[@donaldhalls2189]

Most batteries here in Australia are sealed batteries, and always dry out, but if you can pull the eye glass out and add water,but it looks like it works, thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones

[@ArrowheadGarage]

Well dang it, sealed batteries are no good, lol thanks for watching and saying hello!

[@STARFIRESOLAR]

Yeah, you did a battery fix video and said you would follow up with a video in a few weeks to see how it was holding up but you never made the follow-up video, at least I have searched your videos and couldn't find it. Thanks a lot for that.

[@CarShowclub]

I did this last night and it worked great!

[@ArrowheadGarage]

Pretty easy and cheap way to keep that battery going a bit longer!

[@TheCSIguy]

Hey man you have no idea how much you have saved me money, i was able to bring 3x batteries to life because of this video. All 3 were dead batteries even the battery tester said replace cells but after I completed these steps they all came back to life and are now reading as good battery from the battery machine and I can now leave these cars of for about 7 days in a cold rainy weather but whhen I start all 3 cars they all seing with just one swing, so thank you man !!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Wet area under the caps can short out the cells and thus discharge the battery. The area under the caps should be clean and dry.

[@ArrowheadGarage]

Your're correct, I did clean up those caps off camera. Glad you reminded me to stat that for others to know. Thanks sir!!!

[@Rustrevivalgarage]

Very good to know! I actually thought most batteries were sealed. Thanks, man!

[@ArrowheadGarage]

The only battery I have that is sealed is the one on my G6, the rest still have the ole caps. Thanks for watching!!!

you don't tap off the battery water over at the base of the plastic opening. when you look inside the battery fill hole you will see the plastic inside extend close to the battery cell plates. the water line should be at the base of the plastic to allow water expansion. Overfilling water past the base will cause water to spill on the battery top. The battery was weak due to lack of water. filling with distilled water and then charging overnight usually will revive the battery unless it is a very old battery or has a completely dead cell (each cell is 2.1VDC x 6 cell = 12.6 VDC).

[@ArrowheadGarage]

Never over fill a battery, and if all you need to do it top off a fairly good battery then some distilled water can do the trick. But if you have a battery that is 4-5 years old and clearly need more than a top off, the stuff in the bottle seems be working. Thanks for watching and dropping a comment, I sure do appreciate it!

Very Well Stated. Thank you.❤❤❤❤

[@firstgenerationgarage2803]

Great video brother 👍

[@ArrowheadGarage]

Thank you Luis, another DIY automotive tip for those who are in a pickle and need to get to work tomorrow!

[@CesarsCarCorner]

How do you dispose of the old acid?

[@ArrowheadGarage]

Call your city or counties recycling center.

[@hachi666roku]

The dreaded 51R honda battery- does more work than it’s spec for 😂 50/50 on saving those- we go through those like underwear in the northeast

[@ZZZZ-zg3zb]

Thats a costco battery, enough said

[@ArrowheadGarage]

All my rides have interstate batteries from Costco lol

[@topherbec7578]

Who knew they made liquid electricity.

[@ArrowheadGarage]

I wasn't too sure about this stuff, but the video doesn't lie it worked (so far) lol thanks for watching!!!!

[@benjaminwilliams3568]

Uhhhh Guy, one must take the caps Loose in order to vent the build up of gas vapors during the charge. Failing to loosen the caps causes heat build up internally causing case swelling.

[@ArrowheadGarage]

Thank goodness no case swelling or issues, I sure do appreciate you taking the time to not only watch the video but leaving a comment. Thanks for helping me grow this little channel bigger :)

[@Indigo4711]

Looks like the DUFUS forgot his gloves after full charge and taking the caps off... 🙄

[@ArrowheadGarage]

Thank you for watching and leaving a comment, I sure do appreciate all the effort you afforded to help me grow.

[@STARFIRESOLAR]

You said you were going to make a follow-up video on this battery fix but just like the first battery fix follow-up video you said you were going to do, well you didn't do a follow-up video on this one either. Probably because your battery fix didn't work. Hey thanks a pantload for the tips.

[@karljay7473]

I too was looking for a follow up on that one. I just started testing a few things and the only things that seemed to work was to use a welder in the 100 amp range to get some balance to the cells. I don't like these "magic fluid" solution and no long term follow up. There's not even a simple specific gravity test before and after.

[@bills6093]

This is silly and dangerous, IMO. Don't do this. Don't buy that stuff. Just do the right thing and get a new battery.

[@fjohnson9749]

What is so silly and dangerous? The only silly thing is trying to shake a 50+ pound battery.

[@ArrowheadGarage]

Not sure I see the silly and dangerous part but so far the stuff in the bottle is working on the battery. Yes I can afford to just buy a battery, but I know there are millions of people in the world right now that don't have the money... so if I can help them save some coin going to do my best. Thanks for watching and dropping a comment, I appreciate it!

[@ArrowheadGarage]

Thanks man, the battery in the Porsche is a little thing... I wouldn't want to try shaking that big ass battery in my wife's Nissan Titan... nope not going to do it lol thanks for watching!

[@CYangtze]

I usually tie rope 🪢 to battery drive around the block of 5 minutes instead of shaking the battery 😢😅😢
