacity back again but I didn't use the lab power supply as I don't have one. [I used a 20 volt 500ma plug pack and a LM317 regulator wired up as a current limiter. Have you checked what the self discharge is per week?
Nice Video clip! Sorry for butting in, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you ever tried - Lammywalness Trendy Trade Guide (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is a good one off guide for learning how to recondition batteries at home minus the headache. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my GF after a lifetime of fighting got astronomical results with it.
A few things I wanted to correct.. Most batteries (auto, deep cycle, gel) are NOT 90% water and 5-10% sulfuric acid. They are intact approx 70% to 30% sulfuric acid. Moreover, reason you use Distilled water and NOT - TAP water because of the minerals it contains, thus creating more sulfation and significantly reducing the life and capacity of the battery. 😉
I heard that you're supposed to zap it a few times at two or three times the voltage for very short periods to loosen up the sulfated plates and then charge it normally.
I understand. Its not easy to progress until you understand what you are doing and understanding what you have done, im still trying to get basic electronics down. I have down loaded a desulfator build plans, they were free with the understanding that you could donate to further research if you were happy with the plans and you wanted to donate, "free, for short". I could give you the address if you want. It has the full parts list and build steps, its made on perforated circuit board so its very easy. Its pretty much spoon fed plans so you should have no problems making it your self, even if you don't understand electronics. I plan on making one myself as well. It also gives detailed instructions on how to use it and results normally see and what to do when your having problems, might be worth checking it out on trouble shooting problems with desulfinators.
I found a very large battery washed up on my in-laws property from the creek. I was about to bring it home and see what I could do with it. It had like 8 caps on it if I remember right. When I tried taking one of the caps off with my fingers it turned to powder, I got one out and it had a very unusual screw type threading. Would you even mess with something like this that likely has creek water though it? I suspect this might be a 24v farm equipment battery.
yeah i prolly would mess with it just for fun. please take a picture and show me, or better yet a video!! i love finding stuff in the creek. i would love to see you get it home and see how much it can be fixed. then you could rip it appart or take it to a local auto store and trade it for a differant dead battery from the recycling skid.
this desulfator is just super weak and idk if it even works. had to resolder hald the components. and i dont really know what you mean by "equalization charge"
Rinoa Super-Genius i just checked and i basicly am equalizing it in this video. not counting i shake the batteries to let bubbles get through and that helps mix up the electrolyte.
Rinoa Super-Genius yeah I think its around 7.8v for 6v battery, its supposed to help remove sulfate but no idea if it work. Thanks again! I have the same desulfator which is been working on 2 deep cycle batteries in all winter, but I didn't test them before so I can't see if it worked :(
twistedline I have the same desulfator as you both do. I have found them to work okay but TIME is the element along with some battery TLC. I found I could get it to work but It took like 4-6 weeks on a 500ma trickle charge. I finally wired my desulfator to a male cigarette lighter plug this way I can move it from vehicle to vehicle etc. I just use jump leads if I want to go direct to a battery terminal. Im sure one of the higher price units with algorythms built in probably work better/faster. Great Video Rin.
Good point! I have been exposed to lots of toxic stuff when I was in the army. I don't want to push my luck any more than I already have, Thanks! Ever had any luck repairing dead lithium-ion cells? I remember you tearing some apart and taking out the bad cells, but is there a way to use something like a dusulfinator on them? I know its tricky to get the cells balanced but it would be nice if there was a silver bullet to get the dead ones working again, an easy fix.
no, and of all the lectures i've seen about how lithium batteries work. it doesnt look like there is any magic fix other than preventing it from dying in the first place. if you handle cells carfuly they can give like 4,000+ cycles.
very impressed that battery took a good charge and had a good discharge rate and i have shorted out a lead acid battery on purpose before it became a smoke machine that smelt of rotting corpses lol and i dont know what a rotting corpse smells like but i am sure it was pretty damn close lol the battery was far to shot for revival
Is there any better / faster battery discharge tester than the Imax B6 unit (which only has a 1A max discharge function) that is better suited for larger batteries (such as deep cycle ones like you had here) so you don't have to wait 3-4 days and can get the results back faster. Cheers.
