*This battery reconditioning program exceeded my presumptions. It worked on any drill battery, several AA and AAA batteries, **batery.repair** and any camera battery. The steps are simple and the act itself is exciting to do. No matter what type of battery you`ve got, it is sure to function again!*
When cleaning the tops of the batteries, I always plug the holes with rubber stoppers to keep the cleaner out of the internals of the battery. Has always worked well for me.
I keep forget why the terminal keep getting corrosion and came here to refresh my memories, but at the same time got info how to properly cleaned the battery too. Great info, thanks.
Thank you for taking the time to help people with their cars! I'm a lifetime electrical guy and I would like to add: Voltage doesn't flow, current flows. A lot of people like the water analogy, so let's use that. Voltage would be analogous to pressure and just assume whatever the device that requires Voltage, is already designed for that Voltage (pressure) too little or too much voltage to the device, can cause issues. However, current that flows to devices, can vary depending on certain factors. For instance, your stereo will use less current when the volume is low and more when the volume is high. Windshield wipers: less current on low than high, etc. You battery delivers more current (flow), through the cable, the more devices it's powering, could be: headlamps + radio + wipers + defrost. The alternator is wired in parallel to the battery, so it powers items, or shares the load, when the engine is running.
I know I’m 2 years late. But for a week now my battery has been having issues cranking. Every morning it takes a couple seconds to turn over. I looked at my battery and saw a lot of corrosion on my positive(RED) side but none on my negative (BLACK) side. Does that mean that I am over working my alternator? Because I drive about 1 hr round trip to my 2 jobs. It’s also hot and humid outside, so I have my A/C on full blast, I also use my Apple CarPlay to listen to audiobooks and music, as well as use my high beams at night to get from one job to the other.
Gotta admit at 77 years that a red headed stranger could teach me anything about battery maintenance that I didn't know. Duh... Best presentation ever! Thanks.
This is a great video! So informative and detailed yet easy enough for someone with little experience to understand. I especially appreciate the explanation of the causes of corrosion. The fact that I have corrosion on the positive terminal and the illustration of the need to take the battery out helped me decide to wait 2 days and get my voltage regulator checked vs. tackle the cleaning myself. Thanks for the helpful content!
I never heard of corrosion of the different terminals due to different over or under charge conditions. That’s interesting. Very cool test with the LED bulb to show the small current drain on the top of the battery! I never saw that before, which really makes you think about keeping the battery clean! Excellent video overall!
I love seeing your videos! I need to do the cleaning of my battery terminals, but just because of how fun and informational this was, I even want to show my fiance! Thanks guys!
Great video! I've been doing my own auto maintenance since the '70s and I learned several new things from your video. The only improvement I could suggest is to add timestamps.
Excellent Video Thanks. Had I followed the instructions of some other videos I would have just lazily poured the baking soda and water mixture on the terminals. Your video explains why this isn't a good idea!
Superb presentation. Well written, edited, narrated, and good cam work. I haven't finished watching it yet. Just finished doing the voltage meter testing. Thank you.
Very professionally presented Very knowledgeable Taught me something that I never knew and that is the voltage leakage on the battery top. The over and under charging indicator is also very new to me I am going to inspect my battery and cables tomorrow Thank you very much
One observation that I made was as the battery nears its END OF LIFE their increased off gassing from the battery and subsequently the top of the battery is "moistened" with acid from the battery and the corrosion increases at an alarming rate on both terminals but mostly on the positive terminal.
Great info! I've been cleaning the terminals about 2 or 3 x a year and it never had much corrosion. But now doing some winter prep, I've got some blue build up corrosion. Cleaned it and going to have it checked further soon.
My 2017 Titan XD had trouble starting! Neighbor came over and checked it out and pointed out there was a lot of corrosion on the batteries. Cleaned it up and works good.
This was great. Got a new battery yesterday. Terminals were very corroded. I thought the guy did everything necessary when replacing it, but the battery died again. So I get to get up early tomorrow and use what I learned here to clean those terminals. He tested the starter and alternator and said they tested fine.
Thanks for the video. I've never seen the meter on the plastic before. I was surprised to see voltage. I just tested mine and got a reading. Also tested with a probe on a terminal and another on the plastic and got 8V 😮 Now it's all clean and reading 0V, thanks to your video 🙂
My dad was a NY certified mechanic and all around petrol head, who also owned a gas/repair shop. Dialectric grease is good, however you can also simply apply vaseline around the battery terminal and leads before reattaching everything. Seems to last 2-3 years here in the NE, which is probably about when one would need to do some basic PMCS on a battery anyways. Since I have Permatex Anti-Seize, I use that which also works very well.
I so enjoyed the theatrics of your training & it made a difference totally. Gotta have fun with knowledge & sharing it. I will be attempting to clean my battery today. Question: why didn't you clean the area where the battery sits on-it was very dirty? Felt like you should it up after cleaning the battery so nicely. Thanks
Thank you for the extra knowledge. Battery in my car never does this but my F-150, the one with all the brains (😁) , has given me issues with corrosion on the positive post. You're very thorough and easy to learn from. 👍
If u flip that flat plate on universal on neg terminal, 'mountain' bump becomes a 'valley' bump & cable will fit tighter. Moisture on top is ALSO from overfilling cells w/water. Fill enuf to cover plates but BELOW Delco eye, this allows for expansion. Jst keep battery clean & DRY. Jst sayn.👍
