HOW TO REPAIR A DEAD BATTERY AND EXTEND ITS LIFE | LEAD ACID AGM GEL WET DESULFURIZTION PULSE CHARGE

[@briantack2058]

Amazing. I didn't know that you could get to the cells in this way. I have just successfully rejuvinated an old battery and saved money. Cells were very dry. Thank you.

[@michaelmedicworldoftanks33fps]

After first 2 charges and no light I felt disappointing ☹️ but when you put 70ml water and light showed up a little bit I was like 👀🤔 and then when light started getting stronger and brighter I jumped from happiness 👻🤩👍

best video i could find using this charger. the music makes it all more enjoyable to watch.

[@geneallen5294]

Best video I've seen on battery chargers.

[@altomar718]

Great video - made me glad I bought this charger ! 0 Thanks for taking the time to make it - Chris (UK)

[@futureaceone3971]

Very well done video explaining how to use this charger and how effective the charger can be. Including the relevant instruction page for each step you took adds a lot. A question: the six year old battery where you broke the top to expose the small caps. Was that a supposedly "sealed" battery? If so, I assume that it was not designed to be refilled and recharged and repaired the way you demonstrated. So you took a battery that would have been thrown in the bin and gave it new life? Bravo!

[@SKILFULLIFE]

As per manufacturer's instruction, we have to throw it in a recycle bin. But this is like we make an antique car to run for few more years.

[@aquarius9909]

Another great video. Keep it up. Unfortunately you can not add water to gel batteries. How much remaining capacity has the repaired 30 Ah battery ? Real test would be to discharge with 1.5 A constant current and see how many hours can perform? compared to the factory rating 30Ah / 20Hr

[@sandplasma]

Conclusion: Make sure the batter you're trying to fix has distilled water before you do anything.

[@airlynx99]

Thanks so much for your video! Found it because I had just received exact same charger and also trying to restore dead sealed 12v. I'm only getting 0.2V from my battery though and when I connect the device it just flashes the battery symbol and never enters pulse mode or DFS. Just pried it open and found the caps but not sure how much good that will do if I am getting no current from the charging device

[@johndooley8837]

Some chargers will not start to charge unless the battery has some voltage output. You can get it to start by attaching the charger to the dead battery and then using booster cables to connect another good battey to the dead battery for a couple of seconds to fool the charger into starting.

[@martinez1701a]

Try tapping the battery on the ground to knock down any debris that might be shorting it. Repaired a battery that did just that, just a few quick taps on the floor pulsed it for 24hrs and now it takes and holds a charge for at least two or three days.

[@christosx13]

Is this an AGM sealed battery? Mine shows 12,7v but not crank(5 yrs old). 70 ml water to each cell isnt too much for a dry - maintenance free battery - that is supposed to not have extra liquid out of the sponges or it will absorb - evaporate?

[@SKILFULLIFE]

Gel type sealed battery. The excess water after absorbed completely by the cells will evaporate. But, there should not be too much water.

[@christosx13]

@@SKILFULLIFE oh ok. So mine is 12V AGM vrla (YUASA 10,5 Ah 180 cca) can i add some distilled water or some acid+distilled water from another totally desd car battery and how many ml per cell? Will it give a few ambers more? I have pulse chargers too.Thanks

[@SKILFULLIFE]

Fill with just distilled water and top up 0.5 cm above the cells' level. Let it set for 5 mins and if it still needs more water, fill it for the same level (0.5 cm above the cells' level), and start charging.

[@HumbleBearcat]

AGM batteries are much different than normal acid batteries. Make sure you add the right stuff.

[@christosx13]

@@HumbleBearcat i just added only 5ml distilled water per cell and charged and discharged until 11.8 v and charged again around 3-4 cycles. The battery got stronger and restored capacity. In a load tester konwell kw600 shows good battery 176/180 cca and remain calm at 12.75 V. With my flashlight in the holes i can see the plates still look like new and the battery is almost 5,5 years.

[@cnnrotatingsquare3141]

if the battery is sulfated, will it tell you that or do you have to manually set the charger to repair and it will repair on its' own after the charge cycle ends ?

[@SKILFULLIFE]

It won't tell what to do. It'll automatically start with desulfurization cycle.

[@wadj55]

​@@SKILFULLIFE Pelo que vi no seu vídeo no manual, fala que a desulfatação é apenas 5 minutos, não tem como deixar mais tempo nesta opção?

[@carloslourenco5588]

Hello... Good information 👍... Quick question... White running the repair mode (pulse) can the battery stay connected to the car/motorcycle?... Or is it wise to disconnect the battery terminals off the car/motorcycle, so it won't fry the vehicule electronics?... Thanks.

[@SKILFULLIFE]

disconnect the battery terminals off the car.

[@rodericksullera347]

Distilled water lang ba ang kailangang pang refill hindi na kailangan ng battery solution?

[@magnofreddie]

Very good tips. Thanks for sharing

[@REDLINERUNNER]

I'm using GEL type so can't really do that, and my charger doesn't have defulfication function...