ive found two sets of jumper cables,using only pos or neg in sires ,about 10 seconds, hook cables away from batt!! and watch voltage? if its in a cart just run it low,then test voltage?
i am hoping to get my hands on lots of these t105 batteries and coincidentally i just dropped by my local golf course to inquire but the owner/manager had already gone home this afternoon. i am anxious :)
Rinoa Super-Genius are you still awake toooo?!!!! i am eastern standard time btw and going to bed soon LOL yeah i will gladly pay 15 bucks for 50amp/hour if i can get it ;) plus i love tinkering with stuff like you do ... so that would be a cheap pastime
@@RinoaL ok I was gonna try the Epsom salt trick to clean the plates , so if I drained and started fresh with the epsom salt water mix that should restore levels?

i was going to have a video up today but weather is shit. was freezing yesterday and now the wind is so bad the strap on my camera is blowing out like 70 degree angle.
Im not sure I would be able to recover and balance the lithium batteries. I want to try and desulfate a dead battery back to full charge then convert it to alum. That seems very promising. I would love to see you convert one of your desulfated batteries into an alum battery. I would also be interested to see if you could figure out how to keep the water in the alum battery from freezing, maby some antifreeze? A good performance test of the battery before and after converting it to alum would be very interesting also, and I don't think it would be expensive to do either. Any way, its your show and your dollar so this is just what I would like to see but I think a lot of people would like to check it out also. Thanks for replying.
actually i'm still caught up with desulfating. even though i've seen it work a bit. ii'm still not fully understanding it. i think its because i have a crappy desulfator. i'm going to try and get more definitive results for desulfating. a lot of the tests i've done have had issues that would ruin the results haha and yeah i will do alum battery someday. i just dont want to bury you guys in just battery videos. i dont want to make too many and bore you guys haha.
Can you make your own lead plates and make a supper battery? I knew a person who had bought some old surplus ship batteries "needed a fork lift to move them". He used baking soda to wash them out and they recharged just fine. Now he has a back up battery bank that will last a week with out recharging. I would love to have batteries that strong but I don't live near a navy ship yard. Is it possible to make your own batteries, is there a substitute for lead?
it would be cheaper, more effective and easier to just use lithium-ion cells. not counting lead-dioxide is the most poisonous form of lead. if you where going to work with the lead that much you would need hazmat equipment.
Do you know what the average internal impedance (ohms) of a 6v golf cart battery is? Mine aren't even getting a reading and I need to know what I need to get it down to. Thanks
Pedro Casultsan Also I have been looking for a discharge meter like the one you have for some time. I can't find any that work for Pb. They only work for Li-ion and Ni. Where did you get yours?

Hey Rinoa, another nice job, I remembered in one of your earlier vids you were messing with a battery and your shorted it which seemed to give it a bit of a boost, have you tried that on this one perhaps? it makes me wonder if last time was a fluke or they actually benefit from that jolt :-) something to think on you could check this new post ive made incase it helps you with your design side of things :-) laters Autocad - Coping with an average PC
I'm using some small golf buggy batteries to power my scooter/ebike atm but im after getting some li-ions from china or liberating b&qs recycle bins for electric hedgecutter cells :-) if I could shunt these im using now then they could be handy for other stuff like my 'Heng-long R/C tank transmitter mod'. Check it out (shorting the recycled battery) when you get chance with that one or another one :-) im sure the opportunity will pop up at some point or another :-D
i forgot, is that the battery you got from that amazing store a week or so back that you did the video with? if not, can we see that, and if it recovered!, good vid, good basic advice to charge it gently and over a long time!
no that battery is up next hehe ^^ but i did get this from the same place, just a week latter. i'm trying my hardest to compact as much info into a small video as possible, i think my battery videos have been improving every time i do them.
No the # of batteries is not all they care about, they care about how much lead is in it. If you take a large battery you need to give them maybe 4 or 5 of those smaller batteries to be "fair", otherwise they can say you are stealing from them.
I REALLY like that final fantasy music. Where did you get a copy of it? I would get that just to put into my music selections while mowing my yard! And, good news. I found a good, small 12 volt battery. Its just one of those little sealed things. You know what im talking about. Ill use that for my lights and stuff. I guess im not going for a radio for the parade, its next friday...
