acid lead battery recovery 3of3 INCLUDES NEW UPDATE 2018!

This is it folks! IF this battery cranks the mower over we are successful whether the mower starts or not, if it'll just crank the engine then all our troubles were worth the effort because I could charge it all day long before and it wouldn't crank the engine! Watch to find out! And thanks for doing so! :D

[@antonitorres5934]

I have a very large battery in my RV. I think it has internal damage. The batrery charger boiled out the water and exposed the cells. Your process did save my two 6volt batteries . Thank You. America needs more men like you to show independance and self Reliance. To recap. 10 ounces baking soda and 1 gallon distilled water. Flush battery twice. 12 oz of 100% epsion salt To 1 gallon of water distilled. Fill cells. Then charge to 12 DC volts.

Impressive bounce back for that battery - almost started the tractor on the first round of cranking, & easily would've, given a quick shot of ether down the carb. Very informative! I guarantee this is getting saved in my browser's bookmarks!

[@CraftyZA]

Good series. What I do with the baking soda phase is to keep repeat that until you do not get bubbling any more. You might want to leave the 2nd rince overnight. Also when bumping the battery around, do it on a solid surface. Such as that piece of concrete paving behind you. the harder shock tends to break the crystals a bit easier. You can also use the baking soda to clean the terminals if there are any crystallization there. Once fresh baking soda no longer bubbles, I rinse the battery twice with distilled water. I've never tried Epsom salt though. I Usually just grab some free battery water from my local gas station. I think it is a 10% solution of sulfuric acid and distilled water. That way you pretty much end up with an almost new battery.

I tried this on a car battery years and years ago, not for frugality, but as a desperate attempt. I flushed and rinsed till the water ran clear, and then filled the battery with clean distilled water.. And then I charged it till it bubbled like soda-water. Once again I rinsed out the battery, then refilled it with new, store bought electrolyte. And it worked. I am going to try it again, using what I have learned from you, thank you. A frugal thing, this time. Time before, it was I gotta have a battery to get to work, a battery that holds a charge, maybe I can refresh my battery. Good old days...no, it sucked. thanks again.

So happy to see this. I was told about the soda thing 15yrs ago so I cleaned it with soda and although I only put the old acid back the battery worked. .but everyone I told thought I was crazy..but it worked so I did not argue as it was their loss.

[@colauty2598]

[@rogerd4559]

yes, I did that too but didn't know about the baking soda wash. At that time you could buy fresh sulfuric acid and replace with fresh but didn't do any good cause of the sulfation, this was 30 years ago before the battery rejuvenation trend!

[@wellnesspathforme6236]

You couldn't get the battery to power a vehicle, right? I'm stuck with one cell not bubbling, but when I jarred the battery around a little bit, the cell that didn't work changed to the one next to it. I'm running 40 A through the battery terminals with a stick welder. The bad cell doesn't bubble, and like I said, it changed based on rattling the battery around.

[@tenlittleindians]

Buddy Martin Harbor Freight sell battery maintainers cheap. They are nothing more than a 12 volt "wall wart" at below an amp. It will take longer to charge but you may have better luck at this low amperage to bring back a dead battery. Check the information on the package but most of them do not have battery monitoring, in other words they are dumb chargers. Look around your house, you may already have a 12 or 13 volt DC wall wart at an amp or less your not using. Snip off the barrel jack and solder on some alligator clips and you just made a trickle charger.

No, that motor has a alternator under the flywheel, with 36v A.C. leads to head lights... and Some D.C. leads to the Battery .... from different coils, not affecting the 12V charging of the battery.

Great series of videos. Really covered the topic in depth and tested at the end. Thank you so much.

[@GeekTherapyRadio]

Great video series bud! Just like to add if I may that typically this epsom salt procedure is to clean/rejuvenate the battery, not ultimately a replacement for battery acid. Once you've got the battery in improved shape (de-sulfated), as you have done wonderfully, you'll want to dump the epsom salt mixture out and replace with normal fresh battery acid once again (about $8/quart at any auto parts store). At that point you'll have completed the restoration and the battery will be operating at its maximum refurbished capacity and cranking amps. That said, experimentation is fun. If the epsom salt solution is meeting one's needs, no harm keeping the epsom salt solution. After all, the battery was "dead" and most people would've just thrown it out! Either way you're stretching your dollar, which is the entire point anyway! :)

[@deanstuder1775]

That was well said.

