Don’t Throw Away Your Old Batteries! 3 Easy Tricks to Restore 1.5V Batteries Like New !

[@ricardohda]

Just a heads-up for anyone watching this: using pliers to squeeze batteries to "get a bit more charge" is really dangerous and not worth the risk. When you do this, you can damage the battery's casing and cause toxic chemicals to leak out. Worse, it can create short circuits inside the battery, which might make it heat up, leak, or even explode. And yes, this kind of damage can lead to fires, even if the battery is just sitting around after you’ve squeezed it. The tiny bit of extra charge you might get isn't worth risking your safety, your home, or the environment. The safest option? Recycle your used batteries properly at a collection point. Don’t try to revive them with risky hacks like this! Stay safe, everyone!

I purposely throw mine away down city sewer.

[@kaipeterson6852]

Recycle them? Yeah, right. Nothing is recycled in upstate NY.

[@stuartsandler7755]

​@@kaipeterson6852Roughly around where in NYS doesn't recycle?

[@stuartsandler7755]

We once had 2 A/AA's, we didn't know were in contact. Truly a HELLUVA EXPLOSION, you do need to take seriously!!!

[@creationholic101]

Thank you for this detailed safety advice! It’s important to prioritize safety. 😊

I used to use my dad's 6v bateaux charger to chage 6v woth of 1.5v batteries. When they get warm stop let them cool, and repeat. I used the same d cell batteries in my radio for 6 months ;)

[@creationholic101]

That’s a clever way to get more life out of your batteries! Thanks for sharing your experience! 😊

[@williamwong5627]

In Singapore, we just leave the dead batteries under hot sun for 3 hours and it is as good as new.

[@ryunakgenesis8308]

Ah claro porque ahí sale el sol

[@creationholic101]

That’s an interesting tip! Be cautious, though, as extreme heat can sometimes cause batteries to leak or overheat.

[@MrJijos]

Here in Kenya we don't use pliers, we use our teeth..and the batteries are up and running 😅

[@creationholic101]

Haha, that’s quite the resourceful method! Just be careful with your teeth! 😄

[@haroldlane4647]

While there seems to be a lot pseudo-electonics knowledge shown, I do think I will make the plastic pipe battery holder. I would probably use a round-headed bolt on the negative end and flat-headed bolt on the positive end. Maybe also use a spring and washer on one or both ends. I have always wanted to connect up a bunch of nearly dead batteries to get a little more use out of them. Could also use a larger diameter pipe the length of 1 battery to make voltage same but bring amperage up. Never wanted to spend for battery holders just to play around and experiment but making holders like this will add to the fun

[@creationholic101]

Great idea! Customizing the battery holder with bolts, springs, and washers sounds creative and resourceful. Best of luck experimenting!

[@chandyjohn9451]

Yes it work ! I have used this method for years for AAA battery

[@creationholic101]

That’s amazing! It’s great to know this method has been reliable for you over the years. 😊

[@fbn6828343]

Just dry the battery under the sun on a hot day for recharge short few hours. It works.

[@creationholic101]

Thanks for the tip! That’s an interesting method. Let us know how well it works for you! 😊

[@vannakr25]

Same here in Cambodia, Indonesia, Thailand, Lao, Burmas😅

[@creationholic101]

It’s interesting to hear that this method is used in other places too! Thanks for sharing! 😊

[@mogeking56]

I just get rid of old batteries before they start leaking and they will leak 🤓

[@creationholic101]

A good approach! It’s always better to dispose of batteries safely. Thanks for sharing your method! 😊

[@penttirahtu2210]

In Finland 🇫🇮 it is forbidden to charge batteries that are not batteries, i.e. intended for charging. Question: on what basis does the author of the video "recommend" against the instructions to charge basic batteries? Could you explain the matter? Col. hi Pentti - from Finland 🇫🇮

[@stuartmcintosh8275]

It’s not recommended in Britain either as they could explode and go on fire🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@BurkenProductions]

Who cares , anyway we o lol also this channel always post fake videos so you better off just reporting it like every one else instead of commenting

[@PeterLeonard-z9b]

​@@stuartmcintosh8275you can do it with a timer switching the charger off every 15 min . And not starting up again for at least 15 min. After charging twice . They are preety useless. They loose power faster. It also stress the charger . Which gets hot.