NateWilson99 Final Fantasy VI: Devil's Lab Extended i downloaded it with Download Helper, then converted it to mp3 with FormatFactory. then i sped it up in audacity to help fool the youtube content ID from recognising it, not counting i think it sounds better sped up. i have two unlisted videos, one of the origenal audio and faster and neither are being detected by youtube yet.
I just use mayo and mustard in my batteries oh yeah and just a little hot sauce to really make it pop👍 there is a real REASON they say use distilled water in batteries they being the actual battery manufacturer
not sure if it's worth it to use a battery that can only hold 25% of the energy you are used to it having, you're golf cart would run out of power all the time, but i liked this video.
I can't get enough of these videos! >_< Im thinking about getting a CP1000AVRLCD, and I can get several of those batteries to mess with and perhaps for a electric moped in the future. Maybe I can look at salvage yard for some deep cycles
Omg that's awesome, I'll definitely keep that in mind =D. I found a couple UPS/batteries (Im pretty sure they were 12v) at a good will but there were .85v and .15v so I didn't get them (typical luck). Im thinking it needs to be 50% for a chance to even recover, I wasn't able to get the caps off with the multimeter I had on me. Who knows how long they were there. If I can find a boat/deep cycle scrap yard I'll let you know what I find. Is there anyway I could test them besides a multimeter perhaps a load test, I was also thinking of a small 12v battery to charge from and see if it takes the current, so perhaps I need some diodes as well...
If your unable to bring the pressure back to 12.3vdc the battery is still bad and this was unsuccessful. Yes the battery might power a light bulb.... you can power a light bulb with a potato.
@joe18370 Hi! I like this video.I have heard some extraordinary things for Renkarter rapid renew report and it was very helpful to me (to know more do a search on google?)
Hi accidentally i make a small hole into the bottom of my 6 volts deep cycle Batteries, and drain Out one of the cells. Please any one knows how i can seal it? Thanks a Lot for the help!!!
one time i made a relay circuit that charged a capacitor to 30v, then it connected that to the battery and discharges a high amp 30v burst into the battery. the battery read like 4v AC on the terminals.....that is untill the relays i was using melted from having over power and running at like 200hrz haha.
Rinoa Super-Genius Ha ha you do have some fun, and thats how we all learn :-)) When i was a kid i used to bring things back from the rubbish dump, its amazing i never caught something really nasty but i didnt, clocks and electronics i loved taking to bits, so enjoyable to learn with stuff that didnt matter :-)) You construct using bits and bobs that dont matter, so you can experement and have some fun as well :-))
michael phillips as i said this desulfator is very cheep, idk if it even works. doesnt have any noticable change in electrical signal. i'll be bulding my own desulfator someday.
So basically he didn't do anything exactly? He just filled the battery with water which called maintenance and he charged and discharged it nothing else. Waste of time

+David James yeah he did.. mean 70% water and 30% sulfuric acid
Meant "Fact" .. Typo - 70% water and 30% sulfuric acid.
I heard that you're supposed to zap it a few times at two or three times the voltage for very short periods to loosen up the sulfated plates and then charge it normally.
or just let the clamps arc on purpose when hooking up the battery, like striking an arc when welding.

Any way, its your show and your dollar so this is just what I would like to see but I think a lot of people would like to check it out also.
Thanks for replying.
actually i'm still caught up with desulfating. even though i've seen it work a bit. ii'm still not fully understanding it. i think its because i have a crappy desulfator.
i'm going to try and get more definitive results for desulfating. a lot of the tests i've done have had issues that would ruin the results haha
and yeah i will do alum battery someday. i just dont want to bury you guys in just battery videos. i dont want to make too many and bore you guys haha.
Can you make your own lead plates and make a supper battery? I knew a person who had bought some old surplus ship batteries "needed a fork lift to move them".
He used baking soda to wash them out and they recharged just fine. Now he has a back up battery bank that will last a week with out recharging. I would love to have batteries that strong but I don't live near a navy ship yard. Is it possible to make your own batteries, is there a substitute for lead?
it would be cheaper, more effective and easier to just use lithium-ion cells.
not counting lead-dioxide is the most poisonous form of lead. if you where going to work with the lead that much you would need hazmat equipment.
