  • 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

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

  • Nah I forgot to tell you to empty it first

  • @SuperAnthonymartin the plates inside will brake

    i droped a brand new battery once accidently and it broke

    so..... dont do that

  • 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

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

see all

  • cine pula mea te-a invatat engleza ma retardule? :))

  • dead battery is dead battery, if you try to revive it you will end up in starter rely ticking, but no cranking far away from home. If you want to be cheap sell car/motorcycle and switch to public transportation. Cheers

  • 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

  • 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
