    Well dang Mr Jan, I was hoping it would fire right up! The older generation here always said drop an aspirin in there to bring back a bad cell 🤔 Never tried it, I am like Mr Bryce been a long time since I have seen a liquid unsealed acid battery. Except for the 6 volts. Hopefully a good long charge will do the trick!! Thank you sir for the update!! Nice set of deeres there at the end!! Looking fwd to Tuesday!! Thank you Mr Jan!! 😁😁👍👍

      Hi Nelson, I really hope a long charge will do the trick since I have only a 4 amp charger, if an aspirin will help I will drop some in, I need to get it running to drive it out to pump the wheels, I see all four start to show signs of low pressure, also I want use the brakes, all gears, bearings, aircon etc thanks for watching my friend, I checked again on the parcel tracking, it show it is packed for outbound USA, Customs took extremely long, hopefully in a week or three it will be there, depending on how long customs on your side will take, it is nerve wrecking lol

    After you charge it, A quick check with a hydrometer or load tester can tell you if the battery has gone bad. Hope it comes back to life!

    Haven't seen a battery where I could add water lately. They've got away from that in the states.
    Is it true Guineas are a delicacy in South Africa ? Dad kept several ti defend chickens from predators, but we never ate the Guinea eggs, or fowl. Thanks Jan.

    • @jankotze1959

      We still have batteries that you can check the water but the most are sealed batteries, we can't buy Guinea-fowl eggs in the shops or meat but one the farms we do eat them, very nice meat meat Bryce, I have 20 of them sleeping in my yard every night but go out during the day to the wild and return in the evenings

      Henry we have big Cat 800Kva gennie on one Campus and a 500Kva on another, the one where the Condor is is the 800, when I am alone there (most of the time) I disable it to not kick in, I wait for two hours, the other far Campus where I am 4 days a week it kick in and run for the two hours load-shed,

    Hopefully the battery will take a charge for you. A new one will cost quite a bit more than it did 4 years ago...I was not happy when I had to buy one last fall.