Do you know what the average internal impedance (ohms) of a 6v golf cart battery is? Mine aren't even getting a reading and I need to know what I need to get it down to. Thanks
Pedro Casultsan Also I have been looking for a discharge meter like the one you have for some time. I can't find any that work for Pb. They only work for Li-ion and Ni. Where did you get yours?
+Pedro Casultsan its the fake imax b6
Nice Vid! Maybe I will be able to find some old batteries as easy as you do
yeah, they are everywhere :D
What music did you use while you were cleaning the battery? Remind me of Final Fantasy lol
devils lab from final fantasy 6 ^^
Rinoa Super-Genius Wow I was right lol (^'')^ Thanks
Time is money. I'd just assume trade it in for a new one at Walmart for $100.
what is the ampier of thhe battery
would u share what type and brand of charger you are using. I have 8 used trojan 105 s that i need to rejuvenate if possible
interesting points ,if anyone else needs to find out about battery fix try Jons Mender Guide ( search on google ) ? Ive heard some super things about it and my work buddy got cool results with it.
Hey Rinoa, another nice job, I remembered in one of your earlier vids you were messing with a battery and your shorted it which seemed to give it a bit of a boost, have you tried that on this one perhaps? it makes me wonder if last time was a fluke or they actually benefit from that jolt :-) something to think on you could check this new post ive made incase it helps you with your design side of things :-) laters Autocad - Coping with an average PC
i found thats an effect that epsom salt adds to the battery. but it would be good to test it on this also.
I'm using some small golf buggy batteries to power my scooter/ebike atm but im after getting some li-ions from china or liberating b&qs recycle bins for electric hedgecutter cells :-) if I could shunt these im using now then they could be handy for other stuff like my 'Heng-long R/C tank transmitter mod'. Check it out (shorting the recycled battery) when you get chance with that one or another one :-) im sure the opportunity will pop up at some point or another :-D
Really good 😊
Hi Rinoa! I may be completely wrong, but that psu looks like it is outputting 9.99 amps, not 999 milliamps.
i forgot, is that the battery you got from that amazing store a week or so back that you did the video with? if not, can we see that, and if it recovered!, good vid, good basic advice to charge it gently and over a long time!
no that battery is up next hehe ^^
but i did get this from the same place, just a week latter.
i'm trying my hardest to compact as much info into a small video as possible, i think my battery videos have been improving every time i do them.
Rinoa Super-Genius
i agree, and it is solid advice you give to try to recover them to useful status
No the # of batteries is not all they care about, they care about how much lead is in it. If you take a large battery you need to give them maybe 4 or 5 of those smaller batteries to be "fair", otherwise they can say you are stealing from them.
Charge the battery at least seven and a half volts and two amps for about 12 hours maybe 24 hours and see what kind of reading again after that
I REALLY like that final fantasy music. Where did you get a copy of it? I would get that just to put into my music selections while mowing my yard! And, good news. I found a good, small 12 volt battery. Its just one of those little sealed things. You know what im talking about. Ill use that for my lights and stuff. I guess im not going for a radio for the parade, its next friday...
i downloaded it from youtube. pretty much every videogame soundtrack is on youtube now.
Yeah. Which final fantasy is it? Im sorry. I know that its final fantasy, just dont know which...
NateWilson99 Final Fantasy VI: Devil's Lab Extended
i downloaded it with Download Helper, then converted it to mp3 with FormatFactory. then i sped it up in audacity to help fool the youtube content ID from recognising it, not counting i think it sounds better sped up. i have two unlisted videos, one of the origenal audio and faster and neither are being detected by youtube yet.
Thanks, I found it. It definitely sounds better sped up.
There's no debate about distilled water and tap, don't use tap.
there is, it depends on your tap. i have batteries i filled with tap water that are still going over a decade later.
I just use mayo and mustard in my batteries oh yeah and just a little hot sauce to really make it pop👍
there is a real REASON they say use distilled water in batteries they being the actual battery manufacturer
easiest source of distilled water is collecting fresh snow and melting it.
