I have tried ALL the methods to revive lead acid batteries over the last 55 years! Some of them helped a little most of them turned the battery into junk! I tried this method on my 3 year old motorcycle battery that lost two cells??? don't know why?? I always charge the battery on a tender for a week when removed in the fall and recharge again in the spring for a week prior to going back into service. I have yard equipment batteries that are 12-15 years old and continue to work like new! When I removed the "do not remove" cap string on the battery, I noticed it was bone dry! I took this procedure 1 step further and added batt acid to just cover the plates. The cells took between 20-30 cc's of acid each!! I used a 2 Amp charger, the start voltage was 10.50 V it stayed there for 3-4 hrs. when I had looked at the meter again the voltage was now 11.75 V it was a steady reading. 4-5 hrs later to my pleasant surprise it showed 13.05 Volts! Over night next morning I had 15.88V. I will tenter charge for a week and check the open ckt voltage after 24 hrs. $11.00 for acid to save a $150.00 battery! Thanks for sharing something that actually WORKS!!

Increasing the sulfuric acid concentration is detrimental to the performance of the battery, because more will remain as a precipitate and eventually crystallize. His gains probably could have been achived with just distilled water, but hey, that's ONE piece of content that doesn't exist anywhere on KZitem, maybe I should make it...but lead sulfate is nasty stuff.

Hi, When I was gainfully employed, I maintained emergency services radio communication systems in the Highlands of Scotland. Some remote installations employed 12 and 24v dc solar/wind systems... Here are some tips I learnt the hard way! (when your up a gum tree without a paddle) Most service techs carried a variable 24 volt 10amp bench power supply in their vehicles... When we found a dud 12 v battery that would not charge (open circuit)we would dismantled it as shown in the video... With a multimeter connected to the neg terminal.. the positive meter terminal was connected to a thin screwdriver ..the screwdriver was pushed gently into each hole to touching the cell plates, that should measure around 2volts then the next hole 4 volts and so on... increasing by approx 2 volts each time eventually you will find an open circuit cell (probably dry) top up with distilled water and let it soak for an hour ...Now replace the multi meter with the bench power supply and carry out the same process watching the current meter and adjusting the voltage to find the faulty cell causing the open circuit...Eventually current will flow between the positive and negative terminals...Now connect the variable power supply with a car headlamp bulb in series to limit the current ...Now crank it up to 24volts whilst watching the current meter gradually reducing the voltage to keep the current at around 2amps...Now charge the entire battery at 13.8 volts for a few hours (after topping up all the cells with distilled water) ... Finally replace the rubber caps and cover with a strip of gaffer tape... At the next planned visit we would normally exchange the battery.. PS always wear safety glasses when doing this work!

The real issue is if the battery plates are sulfated or not. If the plates are not sulfated adding distilled water will give you a usable battery. De sulfating with a welder is a little dangerous if you don't realize that the gas coming out of a sulfated battery is not so bad "UNTIL" it starts a rolling boil and realize that the fumes now smell like rotten eggs and burn your eye's. The chemical reaction takes place changing the liquid inside the battery. Remember too that the pre sulfuric acid phase is Hydrogen and Oxygen which is not dangerous BUT for the fact that it is highly explosive if ignited at the concentration close to the battery body. A fan and open area will avoid any issues there.

I jump two 6 volt batteries together and use one 12 Volt pulse tech unit. I have three PulseTech units hooked up to my golf cart while not in use.After using the golf cart, I will charge up the cart pack of six 6 Volt Trojan batteries with the big cart charger, ( EZGO Total charge III) then check the battery water level in each cell and reconnect the PulseTech Desulfators. They have brought batteries back from the dead I've picked up at my local NAPA scrap battery pallet also. Sulfuric Acid can be obtained at any plumbing supply that sells building products for septic systems and cess pools which are still around in country areas etc. Septic tank/cess pool pampers will add a 5 gallon pal of sulfuric acid to a pumped out cell pool to break up the "bio mat" at the bottom to open it up and allow it to drain. So point is, sulfuric acid is available at one of these types of supply houses if your in a country area.