[@AutismusPrime69]

In United States. F the government. We do what we want.

[@ClareMOM]

The release of hydrogen when charging is the hazard. You are allowed to charge your car battery... it is a lead acid as well... but if done inside or with the caps on... they can and do go boom. I assume too many home accidents from charging small batteries indoors. The large separation between leads helps reduce spark ignition of the hydrogen. You quite rightly pointed out this video addresses none of the know hazards associated with the batteries... and the attempt at recharging.

[@fbn6828343]

Tqvm for sharing your ideas above. Yr tools handling are not safety compliance.

[@72dodge340]

I found an even easier secret method! Free batteries from Harbor Freight with purchase. They have that occasionally (like right now). Much safer, quicker, and easier if you need to buy something else anyway!

[@creationholic101]

That's a great tip! Thanks for sharing.

[@midahusseinhussein7917]

No matters how we do to renew battery life,it no use.just buy new batteries.

[@creationholic101]

I understand your point, but these tricks might still help extend battery life!

[@nishithtiwari9596]

I m fm India and like your videos

[@creationholic101]

Thank you so much for your support from India! It’s great to have viewers from all over the world. 😊

[@antievil]

How about you quit being cheap and buy new batteries? The water method is dangerous as some batteries are lithium and lithium does not play well with water. We talking fire and explosions and 💀 but if you are a cheap bastard advantage do the third method specially make sure you wire into a USB cable and stick it into a the boxes and stick that box into the plug like in the video. DO NOY🚫wire to a 🔌 and stick in wall outlet or you will definitely 💀 or seriously electrozapped n fried.

[@creationholic101]

Safety is really important when dealing with batteries! Thanks for the warning, and always prioritize safety. 😊

[@CleverTips20]

Amazing way to recycle your old battery. The manufacturer definitely didn't expect this. Just need a pair of pliers. Amazing

[@creationholic101]

Glad you liked it! Recycling is always a great option.

[@creationholic101]

Sometimes buying new batteries is just the easiest option! Thanks for your perspective. 😊

[@dubski_01]

This video should come with a safety warning. Maybe it's acceptable in Third World countries to open up expired batteries with pliers in India, or Bangladesh perhaps. In the West we have Safety Rules and Regulations for a reason.

[@11kwright]

Just cos they are forced to do this in third world countries due to lack of affordability doesn’t mean they should be penalised for it - the way you put it. They are resourceful in these poor countries. Anyway, there are lots of rules in the non third world countries that are abused and not followed, so what say ye about that!!!! Just be grateful you can afford batteries. People should do their due diligence than follow like a sheep!!!

[@creationholic101]

Thank you for your concern. Safety is always important. This video encourages DIY with caution and responsible practices. 😊

They make alkaline battery rechargers. You can recharge many times just like ni-cad.

[@stuartsandler7755]

How much they go for? I always throw batteries in somewhat hot water, no salt, 15-20 mins, np. Mom kept 'em in fridge when storing-they last for yrs.!

[@stuartsandler7755]

BTW, I just re-watched the part on hot water... I think that's too hot, n my water never turned yellow!

[@creationholic101]

That’s an interesting point! Alkaline battery chargers are a handy option for those who want to extend battery life. Thanks for mentioning it!

[@renatolauricella6924]

Ottimo, non sapevo di questi metodi, e nemmeno che si sarebbero potute fare riprendere batterie scariche. Per quanto altro tempo possono durare?

[@creationholic101]

Grazie! Dipende dalle condizioni delle batterie, ma di solito possono durare un po' di tempo in più. 😊
