How To Repair The UPS Battery

[@alexanderangelov7325]

Very good! I like it! This electrician have his own style!

[@LetsRockNrolll]

When a UPS bettery leaks, what does it look like? What color is the material? Thanks

[@andreyboiko1647]

how long does this uninterruptible power supply last if it will work from a car battery, how do you?

[@Smart-Skippy]

Safety Tip... To anyone who is going to make this... Car batteries, gas-off when being charged... Hydrogen. Hindenburg... I've done this mod but I drilled a hole in the wall and ran the battery... OUTSIDE ! Your insurance company wont like you burning down your house. Use the shortest cable length you can and make sure you use big cables. To avoid voltage drop. Also, I'd suggest drilling a 6.5mm (1/4") hole through the battery post (Perpendicular to the post... put another way, from one side to the other) but do this outside... again, hydrogen is very flammable ! Try to cover the battery to stop debris ... and secure the terminals with a nut, bolt and star washer. The home made clamps Victor used are cheap and fast to make, but he is good with his hands... If you do it this way , youare at risk of arcing if bumped. Boom, you are dead. Spaciba +Victor V. ! Nice video, sir. Your English is good and you are obviously smart, educated or both.

[@strange1ization]

Great response! DumbSkippy LOL

[@DoitselfInfo]

You have not right to say that what I do is dangerous. When the battery is not under load for a long time, then there is no explosive gas and no danger of explosion.

[@Smart-Skippy]

+strange1ization Thanks so much for the positive feedback. I'm glad you found my input, beneficial. Cheers, DumbSkippy

[@Smart-Skippy]

+Victor V. I think you misunderstood what I said and meant. I never said what you do is dangerous. No, No, No... We have a responsibility to protect others from danger. You and I know about this, but less skilled people will not know of the dangers. I am a qualified Electronic technician... and a Mechanical Fitter. I suggested different connections to the battery, because of the risk of a spark... at the source of venting Hydrogen!!! Also because most people, wont have a piece of steel bar at home and wont get a good connection, which would require the exact curve to match the diameter of the battery pole. This would mean the electrical load at point of contact to the battery post would be at the edge of the steel bar and one point of the curve... and that is if the curve is not twisted (Spiral) when made. Victor, I have every right to comment, especially if I am an expert and sir... I am an expert. Firstly I said "Spaciba +Victor V. ! Nice video, sir. Your English is good and you are obviously smart, educated or both." Then I said "Victor u... is good with his hands..." I am 100% correct about Hydrogen. All wet-cell, lead-acid car batteries produce Hydrogen when being charged. Hydrogen is the gas that both burns easily and can explode when ignited. I hope you feel more comfortable with my suggestions, understanding why I have added my tips to your video comment. At least one person is happy with my suggestions... Look ! +strange1ization Great response! DumbSkippy LOL Spaciba tovarich. !!!

Hi, is the drill used here Bosch 24V 1,5Ah? If so, which power adapter did you use to make it work? I tried to convert mine, but with the 24V 300W output from the power adapter it runs very poorly. Curious how you made yours work

[@randalsurjoobhalee9116]

Why does the water comes out when charging the battery?

[@pedroads7683]

what water u need repair battery dear?

[@DoitselfInfo]

This is distilled water. Instructions written on the battery normally.

[@GabrielKozsar]

Do you expect that the UPS will be able to charge that ~70Ah battery ? It's designed to charge batteries which fit the UPS. Charge current is set to the battery size it fits. This way it will charge that ~70Ah battery for weeks if not longer. Good for one time use.

[@DoitselfInfo]

I think that it is necessary to install a fully charged battery. A fully charged battery consumes a small current.

[@axonis2306]

Yes, of course it can charge a larger battery. Where did you see it's 70ah ?

[@GabrielKozsar]

It's like 50Ah guessing from the size of it. Google a online calculator for the charge time. Theoreticaly ,say 50Ah charged by 1A will charge for 60h (with 20% efficiency loss). Depends also how the UPS's charging circuit is designed.

[@denniskalanzi7437]

+Kozsar do you know any modifications that can be made to a ups to enable it charge a 50 Ah battery?

[@GabrielKozsar]

Yes and No. :D Yes, you need to redesign the whole circuit. No,you better buy a bigger UPS , you end up saving a lot of money and energy.

[@deansettimi4570]

How low was the voltage on the battery?

[@fritzeyok]

which quantity of distilled water do you use on each cell of the battery?

[@edwin6294]

[@DoitselfInfo]

Such a design is undesirable.

[@adizivojevic8635]

[@RDSingh0]

You just added distilled water in some other videos they say to add Epsom salt in water. And is that true that distilled water starts boiling when you charge the batteries coz they are made to have gel instead of water? (They leak and damage the UPS) And is that also true that distilled water becomes sulfuric acid after some time in the batteries?

[@davidbolha]

Hellow Hi, Epsom salt is added to "wet cell" typed SLA rechargeable batteries. That would be your car battery.🙄 This is an AGM type of VRLA battery. Here you only add distilled water into each cell. To my experience it is best to under than to overfill.🤔 True. 😉

[@ralphdaher9560]

does it have to be lead accid battery water?

[@DoitselfInfo]

Yes, that is right

[@ralphdaher9560]

[@DoitselfInfo]

This is not recommended.

[@toad__sage]

[@DoitselfInfo]

You can get this in any large store where there is a department of auto parts. I bought distilled water in a super market. I pour this water into the flatiron.

[@garrygemmell5676]

Car battery - good idea!

[@Electronicview]

thank you for your video

[@rolandvos]

Great Victor...

