Cool info about 12 volt car batteries.
An automotive battery is a rechargeable battery that is used to start a motor vehicle. Its main purpose is to provide an electric current to the electricity-powered starting motor, which in turn starts the chemically-powered internal combustion engine that actually propels the vehicle. Once the engine is running, power for the car's electrical systems is still supplied by the battery, with the alternator charging the battery as demands increase or decrease.
Battery in modern cars
Gasoline and diesel engine
Typically, starting uses less than three percent of the battery capacity. For this reason, automotive batteries are designed to deliver maximum current for a short period of time. They are sometimes referred to as "SLI batteries" for this reason, for starting, lighting and ignition. SLI batteries are not designed for deep discharging, and a full discharge can reduce the battery's lifespan.
As well as starting the engine, an SLI battery supplies the extra power necessary when the vehicle's electrical requirements exceed the supply from the charging system. It is also a stabilizer, evening out potentially damaging voltage spikes. While the engine is running, most of the power is provided by the alternator, which includes a voltage regulator to keep the output between 13.5 and 14.5 V. Modern SLI batteries are lead-acid type, using six series-connected cells to provide a nominal 12 volt system (in most passenger vehicles and light trucks), or twelve cells for a 24 volt system in heavy trucks or earth-moving equipment, for example.
Gas explosions can occur at the negative electrode where hydrogen gas can build up due to blocked battery vents or a poorly ventilated setting, combined with an ignition source.[5] Explosions during engine start up are typically associated with corroded or dirty battery posts. A 1993 study by the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said that 31% of vehicle battery explosion injuries occurred while charging the battery.[6] The next most common scenarios were while working on cable connections, while jump starting, typically by failing to connect to the dead battery before the charging source and failing to connect to the vehicle chassis rather than directly to the grounded battery post, and while checking fluid levels. Close to two thirds of those injured suffered chemical burns, and nearly three fourths suffered eye injuries, among other possible injuries.

Great job in that you updated us giving us all the info we need. In the end we now know if someone hasn't the money for a new battery, they may get by, at least in warm weather until they can get a new battery. Plus, we know if the guage even touches the BAD range, its time to replace if at all possible or make see sure we carry a jump starter, or at the very least jumper cables.

I’m glad you liked the video and I’m really thinking about upgrading to a lfp battery next time my Prius 12 volt goes bad as they are nearly the same price and on the Prius the motor is not start using the 12 volt. I have a Prius c now so it might be time in about one year. I just need to find a 50 lfp battery with at least a 100 amp bmw.

This year my Dodge had weak battery as it was over 5 years old. So I purchased a battery desulfator and again it didn't work. So I had to purchased another battery, I purchased a a gm battery as these lead acid batteries suck. The agm batteries were running about $350 but I found it walmart for under $190. I almost want to build a lifepo4 battery with a massive Bms so I can avoid these useless expensive car batteries!

Wonder if there any actual proof non distilled water will significantly hurt a battery? I ask because it has been said for years and even today that storing a battery on concrete will kill it, but guess what...not true. I would love to see some experiments proving non distilled water will ruin a battery.

Just be ready and prepared if you get stranded again. I had key Keylime battery desulfator that help battery but only newer batteries not to revive older batteries. There is a battery solution called battery water ( yellow container) that may help but I’ve never tried. I just opt in for an agm battery whenever possible as these flood acid batteries are hopeless. Keep me posted about your experience.

Good day Sir, so what do you conclude? That there is no point adding water? Maybe its because, as in your video, once those plates are exposed then they are permanently damaged. So maybe adding water works only if the cells havent yet been exposed? And you dont say in your video wether to fully charge the battery BEFORE adding distilled and in charging the battery AFTER adding distilled you should wait about 30 mins, as mentioned in some other videos.

Just adding distrilled does not do much at least my case. Yes, you need to charge it after adding the distilled water. I will try the battery water ( the yellow bottle) in a future video.

If any of the acidic fluids from inside the battery had wasted or gotten on anything, hr would have used the baking soda water to neutralize it and clean that area. DO NOT PUT BAKING SODA INSIDE THE BATTERY.

Just noticed, by your wording, and the way you made up the baking soda solution, then went back to the plastic cup, it appeared, or will at least appear to some like you put the baking soda solution in the battery. Question 1) you didnt do that, righr? 2) since the baking soda in the battery will neutralize the battery acid, Im very concerned some will make the mistake of putting the neutralizing solution (baking soda and water) into the battery, something that may ruin it. Am I the only one seeing this? Or did I misunderstand something? If I did misunderstand, are some viewers likely to do the same? Easy mistake to make so, if I'm right, no judgment here.