I brought up a dead Costco interstate with a 20watt solar panel and the exact same solar charge controller used in this video connected directly to the battery. I did add some distilled water. The solar charge controller will charge the battery at exactly .1 volt (1/10 of a volt) higher than whatever charge is on the battery. I think it is better than using another battery to parallel charge. It did take over a week, but this 5 yr old battery was completey restored to something a only little less than new operating power. I also had a brand new non-Interstate car battery and it would only rate between 11.9 V- 12.2V depending how recently I drove the car. When brand new I treated that particular brand new battery to some extra electrolyte in the form of sodium sulfate salt (Na2SO4) which is supposed to quadraple battery life. This didn't make a difference in the performance of the battery with normal car alternator charging. Info from Turquoise Energy did tell me to cycle the battery, but lead acid are not deep cycle and I just relied on the alternator. (Although this sodium sulfate salt chemical is what they use on deep cycle lead acid). It is only when I left a 25w solar panel/$12 charge controller on the battery for a month or more, did I experience sustained higher than average charge levels. In fact, after that, when the car sat for 2 month undriven and uncharged in any way during covid and rain with the battery disconnected, the battery still held 12.5 volts: better than new!! Sulfation is reversible, corrosion is not. Extra electrolyte might help but, it is the trickle charge at the right voltage that makes the big difference. (It is not advised to put sodium sulfate salt into an old battery as it might cause bits to dislodge and short out the battery)

Great comment. Someone else had a similar story with a battery that refused to revive after mag. sulfate and pulse charging sessions. Spent a year on light shed led duty on a solar trickle charger and came back very close to new. Seems like desulfation can work but it can take a lot longer than people expecting to have an overnight fix for their ride's battery.

Good tips. I have a 5 AH battery which was bone dry and zero volts. Unknown age. Popped it open and added 1.25 mL acid per cell + water to top it off. Shook it around a bit to mix. Almost immediately it showed 7.5v. Now on a one amp trickle charger and slowly climbing in the charge current. Started out around 50 mA and already at 250 mA after running a while. The little trickle charger appears to be working fine without brute force jumpstart method required.

Hey would you be able to help me with my battery please? It’s been sitting for presumably 2 years, can I add 2ml of acid and top it of with water? And can I use my motorcycle’s alternator to charge it while I’m driving?

@@edoardo120 That might work but sometimes they get oxidized internally so it might not recover. 2 years is not that long so it may be fine. Mine was bone dry so if yours is mostly full you could try topping it off with just a little distilled water. I guess the amount of acid you add would depend upon that. For a bone dry 5 Ah battery, it was 1.25 mL acid per cell. If yours is rated at 10 Ah battery, then you would need 2.5 mL acid per cell (if it was bone dry). Otherwise it won't need as much, obviously. Yes, the motorcycle can charge it while running however it's better if you put it on a 12v trickle charger for a few hours before you try riding. You can always push start the bike too. Be careful about charging it too fast. 2 amp car charger should be fine. Just don't cook it to death on a 5-10 amp car charger. It will boil over.

@@nefariumxxx thanks, so how should I calculate the amount of acid needed for 12v 10ah battery? Is there a risk of putting too much acid? Amy safe and reliable way to do that?

@@edoardo120 If each cell is bone dry for that size, use 2.5 mL acid per cell and then fill the rest with distilled water. Wear eye protection and gloves to protect against splashing, outdoors when you do it. Careful not to make sparks when charging because the battery produced hydrogen which can explode. If your cells are not bone dry I would just try adding distilled water and seeing if it will take a charge.

Cheers for the Video clip! Sorry for butting in, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you ever tried - Lammywalness Trendy Trade Guide (search on google)? It is a great exclusive product for learning how to recondition batteries at home without the hard work. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my cooworker after a lifetime of fighting got cool success with it.

Great explanation, can't wait to try this! I also have a Victron Blue Smart IP22 Charger which would attempt to charge even completely discharged battery. I tested it already on my 18ah 12v battery that has a shorted cell the voltage drops to 10.4v soon after charging but it can be used and recharged. See what happens.

I don't know where you're from but your accent reminds me of Pauly Fuemana, the Singer from OMC that did the song How Bizarre. Great video by the way. I was just in the shop about to recycle an old SLA battery from my generator and I was like, this thing's only been used half a dozen times. I bet it just dried out. I'm gonna try this technique and see if I can bring it back around.