[@911Dox]

Model 201, from the company Nexpeak 201 does work with gel batteries and has the desulphurization process too.

[@josemedeiros007]

Interesting video, but I would have preferred a verbal narration rather then the background music. Using repair mode probably raises the voltage level to 16 volt spikes like a Noco Genius 5 and 10 or CTEK charger uses when doing a repair or reconditioning, which can boil off electrolyte.

[@vsvnrg3263]

he probably cant speak english.

[@cnnrotatingsquare3141]

does it work on lawn mower batteries ? Amazon says in their description it works on lawn mower batteries, having to charge my automobile for a dead battery that is reconditioned. Hoping it will recharge it during these cold spells we're having right now. Cold, then a hot warm up. It's taken it's toll on the battery itself.

[@SKILFULLIFE]

It works on lawn mower batteries too.

[@cleshejoseph4833]

Hallo i have a 100ah agm deep cycle battery when fully charged my battery is 13.6v but as soon as i put a load it drops to 11v will you method work for my battery i did see my battery is also dried up inside please help

[@SKILFULLIFE]

Add some distilled water and wait for 10 minutes, see the water level, if it needs more water, add more until it stays on the right level. Then connect the battery charger and start with repair cycle, also leave the caps off. Once the repair cycle is done, it will automatically start charging cycle.

[@cleshejoseph4833]

@SKILFUL LIFE i did so and my batteries is like new thanks 😊

[@TheCharmido]

For the car , how much hours? Pls 5:46

[@SKILFULLIFE]

For 100 Ah battery, 10 to 15 hours depend on the charge level of the battery.

[@TheCharmido]

@@SKILFULLIFE thanks a lot 👍🏼 That’s help :)

[@meditationsuitemusic2355]

Very useful video. Thanks for sharing!

[@arunausitha242]

I had a foxur one. Same as this. I have a motorcycle battery just like this. It's showing 12v in multimeter and drops to even 0v when trying to crank up the motorcycle. When I connect that battery to foxur one it says battery is fully charged. I want to know that will this one works for batteries like that?

[@SKILFULLIFE]

Try to fill the battery with distilled water and run the repair cycle before you charge the battery.

[@richardlouie2922]

You may have to run the repair cycle multiple times with a discharge cycle in between each repair cycle. The repair cycle stops once the battery has been overcharged to approx 15.85V so if the battery is already 'full', the charger will stop the repair cycle early.

[@divikumar5475]

The first thing you should've done is added the distilled water

[@andremartinez5127]

Yeah I think that's what he was showing as in steps for repairing. Sometimes repair can work but the next step is open and fill

[@guillermodavrieux5552]

para baterias de 8 volts y 170 A de ciclo profundo hay alguna alternativa como esta ?

[@SKILFULLIFE]

Not for 8V batteries. But, if you connect three 8V batteries in series to make a 24V battery pack, you can use this charger.

[@mickoespanillo6735]

How long does it take to repair a battery?

[@SKILFULLIFE]

about 2 hours

[@ionutvilichi8265]

For hollywood gel battery that has votage but no cranking amps

[@אייליחכמון]

can i use it on a 18v lion battery ?

[@SKILFULLIFE]

It is not designed for li-ion batteries.

[@jarosawmaliszewski4423]

This is better than foxsur 8A ?

[@SKILFULLIFE]

Yes, it is 10A.

[@richardlouie2922]

The 10A has more available current to charge the battery but most people will rarely use that as the 10A is really only available for charging if the battery is close to empty. However, the 10A does have a desulfation mode which the 8A doesn't. IMHO, while the desulfation mode is included, it may not run long enough to do much good. Besides, according to a white paper on high-frequency pulse charging (ie the repair mode), that does desulfate batteries rather effectively as well.

[@m.g.540]

have the same charger, I put it to the test on six bad batteries, it did absolutely nothing for them , all six were not improved at all in any way, my wallet was lighter than it was before I bought this charger, the only thing it did accomplish, absolute rubbish, it can only charge at a low amp rate, the repair mode just nonsense, it does nothing at all.

[@SKILFULLIFE]

Did you fill the batteries with distilled water before you run the repair cycle?

[@911Dox]

This only happens to mindless imps who don't know how to complete the ENTIRE process to save old batteries. It's not just plug in and wait for a miracle. If it was that easy, Trump would still be president of the USA and all of his moronic, self absorbed neophytes who hopped on his bandwagon just to get likes on Facebook left by other neophytes who bent over to grab their ankles as Trump assumes the position as he gleefully dropped his trousers while singing "This is how I make America great again, one asshole at a time."

[@losr.o2854]

@@911Doxyou tell that truth!!

[@aaronholcombe2963]

If it doesn't recognize your battery attach charger to a charged working battery and that battery to the dead one. The magnetic flux created by dipole antenna which your battery charging acts on the aether around it also turns on your dead battery by cold energy from the air around it allowing it to complete the circuit from magnetic cold energy flow from aether
