maintenance, repairing and recharging a dead gel / dry type motorcycle/car battery

[CrimelabS]

use distilled water and extend more battery life, its pure H2O with no mixed minerals that causes the battery plates to corrode. Charge them around 2 days in a ventilated room do not cover the caps yet let the chemical boil out, wipe out the excess with tissue and dispose of them properly as they are acidic add more water if needed.

Thinking about it ? If you get a wacker plate and plonked battery on top of it with straps then run it over the Tarmac or hardcore etc.... I'm sure this would shift any lead plate crud followed by a good rinse out init

[SuperAnthonymartin]

Hi there my friend( we can be mates you know)

Okay try drop it only 8 inches but do it three times ? Main thing I's to aim dead flat on the wood hence no corner to crack

It? I'm sure you will be really supprised how much crud falls of the cells?

Anyone reading this give a shot let's face it the batteries almost jitters anyhow!

Hope this trend takes off as I'm gutted when I go down yon waste place n see loads of batteries lying in a container only left to go to the crusher n revile the lead on

[SuperAnthonymartin]

Nah your alright mate we did it on a jet ski battery this year n it really worked? Saved me £15 knicker. Good price, and if it don't work u ain't lost owt! If you really wanna be safe stick a lump of wood in an empty Wheeli bin and drop n run

[warezvz]

@SuperAnthonymartin dude a motorcycle battery costs form 50 to over 300 euros there is no chance ill gonna drop one the seccond time

[SuperAnthonymartin]

Nah I forgot to tell you to empty it first

[warezvz]

@SuperAnthonymartin the plates inside will brake

i droped a brand new battery once accidently and it broke

so..... dont do that

[SuperAnthonymartin]

Also try dropping the battery from about a foot off floor? This removes scaling then simply rinse the baby out n re fill with distiller water ! Also buy some acid tabs from Halfords in a tube! Add them n wow ur lights are bright mate? This only works on lead acid not gel battery

[warezvz]

@SuperAnthonymartin yeah by dropping it itl just break and spill the acid over you

Hi, I got a 1981 Suzuki GS1000l and was starting just fine but the day after it just did not start what so ever...Even when boosted with cables, nothing happens. I turn the key and I dont even have any dash lights.

Can you tell me what is happening?

[warezvz]

@jojomoor you need to take your battery out and check the fluid levels if its not between min and max refuel it with destilled water and put it to charging. then check your fuses, often a shorted bettery can burnout fuses replace them if needed. If nothing happens and still wont start then its time to connect the bike directly to a proven battery like from your car and if it then dosnt start then check the bikes key switch thy often get full of water and rust so you have no contact

great videoooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooo

[CLANKILLER007]

i thought this video was for fixing gel cell not lead acid

[warezvz]

@CLANKILLER007 the lead aid and gel battery is the same crap just in the gel battery to the acid is aded a jelly stuff so the acid water mix cant evaporate so easily. So its the same on the repairing just you dont have to refill the water.

[PeterKiryluk]

But hey sometimes when you say it could be crap when the voltage is nothing and dude i brought that battery back too what ever is in there gets really dry also shaking the shit out of it wile u keep putting watter in works good!

[warezvz]

@PeterKiryluk when batterys are old (specialy lead acid batterys) the led starts to deteriorate and creates a layer of led powder on the bottom what shorts out the battery. you can take out the acid into a empty container wash the battery out with water refuel it with the acid you took out and charge it. It works in 80% of batterys. We specialy do that on truck batterys and heavy working machines because their batterys are big and expansive so they cost up to 2000 dollar and thats a cheep repair

[coaxialgyro]

@warezvz , Thanks for the great news !, I'd have never known.

All batterys should peak at 140% ,14.5v for a 12v cell is good.

[warezvz]

@coaxialgyro the normal charging rate is 13.7-14.5V

[wifebeater756]

@PeterKiryluk lol i do the shake to 

[PeterKiryluk]

OK buddy ive tired this before w electrolitic acid and it did shit, but with plain old distilled watter i got my 2 dead batteires to hold charge and i would say its out 95 percent back to life it took like a week of adding water little bit by little bit and then when you charge it it would leak out but then i put more in because something was happening in there that brought it back to life and now it stoped spitting watter out its absolutly awsome this does work my name is Peter im in CT

[piktasdiedas]

It looks like your multimeter's battery is empty ;)

Anw, good vid.

[warezvz]

@piktasdiedas

yeah the battery was dead empty

and i got it working again

[trinicaleb]

That appears to be a lead acid battery mate.. not a dry or gel cell

[warezvz]

this is a gel lead calcium battery.

they have vents, the standard gel battery has only one vent on the side to fill it up you have to drill the holes and recap them with tesa film

[trinicaleb]

@warezvz ok understood :)

[HasJuice]

Very useful. Good vid man.

[8cuttlefish8]

Awesome mate, i will remember this :D.

[terence20001]

Good tip . I'll cheack this way in future.