As u see his water us clean n clear. No contaminates. Use filtered water.
not sure if it's worth it to use a battery that can only hold 25% of the energy you are used to it having, you're golf cart would run out of power all the time, but i liked this video.
I can't get enough of these videos! >_<
Im thinking about getting a CP1000AVRLCD, and I can get several of those batteries to mess with and perhaps for a electric moped in the future. Maybe I can look at salvage yard for some deep cycles
look for boat batteries at a scrap yard! those things would have like 400AH sometimes :D
Omg that's awesome, I'll definitely keep that in mind =D. I found a couple UPS/batteries (Im pretty sure they were 12v) at a good will but there were .85v and .15v so I didn't get them (typical luck). Im thinking it needs to be 50% for a chance to even recover, I wasn't able to get the caps off with the multimeter I had on me. Who knows how long they were there. If I can find a boat/deep cycle scrap yard I'll let you know what I find. Is there anyway I could test them besides a multimeter perhaps a load test, I was also thinking of a small 12v battery to charge from and see if it takes the current, so perhaps I need some diodes as well...
DragonsREpic
i would say just a 12v car headlight with aligator clips wired to it. that would be a great load test.
If your unable to bring the pressure back to 12.3vdc the battery is still bad and this was unsuccessful. Yes the battery might power a light bulb.... you can power a light bulb with a potato.
It’s a 6volt battery
i like what you did to to lawn mower, to move stuff.
@joe18370 Hi! I like this video.I have heard some extraordinary things for Renkarter rapid renew report and it was very helpful to me (to know more do a search on google?)
Hi accidentally i make a small hole into the bottom of my 6 volts deep cycle Batteries, and drain Out one of the cells. Please any one knows how i can seal it? Thanks a Lot for the help!!!
JB weld will work
Plastic weld. Search RUclips. Lots of vids on it.
What is the gray device, charger
Bench top dc power supply.
Im sure i read somewhere that pulse charging helps, so its a flasher unit and a bulb lol, just kidding :-))
one time i made a relay circuit that charged a capacitor to 30v, then it connected that to the battery and discharges a high amp 30v burst into the battery. the battery read like 4v AC on the terminals.....that is untill the relays i was using melted from having over power and running at like 200hrz haha.
Rinoa Super-Genius
Ha ha you do have some fun, and thats how we all learn :-))
When i was a kid i used to bring things back from the rubbish dump, its amazing i never caught something really nasty but i didnt, clocks and electronics i loved taking to bits, so enjoyable to learn with stuff that didnt matter :-))
You construct using bits and bobs that dont matter, so you can experement and have some fun as well :-))
Regular water has minerals in and you dont know what minerals they are Distilled water does not. Tap water at best reduces battery life at best.
Cool!
you are too! :D
michael phillips
i've never heard of a desolator.
michael phillips
as i said this desulfator is very cheep, idk if it even works. doesnt have any noticable change in electrical signal.
i'll be bulding my own desulfator someday.
Rinoa Super-Genius if you dont even know what sulfation and a desulfator is how can you even claim to grasp battery theory?! stupid stupid stupid
roycehellion
what the fuck are you talking about?
So basically he didn't do anything exactly? He just filled the battery with water which called maintenance and he charged and discharged it nothing else. Waste of time
Whats up, The best guide that I have read was on Volt daddy (i did a google) Gotta be the most helpful info on batteries and this kinda things that I have found
Fuck you and fuck your SCAM.
my jaycar desulphator seems to work well on a 12 Volt TV Transformer!!
So you revived it with just charging it? Amazing! Who da thunk it! Pointless video
more like fillin with water then slowly charging it, if i remember right. but hey, most people dont know even simple stuff about batteries.

my dad gets 4 year old batteries from his work for free because they just throw them away.
nice, they would be very useful for tons of stuff. you could weld with them, build an electric vehicle, or even build a battery backup for your house.
Rinoa Super-Genius i am using the batteries for an electric golf cart and my dad plans to convert a ride-on lawnmower from gas to electric.

This is idiotic. Never use tap water.
yet it works ok for me. it depends on your tap water.
Distilled water is very common and has no minerals. minerals attach to the plates and decreases life of battery.
