How to repair a 12 volt car battery using food grade Alum and baking soda for under 5 dollars

all right I'm going to be trying to do today is convert some of these old batteries that don't whole jar Jenny more like this one this one has not even a volt no oh two volts there / - to 32 volts 30 so basically nothing [Applause] [Music] screwdriver for this but I just grabbed this near me this is a battery from oh three still liquid in there

 yeah you know actually it's covering the fins though so I'm gonna do dump that in the bucket here don't wear good clothes when you do this if you get acid on them you're gonna have to wash them right away always the acid will eat right through




I mixed up some baking soda water it's uh eight ounces of baking soda liquid measure two gallon of water approximately that's done drain I'm going to dump this in there got pretty good ventilation in here otherwise you should do this outside you know coming off that other big door I got too big I got it outside now I get a funnel yeah the funnel you [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] you really bubbles [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] use almost half gallon already pretty much it was like I got the fins covered now p

lease like bubble a while and then drain it this all right here's barely bubbling at all ya know so there's a stop bubbling and it's just got that baking sort of water in there right now I wanted to show you though hit like seven volts just with that baking soda water little over seven I hit eight my terminals need cleaning with like eight seven eight volts I'm gonna dump this low and put gonna mix up some eight ounces of a loom to a gal in the water and put that in there for some bear instance a little bit more with the baking soda water

[Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] he's up the other half kill her so I got left to this you [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] you alright i rinsed it out once more with just plain water and dumped it and I've let drip for a little while now now I did the 8 ounces of liquid measure a loon into water mix it up good so it's all mixed you know like half build this with water then mix it up you all similar colored Oh starting off with well seven and a half full something like that 7.5 I just cleaned up the battery terminals on here fairly well use one of these little devices has little pins in there just put it on you spin it and it cleans off the corrosion

 that's fairly good job just like that yeah Chester so hook this up one more time seven point six so about the same reading thought it might help to clean those more and I cleaned them some before oh this is 12 volts there's a three amp charger with a nice slow charger look at him I don't know if you can see the little needle moves a little bit over here yeah that's about three amps it's charging at three amps right no I think that's how you read it so tomorrow this will move down as it charges he'll go down to zero if I remember right that means it's charged sartre now it's charging at three amps pretty sure all right guys it's been not quite 24 hours since I started charging that

 and remember it was up at 3 now it's down below 1 now you can see that bull won a game on Raw after about an hour that it had been charging and we did have one little problem I had over floated a little bit so it was coming out from the charge was bubbling it and it was overflowing so that's where this came from this watery face here it's it's blow freezing out here anyhow I put it down on the ground and I dumped out the excess made it even over all the fins and after that I didn't have a problem it's been charging see there I just dumped out the extra remember this is non-toxic now because it's just a loom water basically pickling water well yeah anyhow so it's been charging overnight like I say it's down to one on the charger I'll grab my tester and see what we're looking at [Applause]

people see that or not thirteen point four volts this over 13 volts so that shouldn't have a charge on it no you could see that or not thank you maybe heyhow 13.4 tell you what I got I get the mail alright take this and throw it in the truck let's see if you'll start the truck I mean it is a deeper cycle it's not really for starting a vehicle but we'll see if it even cranks it or anything oh the truck I got a nice gel orbital battery in there there's a one we just did you know changed over to alum battery throw this one it's new bill start don't have really high hopes [Music]

first let's freaking cold you know it's below freezing quite a bit Charlie 20 degrees maybe a little colder your little batteries are nice I like [Applause] [Music] [Applause] taller hopefully the sorry but of course the battery on the camera went dead just as as I was getting done putting the battery in there I think you know the orbital batteries out gel fill we got our new pickle spicy spelled by Henry in there about terminals on pretty good bring you over here you should be able to hear it start but also might be able to see the fans spin here give her a try [Applause]

 well here you going fricken started when that thickens pickles face battery charges overnight [Applause] that's the same battery I'm not trying to trick your muffin like that I just came out of the shit brighter over here put it in I don't have another battery that looks like it although I don't think I can shut the hood I think the batteries too Paul looking at to call I don't think it I think it's gonna shut now it's hip I can shut the hood you know just to show you that it works that's pretty cool poor I can't believe it there you go man it works Wow very cool 30 before I'm sure of it now it wouldn't take a charge before I just showed you all that this is a shit battery before it wouldn't we'll do it even if it was a good battery before come on we just replaced all the good shit out of it with pickling salt charged it and it started a truck okay come on baby at all this is that battery when tickling places the market works okay I'm sorry I'm I didn't think it started truck that's awesome very awesome we have to do this to work do some other batteries I got try it see if I can do it the next one I'll try start well try to charge first and try to start something with and also you get the you know of that whole picture but I mean still it's fucking I didn't I thought it'd probably work my think is working this good that's crazy alright I took it back on the truck cuz it won't you know can't shut the hood cuz it's too tall battery Oh the test is voltage now you know after starting the truck I only ran it for those few minutes or whatever [Applause] thirteen point two five is still that's pretty good I mean I think we're at thirty at four five that could even yes it has gone down much from starting the truck there you know surprise it could even start the truck that's pretty sweet and put little charger back on it for now and yes we'll go to the next battery after this charge went up to one and a half for charging so whatever that means this means it's charging I guess [Applause]