Great job! Only ? Do the freshly cleaned terminals need to be completely dry, before reconnecting them? Or if there is any moisture at all, isn't that a hazard? Also, when you reconnect the Battery, are you connecting the "positive" cable 1st, before the Negative? Ty 😊❤
Great content! This is my first time seeing battery cleaning at such a premium level! How do you properly dispose of all the liquids used to clean the battery? Thanks
One thing i may add is they make Felt anti- corrosion washers that go on the posts prior to attaching the cable clamps. Cheap Insurance to combat corrosion as well as high resistance shorts across the battery case if it gets dirty enough to allow a conductive path.
I've tried those and they didn't seem to do much. Got corroded anyway. I think it's because the battery is off gassing. The acid gets on the terminals regardless of whether there are felt washers.
About 9 years ago during an impending ice storm I replaced the 10kW backup generator battery with the only available battery left at Walmart. It was undersized and only had a one year warranty. It still works today; however, the terminals are badly corroded with alarming build up. Going to remedy that.
Thanks for the informative video. Dielectric grease is not conductive, though. It is an insulator. You shouldn’t put it on the terminal posts before hooking on the clamps. You should slather the entire connection in dielectric grease after you connect the mating surfaces.
Considering the safety precautions you're taking, why would you use a screwdriver, which is conductive metal, to pry open those caps? Just an observation. Never knew about the over/ under charge corrosion. Pretty neat
Excellent brief information got from this video thanks It will helpfull for all peoples who has no experience regarding battery problem and solution thanks well done
My lights went completely went out on my acura mdx. I check all fuses and I thought for sure i missed something. Ground cable was tight but it was a universal terminal that was not properly sealed. Bought a new ground cable and she fired right up!
Thanks for this. My car won't start, the battery has a bunch of corrosion. I just cleaned the corrosion using your tutorial. I haven't tested if it's gonna turn on again lol I'm a bit scared. Can I start the car right away or wait it out?
Awesome information!!! Answered my corrosion questions thoroughly bc I seem to be frequently seeing corrosion on my cable terminal-now I know why. Wondering if I’ve been getting low quality batteries. But where do I find the battery memory saver and what should it run?
I purchased a portable jump battery from harbor freight, besides jumping a dead car battery, it also has 5 volt USB outlets to charge your phone, and also two cigarette lighter type outlets to plug in your memory saver cord. Purchase the memory saver cord online or at your local car parts outlet, Auto Zone etc. The memory cord will plug one end into your OBD 2 connector, and the other end, a cigarette lighter plug, goes into your portable jump start battery.
AGM batteries for the win. Those old school top caps are corrosion masters. Hot water will neutralize and clean all that corrosion off. YES clean the top of the battery like he said too.
This answered why my negative post keeps building corrosion on my 2nd battery for car audio. I'm only in at 2 minutes. Now I'm scared lol but I needed the truth.
I put a new battery in my car last week, but I may have made a mistake. My vehicle is a 2011 Toyota Corolla S and the old battery had been put in in April of 2018. So it was getting close to the time to replace it. But the reason why I did it now is because early last week while I was checking the oil level, I saw a small amount of corrosion on the edge of the top of the battery right where the seam between the top and the side is. I thought at the time that the location of the corrosion indicated a crack or fissure right where that seam is. If that was the case, then the battery definitely needed to be replaced ASAP because it was going to keep on leaking hydrogen at the crack and there was no way to fix it. But I've seen several clips since then, including this one, that claim corrosion can appear on the edge of the battery, yet still originate from beneath the caps. I have no idea how or why that could happen, but if that's all it was, then the corroded area could have been cleaned with a rubdown of water and baking soda followed by a thorough drying of the area, and the old battery would have been good to go.
Great work here! appreciate the knowledge as well it answers many "why?" Questions. and even going as far as showing us the work is awesome appreciate this content please continue to create more
Awesome video. Would you show us how to fix the voltage regulator? My truck is a 2015, corrosion on the positive terminal, I do go on really long drives that it might over charge. But I didn’t think it would do that with a proper voltage regulator. Maybe it’s bad. Idk. Thank you in advance.
My car sometimes doesn't start unless I shake my battery, other times it starts perfectly fine. You think that would have to do with corrosion or a bad connection? I don't see anything blue on the top of the positive or negative caps. Thank you for your time, great video 🤙🏾👍🏾
When electricity passed through dissimilar metals “Galvanic Corrosion” begins. The most active metal will corrode at an accelerated rate. Traditional battery connectors are lead, with the locking device made of steel/zinc, dissimilar metals. Gator Loc™ is constructed with no exposed dissimilar materials, leaving no possibility for corrosion.
I was hoping a better explanation of how to use dielectric grease would have been mentioned. Dielectric grease is an *insulator*, so it's very important that the contact areas don't have any on them. It was done right, but there was no mention of what would happen if done incorrectly. You could melt down your battery terminal if there's dielectric grease between the post and the connector while trying to turn it over.
This is very good knowledge video and Thank you. I have one question about Ignition & battery sealer and battery terminal protector. Are they the same products? Can i use battery terminal protector instead of ignition & battery sealer or dielectric grease?

