Yessir I don’t edit nothing out lol!!! There are those that have had negative things to say like I was boring or doing it wrong but if it gets good results then it’s not wrong!! However this battery in the video was in fact a bad battery, I have done 3 so far like this & the other 2 are doing great cranking!!!
Lead acid batteries are properly and correctly filled when the electrolyte (the water/ acid mix) is approximately 1/8th of an inch above the tops of the plates, any higher causes voltage bleed out and liquid expansion out of the fill holes as in this case when it expands due to normal plate heating and over time only being (over)refilled with distilled water alone meaning its acid percentage drops, many a battery has been rendered useless by over filling thus causing boil off of the electrolyte most battery failures and diminishing charge retention are a result of the plate faces phosphating up over time lowering their abilities to tranfer ions to each other through the electrolite, and sluffed off lead oxide dropping off the plates and congealing on the floor of the battery where they sludge up and basically it continually shorts itself out meaning even a high amperage charge wont budge it. When a battery heats up under charging load it evaporates off the water....it loses barely any sulphuric acid - that mostly stays put...the bit that does however get out is what causes all that green and white shmoo on the battery connections ...that bubbling is actually highly explosive hydrogen gas which is being liberated from the H part of H2O(water) during the charging phase not as a result of epsom salts being added and was the reason you were coughing with stinging eyes, for the good of your continued health NEVER be tempted to use any kind of naked flame anywhere around where you can smell that gas ! but if the cells do over heat significantly due to massively high charge currents the plates can warp badly and buckle against each other causing a dead short the length of the battery and then it really IS game over for that particular battery the scam today is non servicable no fill batteries.........that way you cant service them and HAVE to junk them and buy another which pleases the manufacturers no end . by the way the charging process DOESNT "create" sulphuric acid THAT acid is pre installed diluted into distilled water at the correct percentage on first fill to act as its catilyser...hence why it is called ...a lead/ ACID battery. when fully charged it SHOULD read 13.5/13.6 volts, but the only way to really know if it is any good is with a deep draw discharge amperage test. its the amperage that does all the hard work not the voltage.....which is why they display the output in amps on the case. in future try to obtain a correct ratio acid/water mix first then lay the battery on its side and try to flush out all the shmoo on the case floor through all openings with a hose pipe for quite some time before drying and refilling it (one eigth above the plates remember) then charging it on a lower output.....try it and see.
That’s some very good information!! I only tried this because someone told me they tried it & it worked so there you go!! I’ve done 3 batteries so far & 2 out of the 3 are still cranking my mowers, I do have a so called maintenance free non serviceable battery that the same person told me what you just said about the manufacturer & why they say NON SERVICEABLE!! I’m gonna do a video on it when I get the chance!! Again thanks for the added information!!
@@hattcreekfarm My absolute pleasure my friend, as an automotive engineer for nearly fifty years it was just a part of my job, I wasnt calling you in any way shape or form, its just that chinese whispers and uneducated speculation seem to get real traction - I know a guy who knows a guy who's grandpa swears by, kind of thing, epsom salts are merely a kind of soda and may be beneficial in cleaning some of the crap off the plates - how much ??? I would be lying if I gave an amount. but I can say at least they dont cause any harm that I'm aware of, as I said try hosing out the inside of the battery (wearing sufficient protection obviously - sulphuric acid doesnt like people !) and try to come by some ready mixed battery fill - the acid content should be about three to five percent overall if memory serves me correctly, then charge it slowly on no more than a trickle charge, by the way I subscribed lol
@@usernamesreprise4068 I want to charge my Ebike batteries (6 - 72v 20ah) I watched a fews video's at first that used epsum salt & distilled water, most were to flush out and clean the batteries. Then I found a mechanic's video that demo's adding just distilled water nothing else however his technique is a bit different. He uses high cranking amps (200A) for 15 min. & then rest's the battery for 1 hour. He repeats this process 5x - 15min On - 1hr Off .. I don't have a charger that outputs 200A and I doubt many do, so I'm going to add just the distilled water, since there's a little acid left in the batteries, 1/8" above the plates' then use a trickle charger to charge them over night or 16hrs to 24hrs and see how that works. These deep cycle lead acid batteries are the same used on electric Forklift's and that's all we ever did was add the distilled water at the end of the shift and let it charge over night for the morning shift. THere is a pH tester you can use, I believe it was 4% but when they're being constantly filled it doesn't really matter testing them if the machine is running prop[erly.
Try adding the water to merely bring the cells to an equal level. Then dissolve the salt into your water bottle. THEN put it in your battery. I have never done this, but I heard that you can do it with a small amount of baking soda. Although baking soda is also used to neutralize battery acid. So I assume you would use only enough to trigger a chemical reaction.
Many years ago learned ago I found out how explosive car batteries can be, I had a freshly charged battery at my feet I was cutting steel with an abrasive cutter I had had a face shield on, I heard a loud pop finished cutting I found the top of the battery blown off, I had no injuries I lucked out.
i have seen folks do this in the past. and it takes a charge shows 12 volts. but when a load is put on it ,it dies so i will check to see if you are lucky and have a good battery
It does pretty good, it holds about 12.4 volts & cranks every time, I have done one other battery that didn’t do well but it’s because 2 cells were collapsed but have done 3 so far & 2 out of the 3 did good!!
I would have dissolved the Epsom salt into the water in the water bottle first, then added the solution to the battery with a small funnel. I'm not a chemist, but believe that by adding the Epsom salt, you're basically adding more sulfate ions to the liquid in the battery from the Epsom Salt (the SO4 in MgSO4). The original Sulfuric Acid in the battery also has the sulfate ions (the SO4 in H2SO4). I have a few dead batteries in my shop that I will try this on. Thanks for the video!
The recipe called for 1tsp of Epson salt per hole so I did it like that, as for the funnel I only had a big one thus the reason I used the spoon, funnel was bigger than the holes so more mess
i noticed no action in the cell at the positive terminal end, in my experience with batteries (20 yrs. ) that cell is bad check with a hydrometer, after the battery cools down
I usually fill each hole with 1 table spoon of Epson salt then put it on charge, watch for the ones that don’t start to bubble then add another spoon full until it bubbles, when you see bubble activity I let it charge overnight, then check it asap that mawnin, no this battery had a collapsed cell I’m assuming because the charger read BAD BATTERY when I went to check it
Apparently there are some folks who can’t read!!! I said keep your comments respectful or they will be removed!!! Listen to the video folks, I didn’t say that distilled & purified water were the same, I said that the big jug & what was in the bottle were the same, because I poured distilled into the small bottle because it was easier to pour from!! Some comments have been removed like I said they would be!!
What about the results ? What was the final voltage after doing the chemical additive and charging ? Were you able to place it back in the mower and show that it cranks like a charged battery?
This battery as I’ve commented in several replies, had a collapsed cell which resulted in it not holding a charge, but if you’ll read in these replies I stated that 2 others did great & are still cranking mowers!! Thanks for watching!! Please Subscribe!!

