atv battery setup

[@annettecarstens389]

Hi, I'm closing in on 60 and my husband is handicapped, which means I'm the chief doitall. With your assistance, I'm heading out to install the acid into the battery, and then the battery into the quad, but I will be doing it with confidence! Then to plow the driveway. Thank you for your video!

[@Robinson-Homestead]

You can do this just take your time

[@antonioperalez8808]

I stood at wallmart by the batteries until this guy explained to be before I made my choice. Thanks for this cool video

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thanks for the comment and watching.

[@explorer867]

We use a battery tender on the ATV battery. Helps the battery last longer and it always ready to go. Thanks for your video

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Never really used them before but I am now.

[@PaulDGreen-bu4iz]

I got your reply from your other video. That's good you're feeling better Kevin! Great video! Thank you for sharing!

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Trying to catch up on the comments.

I'm an electrician Kev, and I'll give you a little tip.. There's a saying when working on the positive end and it's, "1st to break last to make".. Just a little less vulnerable to get shocked tip that's all bud! 👍

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thanks Bobby good one.

[@jmccracken491]

Always and I do mean always good video. Informative content and presented In format with nothing of profanity. I love Kevins channel simply because what you hear is what you get. I know viewers who have met Kevin and Julie. Kevin thanks for all you do. May God bless you for years to come.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thank you Jim my friend.

[@Hatch61]

They are great, I have the "Battery Tender" brand, it has four leads, and keeps all the toys ready. Great video Kevin, I hope you are continuing to feel better. Be well my friend.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Feeling better for sure thanks Hatch.

[@thebrothers4311]

Just bought this exact battery from Autozone. Asked the worker if I needed to add the acid myself, and he said no that was extra. I've been working on my bike all day following wires everywhere wondering why I still have no power. So frustrating, all I needed to do was setup the battery. I'll stick with O'Reillys, they just didn't have the battery I needed....

[@la2toronto789]

You needed to add that acid

[@Robinson-Homestead]

,Man that stinks sorry to hear that , hopefully you got everything working great again.

[@HondariderLee]

Thanks man.... been while since I done one these..... fixed one up for my sons scooter..... great video informative......

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Glad it helped

[@williammcguire3rd]

Awesome video. Thanks for sharing. Good to see you doing better!

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thanks William.

[@ronsites2694]

Kevin, thanks for another good video. I didn’t know you could buy dry batteries anymore. I get mine at the auto parts store and they are already charged and ready to go. I am lucky to get one season out of my mower battery and I use a trickle charger too.

[@mlangfordoutdoor]

That there is a nice 4 wheeler, if it won't start I will buy it - and pay the shipping. Great video Kevin hay you can use that to move youre micro camper that would be easy. Good to see you again sir

[@Redneckmfg]

Been there,, done that,, great video to show how it's done... Happy Holiday !!!

[@Gyppor]

Well that is interesting, I've never seen a battery that comes with the acid separate. I guess it can't discharge on the shelf if it's not flooded, a great idea!

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thanks for watching and the comment Gyppor.

[@BluWaveOdyssey]

Shout-outs are awesome. They help connect like-minded channels. I just heard about you from the channel Explorer 867, where you got a grand review. This looks like an informative channel to follow. We'll be checking out your videos.

[@frankcarrerejr]

I have never seen dry batteries before. I been saying I’m going to get a trickle charger, for my lawn mowers. Glade you are feeling better, I can still hear you voice is not quite back to normal.

Odd now to see a battery come dry. It was normal 35 + years ago but just seems odd now. I just had one come in that was already loaded. Odd to have any reg. Joe do this. Great setup though. I have a solar panel on the ones sitting around like the house generator. It made it 10 years before needing to have the battery changed.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

[@Carsondreed7]

Do you have to replace the acid?

[@jonnu7772000]

Question. I put a new battery in my 4 wheeler doing this same process but I accidentally changed the battery in deep cell mode on my charger. Will that damage my new battery? I had it on trickle charge but in deep cell mode instead of regular mode.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

It should be okay. Trinkle charge would be better though thanks.

[@jonnu7772000]

@@Robinson-Homestead yes it was on the 2 amp trickle charge but in the regular mode. Thinks. I guess time will tell lol

[@Pete.Ty1]

Hi Kevin. Here in the UK it is now illegal to supply or buy dry batteries with supplied acid unless you hold a licence which allows you to store and use poisons and explosives. Best wishes Pete.

[@aspensulphate]

That sounds like the UK nanny state. Must protect people from themselves.

[@bentnickel7487]

Kevin, when I saw the tailgatertiretable on CheapRVliving I thought for $140. that seemed expensive, but you could make that "with improvements" for far less, just for your family, of course. It's Bob's latest video.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

That looks like it'd be a fun build.

[@DargoDog]

Excellent video!!! But, for the love of peanut butter and jelly, why can't these things just have a drop in battery?

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Good ???? thanks for the comment.

[@goodough]

How is it an AGM battery with liquid like that

[@Robinson-Homestead]

I'm not sure, thanks for watching.

[@aspensulphate]

Where do I get a "trinkle" charger?

[@Robinson-Homestead]

I do know Walmart has them Harbor Freight has them and I know you can get them off Amazon

[@Helping.Homless]

I added the acid and started charging immediately....didnt wait an hour.. its charging now..hope that won't effect anything in a negative way

[@Helping.Homless]

Update..it didnt matter i started charging right after adding the acid..fully charged after an hour

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thanks for the update Jax Max should be fine.

[@DTA-me3kv]

​@@Robinson-HomesteadKevin will that be ok? 2 amp charge for 6 hours.

These are way better EverStart Premium AGM Power Sport Battery well worth the money I use my atv maybe 2 or 3 times a year and these little agm battery are the small battery I have tried that actually will hold the charge lead acid battery because of how small they are just trash

[@vipersniper843]

Don't you use your quad in summer to pull your swisher mower ? I do.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Yeah I guess I do just like once a year maybe twice.

[@blazerwilliams2260]

Will there be any change after putting acid in? I have no charger.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

That's a good question I'm not sure on that one sorry.

[@blazerwilliams2260]

@@Robinson-Homestead I tried, there was nothing. But thanks for responding.

[@900stx7]

Yes, the battery needs to be changed after adding acids.

[@chrisrestifo7010]

I bought a NAPA battery for my Sportster. Just by adding the acid the battery had a 12.55 volt charge. They still need to be charged initially before being put into service

[@christinewright5670]

you didnt show what comes first for putting the metal block or the circle ting before you put the screw in so i still dont know what to do at that point. you skipped tat step so i got nothing bout of this.