[@billharris6886]

I have tried this on 5 sealed lead acid batteries so far and it hasn't been effective. All of the electrolyte is contained in the blotters between the plates. The electrolyte is purposely slightly underfilled by design to prevent leakage in the event the battery case becomes cracked. When refilling the water level, pure distilled water can only be used. I distill my own since the water marketed as distilled at stores can have an additive (like a small amount of salt or fluoride). Adding the correct amount of water is the most difficult part of this operation. Unfortunately, you can't see how much water the blotter needs by appearance. You want to only fill the blotter without having any standing water on top of the plates. When you charge the battery after the refilling operation, electrolyte (water and acid) will flow out of the blotter and rise above the plates (which is undesirable). So, if you added the correct amount of water, the blotter will only appear moist during charging, any more or less is undesirable.

[@BrassLock]

+Bill Harris : "Battery Desire" the blockbuster movie coming to a theatre near you!! Thrilling story of long lost desirable battery. See the undesirable battery drinking too much water. Watch a most desirable battery soak a blotter. Yes, this is the movie for you!!

[@SVthings.9]

can we use water it can work or not

[@akshaysomanimusic8016]

Sir can i use normal distilled water? Or lead acid distilled water?

[@davidbolha]

Akshay Somani Normal.

[@hansonsux]

The plates in these batteries are thin. By design, they should get dry before the plates fail in some way. Doing these "repairs" can extend the life if the battery a little longer, not like new.

[@albertobaro3909]

It would be good if you use red for the other terminal.

[@jeep146]

For most batterys regular distilled water will work. Tap water is never a good idea as it often has a lot of impurities. A low cell lets say in a car battery while starting or charging can cause an explosion. I had one blow the top off of one and acid went everywhere. Wear eye protection if you don't want to be blinded.

[@DoitselfInfo]

I hope that you are not talking about me. I use distilled water and the battery may explode if you charge the battery and allow a spark when removing the conductor.

[@jeep146]

Really anybody working around batterys. I worked around batterys for years never had a problem. One day I started a generator which had four full size batterys. I heard a click then boom just like a shot gun going off. If I had been near it I would of had acid all over me. When I worked on aircraft I found one overheating, I had gloves it was still hot as a frying pan and ran down the stairs with it. It wasn't the charger the battery just went bad. I urge everyone to respect these little electrical bombs.

[@bhavylalwani4887]

Your video helped me so much thank you batti

[@DoitselfInfo]

I was hoping for it. Good luck.

[@GabrielKozsar]

There is one "little" problem. By adding distilled water to the battery you won't help it, only if the battery was boiled to oblivion (improper charging) and off gased the water. Because the "sulfuric acid" is on the plates sulfated, you end up with battery filled with water or more diluted electrolyte. You have to get the plates clean of sulfation ,if it's heavily sulfated, to get back the capacity. You can measure the specific gravity of the electrolyte which tells you..... I have done it. ;) cheers

[@DoitselfInfo]

Some masters recommend to refill distilled water + electrolyte, 50x50 %. The electrolyte degrades with time usually.

[@axonis2306]

You can't measure the specific battery in an AGM electrolyte because you can't draw liquid.

[@GabrielKozsar]

+Victor masters ??? lol. distilled water is ok , if it evaporated = the battery was overboiled...adding H20 is not enough if the battery suphated.. You must DE-sulphate the plates by special charging process ! It's called equalization charge. Adding +electrolyte (acid) into a sulphated battery is a temporary short fix until the battery sulphates even more and the cells are killed by too high impedance. The electrolyte does not degrade by any means , only the water can escape when it's boiling by pushing current which is not absorbed. Acid remains in the cell, on the plates, or in the electrolyte. (wikipedia) In the discharged state both the positive and negative plates become lead(II) sulfate (PbSO 4), and the electrolyte loses much of its dissolved sulfuric acid and becomes primarily water. +Axonis sure, only from flooded ones

There are several tips for doing a pro job do not attempt to do this until you know what you are doing - the acid can burn your skin check the voltage first - there may be a kaput cell which would be a waste of time trying to fix.

Achtung: Alle USV-Batterien enthalten äusserst explosive Knallgase und Schwefelsäure, welche schwerwiegende Verbrennungen und Ätzungen hervorrufen können. Auf diesem Video werden keinerlei Vorsichtsmaßnahmen getroffen und Verletzungen sind vorprogrammiert. Ein neuer Akku mit 24 Monaten Garantie kostet beispielsweise (12V 7Ah - wie im Video dargestellt) Eur 23,50 + Eur 7,70 Versand. Ob sich hier das Risiko lohnt?

[@DoitselfInfo]

Batteries can explode even with all safety precautions. My battery didn't explode, so my safety is good.

[@mvssarma3387]

after filling water,the battery would internally start fuming after charge,pushing the rubbers that close. Slowly the UPS circuitry starts getting acid corrosion,IMHO. Instead,if we can get hands on to a jelly that the battery makers use. I suppose we could improve on the repairs. thanks sarma vu3zmv

Boiled water will have a bad effect on the battery. You can use boiled water if you cannot find distilled water.

No, that would be even worse than tap water. Boiling it just concentrates whatever minerals it has dissolved in it. Rain water would be a lot better.

[@matthewhughes4062]

DovahkiinYT the electrolyte is not what holds the electrical charge. It is the lead plate that holds the charge. And by design these batteries which are Valve regulated lead acid (VRLA) do require the correct pressure internally to operate correctly. Also the amount of water that he has added to the cells would dilute the electrolyte too much. They only require a small amount of electrolyte in these which would have been absorbed by the lead plate during recharge It will all be pushed back out of the positive plate and mixed with the water he has added bringing the electrolyte specific gravity well below the 1300 it's supposed to be.

You can restore the battery if the plates is not destroyed.

Measure the voltage with a 5A load. If the voltage drops significantly, either electrolyte mixture is incorrect or damaged plates.