[@RandySchartiger]

you are correct, putting acid back into the battery would make it last longer as you said, but I'm getting anywhere from 3 to 4 years on the epsom salt then I just do it all again. thanks for watching and commenting!

[@GeekTherapyRadio]

@@RandySchartiger Awesome brother!

[@shanejohns7901]

@@RandySchartiger As I said in previous video, you are mixing metals -- lead and magnesium. Those bubbles are oxygen bubbles leaving the H2O (water), and leaving Hydrogen ions running around -- thereby creating the sulfuric acid. So it's a sulfuric acid solution the way you're doing it -- which is the same kind of acid you dumped out in the dirty (contaminated with Lead Sulfate) solution. The issue comes with the Magnesium. That magnesium from the Epsom Salt (Magnesium Sulfate) will wind up electroplating the lead plates inside. Both metals conduct electricity. So it clearly will work. And it will fill some of the pitting on the lead plates with Magnesium metal. However, the voltage comes from a differential between metals. You may simply wind up with a battery with lead plates electroplated with magnesium metal that doesn't have the same voltage capacity as it should have. If you were to simply dump out the old electrolyte with the lead sulfate junk in it, and merely add more sulfuric acid of the appropriate concentration...the more you do this, the thinner and thinner those lead plates would get inside. By adding magnesium sulfate, you're helping reduce the amount of the lead plate thinning/pitting. My main concern would be how well the electroplated magnesium 'sticks' to the lead plates. If it doesn't stick well because of chemical properties, the vibration from lawn mowing could cause some of those magnesium deposits to fall to the bottom of the battery as pure magnesium metal powder -- which could wind up shorting out the cells inside. This can happen with the lead solution as well, though -- as the lead sulfate falls off the plates too. And when you re-charge the battery, that lead sulfate turns into just lead metal powder with the sulfur going into solution as Sulfuric Acid. Lead metal powder shorts out plates just as much as magnesium metal powder does. So it's very important to flush that battery out at that initial baking soda step as best you can to remove all the lead and/or magnesium metal particles that have detached from the plates.

This is a great how to. What I do is almost the same with 2 exceptions. I rinse the battery with distilled water to empty any loose particles and extra baking soda. I also use sulfuric acid instead of Epson salt. Epson salt does not have as much electrical potential as the original acid. I have take a battery ad used the Epson salt with a 350 cca result. I then replaced it with acid and recharged. the same battery held a 630 cca. That being said, I love your video. Keep up the great work.

I'm also planning to purchase some battery acid such as this one: www.amazon.com/WPS-Non-Sealed-Battery-Electrolyte-Pack/dp/B003CKJDW6#customerReviews The purchased acid is to top off any batteries that are low and to boost the concentration of sulfur a bit.

Sometimes unless it's a dead short a cell like this can be revived, even if it is a dead short sometimes the baking soda will finally loosen the sulfate crystals enough to fall off and eliminate the shorted cell, I might work on that one cell a bit more. Thanks for having a look.

Excellent info on the batteries! I notice you have a lot of splattering going on on top of the battery. You might find that if you put your voltmeter probes on the Battery top that you are losing voltage from the electrolyte lying on the Battery top. At least that's been my experience. You might consider placing the cell caps in place lightly to keep the splatter down. That might make for a faster charge and less work for the charger. I might be wrong, but I would be interested to know if I'm right. I really enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work. Cj

[@RandySchartiger]

You're right about the fluid on the top of the battery, it can definitely cause problems if enough of it gets on there at once. The caps should always be left off or just laying loose over the cells because a lot of gas and pressure can build up over the process of charging from dead to a full charge.

The clearance on the valves with a feeler gauge and 1/4 inch past top dead center measured from the spark plug hole with a screwdriver, (I used a wooden dowel ) The valve clearance should be .005 -.008 with .005 being preferred clearance when cold.

The voltage of the battery was right on the money, but the cranking amps was absolutely missing which is the most important factor to start his mini tractor.

So epsom distilled water mixed with lead core generated by electricity? Converts to battery acid?

Hi, Master, it was really great and I was impressed, just one question, the amount of combination of acid water and distilled water should be a few, that is, how much should I combine for each battery, thank you.

If the battery has an open cell will this still work on the battery or do you have to repair the open cell?