This was cool. Never tried the epsom salts trick so I might just have to do that next time.

I've also tried the battery repair setting on the charger but thats a hit or miss depending on the type of battery. Anyways, God bless you brother.
Yes I didn’t know that it was collapsed at the time but after it kept heating up on that side I googled I & it said collapsed cell!! They say that some batteries during shipping if they get banged around or dropped this is what the most causes them to collapse!!
Doin it incorrectly ! First drain battery upside down overbite put a box of baking soda in a gallon of di h2o soak in over nite shake it into a suspended solution fill up my batt let sit over night then drain bakin soda water out / take a pot heat up a gallon of di water 270 then dump in a package of Rodin salt stir into solution must desolve!

If your derp cycle battery holds a charge good there’s no reason to do this, only reason I did this was it wouldn’t hold a charge but I found out it had a cell collapsed
The problem is that this trick doesn't always work? often on worn batteries this don't work! People think it works because they don't have a good battery tedters and don't know the condition of the battery. The car battery is also not designed to run on this white

I’m sure it would but not sure, just going by what I’ve seen others do with what they had that I’ve seen work!! You can google it to find out, I don’t have all the answers, just following someone else’s advice!!!
@@hattcreekfarm I'm about a week into trying to restore a 12v deep cycle battery. 1st day was reading 1.8 volts and had a few bubbles in one cell. Now i can get it up to 9volts and there are 3 cells bubbling alot and the other 3 are just now starting to bubble a little bit. The metal inside the three cells that are boiling alot looks brand new and clean. The metal inside the other three cells still looks corroded. How long does it usually take to desulfate every cell? As long as the voltage slowly climbs higher, I assume that it is still progressing and desulfating.
I saw someone put something on UA-cam about desulfurization using baking soda but you pour all the acid/water whatever you want to call it out into a container or bowl big enough to hold it all then they poured in a mixture of water & baking soda sloshed it around in the battery (with the caps back on of course) then let it set for some time (don’t remember how long) poured the mixture out then flushed the battery out with the water hose & refilled the battery with poured out contents & charged it!! You can go to google type in how to desulfurization a battery or bring a old battery back to life using baking soda & see where that takes you!!