I'm a lifetime electrical guy and I would like to add: Voltage doesn't flow, current flows. A lot of people like the water analogy, so let's use that.

Question: why didn't you clean the area where the battery sits on-it was very dirty? Felt like you should it up after cleaning the battery so nicely. Thanks
I keep an old tooth brush in my tool box just for this purpose. It works great at cleaning up those terminals with the baking soda and water
Tap , warm or hot water?

Great tip, and great way to repurpose old items instead of throwing them away! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-Now
boiling water to clean and copper grease to protect have done that for 40 odd years allways works and no problems
Me too
How would you recommend disposing of cleaning fluid (water-baking soda) that's been used?

Very good learning video, THANKS. But I guess that everybody forgot what to do with the leftovers of water with corrosion. Where did you dump it.????
This was the best and most informative video i have found on battery care ! Love the humor Thank you !
thanks for the clear and thorough 60fps video! iits always a treat to see how to do things nice and clearly like this.
Excellent video very informative, learned a few things like there could be voltage from one end to the other on the outside vent!
Best battery video i have viewed.
The best battery service video
Glad i saw this before starting. All the videos i saw said to just dump a baking soda slurry all over the top while everything was still connected
The most thorough on this topic. Thank you.
Thats how its done
Simply explained ! Way to go !
Great job! Only ?
Do the freshly cleaned terminals need to be completely dry, before reconnecting them? Or if there is any moisture at all, isn't that a hazard?

Thx man, the most accurate and precise tip about cleaning battery corrosion. You helped me a lot.
This guy is awesome! Learned a lot from this video. Thank you!
Thanks for the informative video. Dielectric grease is not conductive, though. It is an insulator. You shouldn’t put it on the terminal posts before hooking on the clamps. You should slather the entire connection in dielectric grease after you connect the mating surfaces.
Excellent video. Clear instructions and explanations are very helpful.
The most flamboyant mechanic I have ever seen.
Seriously...gayer than a $2 bill
Considering the safety precautions you're taking, why would you use a screwdriver, which is conductive metal, to pry open those caps? Just an observation. Never knew about the over/ under charge corrosion. Pretty neat
Excellent brief information got from this video thanks It will helpfull for all peoples who has no experience regarding battery problem and solution thanks well done
You broke this down in such a simple and useful way for people who aren't mechanics to understand! This is an excellent guide.

Thanks for this. My car won't start, the battery has a bunch of corrosion.
I just cleaned the corrosion using your tutorial. I haven't tested if it's gonna turn on again lol I'm a bit scared. Can I start the car right away or wait it out?
Thanks I just did the maintenance a while ago. Was a breeze
He is saying “Verical” right? Great video.
Veer the vehicle vertically Vern.
Good teacher! You actually left no stone unturned
He didn't quite explain why to remove the negative terminal first and connect it last.
Great information..thanks...didn't know about the under charging on the negitive terminal.
Awesome information!!! Answered my corrosion questions thoroughly bc I seem to be frequently seeing corrosion on my cable terminal-now I know why. Wondering if I’ve been getting low quality batteries. But where do I find the battery memory saver and what should it run?
I purchased a portable jump battery from harbor freight, besides jumping a dead car battery, it also has 5 volt USB outlets to charge your phone, and also two cigarette lighter type outlets to plug in your memory saver cord. Purchase the memory saver cord online or at your local car parts outlet, Auto Zone etc. The memory cord will plug one end into your OBD 2 connector, and the other end, a cigarette lighter plug, goes into your portable jump start battery.

Shit cable maybe
23:55 Dielectric grease does NOT conduct electricity
Vericle? Vehicle? I'm new to this channel is this just something he does?
What is the solution to over charging or under charging? Replace the voltage regulator?
When putting the battery back in does it matter which terminal you put on first?
