This is a bunch of bullcrap. If they heated about 1500l of water in that tub to 40°C, from lets say the ambient temperature of 20°C, that means that they used 1500kg * 20K * 4200J/kgK = 126MJ of energy. A really good car battery can have up to 100Ah charge in it. The average voltage of a car battery is 12V, so therefore the car battery has 12V * 100A * 3600s = 4.3MJ.
@laxxmann4610 The fact that you are a poorly educated person does not mean that people with superior intellect should stay quiet. And the fact that you are 15 years old is not an excuse for not being able to understand these simple physical equations.
And you know what the worst part is? You are an American, English is your mother tongue and yet you could not understand 50% of my comment above. Not without a dictionary. Oh, right, you've never heard about those.
@PtrOBrn, With a Power Inverter of course.. But all the energy still comes from the battery. You can buy an inverter at many retail stores. I have one. It will run 100 watt light bulbs, or 400 etc.. I can run my vacuum, treadmill etc off a small car jumper battery for a few minutes. A 75 watt light bulb for few hours.
@xxxpersoni Yes,the guyz starting the car immediately.You are right,every battery can do this they must show us how long the battery can do this.Btw do u know name of the song ? :)
not to hate on the video, but it looks like the cord goes off screen at 00:45 so is it just extra power cord looped around itself or does it go to an external power source? you dont know...
Honestly there is no way it heated the hottub up to 106... Even if that battery had a CCA of 1,000 that would be one hell of a feat to pull off even with a deep cycle battery of it's same size. Now the Reggie Watts video I could see happen but this... A little too extreme. I don't think even my 2 massive 1,200CCA batteries could handle this in my truck. Unless the hottub was 105F starting out =p
My Optima has been on my car for 8 years now. Still works great. I can still leave it sitting for a month and the car cranks. I can leave it for 5 or 6 months (working on the car), give it a charge, and good as new. I'm not going back to acid leakers again. No way.
why buy a super battery when most people can live with a standard battery? what kills every lead battery is sulfation. even the most ridgid ones like apollos.
To Heat a 50 amp 240 volt hot tub with car batteries you will need four 12 volt deep cycle battieries hooked in series not parrallel, 4/0 copper cable about 3/4inch in diameter. a 5000 watt 240 volt inverter from Grainger and it would have to run 2 hours which is possible but is NOT in this video. Mythbusters wouldnt even wast their time on this. As a Licensed professional Electrical Engineer It is my firm opinion whats used in the video is not possible. They did not mention how many batts but??
Wait a minute ignore my comments below The Saw only ran a few seconds, the tanning bed got turned off and the jacuzzi didnt have watermoving around with bubbles and the Heater in a jacuzzi will not operate without water flow across the elements. What is Diehard trying to pull here????
I put my Electrical Engineering license on the line with my friends today. We bought the biggest CCA(725) Diehard hooked up a AIMS 8000watt 12v inverter #PWRINV8KW12V My Jacuzzi Hot tub #J480 (same pump and heater as the J200 in the Video and 4/0 cables 20 times larger than the 8ga cables in the vid. My Results? The Jacuzzi air pump and filter pump for 1 minute until the Heater kick in then the voltage dropped in 25sec to 10.8vdc and the inverter shutdown for low voltage no way in hell this flys
the biggest CCA for a diehard PLATINUM battery is not 725, its 930 CCA. You probably got one of the SUV diehard batteries and not the platinum one that they are showing the video.
This entire commercial is complete bullshit...except that the woman is beautiful. They are expecting people to be gullible enough to not know that circular saws, home stereos, tanning beds, and hot tubs operate on 110V-120V whereas a Die Hard battery is 12V-14V.
What really is the kicker is that exact hot tub available from home depot is 50amp circuit at 240volts. I know of no Inverters that are 12volts and puts out 2 phases of 120volts or 240volts. Thats what blew it for me. Further more by National Electric code or NEC "Any device designed for 120 volts must use under 20 amps of energy since the maximum allowed 120 volt circuit would be 20amps. There are 30amp 120v circuits but not standard on any homes.
Yeah they run a small stereo, cut one leg of the chair, the hot dog cooker is on for 2 seconds while the camera is on it, the tanning bed shuts off as she walks away, and it looks like there is another battery sitting to the left of the hottub. Good Work....NOT!
Why would people say this is fake right off the bat. It is certainly possible. Diehard makes a phenomenal battery. I have had die hard batteries come back to life and work fine after a year + of sitting in a car outside.
Its not impossible that the battery could do that. But not on one charge. As a homeowner with a hottub... I know how much I pay to heat the tub just once. There's SO much energy used in that alone - no car battery holds that much juice.
i too have a hot tub and it has a 220v 50 amp heater. the implication in the ad is that it did it on one charge, as the narrator says "and it still had enough power to start the car"... well, of course it did, since it
i too have a hot tub and it has a 220v 50 amp heater. the implication in the ad is that it did it on one charge, as the narrator says "and it still had enough power to start the car"... well, of course it did, since it was being re-charged the whole time... so the real power supply was the alternator, not the battery. the battery most definitely did not heat that tub at all by itself.
maybe someone with literally elecrical knowlege would actually beleive this, but everyone knows a battery is 12V wont handle 120 - 220v. you need a mean PWr converter to power a tanning bed or hot tub...
Its called an inverter and yes they did use a Diehard 2200 watt pure sinewave inverter but do the math as I stated below. You are right there is just no way. The Inverter would have to be a 5000watt but they use (4) 12 volt batteries hooked in series creating 48v DC.
Video is only one minute a 5000watt inverter will power all of that for 1 minute lets see stereo 14 watts, Craftmens saw 975 watts, tabletop cooker 1200 watts, pearson table suntanner 550 watts, Hot tub not running 0 watts= 2739 watts. inverter draw 228 amps@12volts= 11 minutes on a Diehard 98amphr battery (There Best)
i know diehard batterys last a long time but that was pushing it!!! we usualy get 8 to 12 years out of them if you atleast charge them atleast ounce a year and check the water level inside realy better off having the maintnance free battery lol ..... pause @0.33
that is bullshit I tyyed to run a saw and a drill for less then one hour and the new diehard was dead. dont believe everything you see this is total bullshit !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