When a battery heats up under charging load it evaporates off the water....it loses barely any sulphuric acid - that mostly stays put...the bit that does however get out is what causes all that green and white shmoo on the battery connections
...that bubbling is actually highly explosive hydrogen gas which is being liberated from the H part of H2O(water) during the charging phase not as a result of epsom salts being added and was the reason you were coughing with stinging eyes,
for the good of your continued health NEVER be tempted to use any kind of naked flame anywhere around where you can smell that gas !
but if the cells do over heat significantly due to massively high charge currents the plates can warp badly and buckle against each other causing a dead short the length of the battery and then it really IS game over for that particular battery
the scam today is non servicable no fill batteries.........that way you cant service them and HAVE to junk them and buy another which pleases the manufacturers no end
. by the way the charging process DOESNT "create" sulphuric acid THAT acid is pre installed diluted into distilled water at the correct percentage on first fill to act as its catilyser...hence why it is called ...a lead/ ACID battery. when fully charged it SHOULD read 13.5/13.6 volts, but the only way to really know if it is any good is with a deep draw discharge amperage test.

I’m sure it would but not sure, just going by what I’ve seen others do with what they had that I’ve seen work!! You can google it to find out, I don’t have all the answers, just following someone else’s advice!!!
Thanks for watching
i thought is was suppose to be distilled water instead of regular water because of the minerals. I'm looking forward to trying this.
It is, I just poured the distilled water in the smaller bottle because it’s easier to pour in the holes
Thank you for the speech, and Amen
Thanks for watching
you just dump a bunch of salt in there?
No start with a table spoon full at a time to each hole then add more!!!
If you see no bubbles after a few add another spoon per hole
@@hattcreekfarm I'm about a week into trying to restore a 12v deep cycle battery. 1st day was reading 1.8 volts and had a few bubbles in one cell. Now i can get it up to 9volts and there are 3 cells bubbling alot and the other 3 are just now starting to bubble a little bit. The metal inside the three cells that are boiling alot looks brand new and clean. The metal inside the other three cells still looks corroded. How long does it usually take to desulfate every cell? As long as the voltage slowly climbs higher, I assume that it is still progressing and desulfating.
I saw someone put something on UA-cam about desulfurization using baking soda but you pour all the acid/water whatever you want to call it out into a container or bowl big enough to hold it all then they poured in a mixture of water & baking soda sloshed it around in the battery (with the caps back on of course) then let it set for some time (don’t remember how long) poured the mixture out then flushed the battery out with the water hose & refilled the battery with poured out contents & charged it!! You can go to google type in how to desulfurization a battery or bring a old battery back to life using baking soda & see where that takes you!!

Are you sure sulphuric acid is correct?
Was told the acid is stored in the cells so there’s no need to add more.
no followup video
It’s coming, I work doing several things so it’s hard to make videos preparing for hay season & work my regular job & do my hobbies!!
Amen look around at the world its crazy out here
Why not use a funnel to svoid spillage.
Have you got one that small? I don’t!!! That’s why I used the spoon!!!
It’s not an automobile battery, the holes are lots smaller on these small batteries
Omg what a plank dont forget your vinigar with your epsom salts 😂
This recipe didn’t call for vinegar
Ive got a deep cycle, I've been wanting to run my pump, gonna give it the ol' Lazarus treatment
@@au_gmentedreality it really works if the cells haven’t collapsed, some folks on here don’t know what it means to keep comment’s respectable & they will be removed, I don’t allow them on my channel!!

Grand pa taught me this epsom salt trick. I wish i could find a way to do this with sealed batteries, and agm. Thanks most of all for the bible verses. God bless sir.
You can prize the top off of maintenance free batteries with a screw driver or small pry bar what I’ve been told, just wear safety glasses & gloves & have a tube of silicone to reseal the top!! Might try this later & docs video

I study to show thyself approved. I went behind the Vail, and baptized myself. I am in the many membered body of Christ. I don't go to church the Bible spelled them out. He had 7 churches, 5 he snuffed out because they are nothing other than the sinaguages of Satan. He had 2 he liked and those were Smerna and Philidelphia they entertained and became 1. Hope you don't think you flying away. Put the gospel armor on and in place. Serve the purpose we are here for. 1st taken is by deception from Satan claiming to be God. Yes we are living in the last days of the 6 year creation. Warning it's happening as you read this Truth.
GOD BLESS HIM HE IS TRYING..... l.m.a.offff.😇😇
So slow,,,,,,,
@@DennisRoberson-m3b the process is slow!! Anything with batteries & acid is slow so you don’t get it where it doesn’t belong!!!
