- When I failed the battery of the UPS, I wanted to check the veracity of different videos that you can restore the battery and thus to repair the UPS. In the end I managed to make UPS and even do better than the UPS was new, but in a totally different way.

Thank you very much for this!
Very good! I like it! This electrician have his own style!
A great way to upgrade a UPS, you will get alot more use, infact you could run alot from that car battery..A good video.
+davebuts
Thanks!
thank you for your video
Upgraded 2 UPS w/ wheelchair batteries - TV & Security camera system to protects from lighting & power outages(some pulled outside meter & waited for IR cam lights to die before breaking in) which will be 5 hours before shutdown.
great job Victor, thank you, I have an UPS, I will try it
Why does the water comes out when charging the battery?
Safety Tip... To anyone who is going to make this... Car batteries, gas-off when being charged... Hydrogen. Hindenburg...
I've done this mod but I drilled a hole in the wall and ran the battery... OUTSIDE ! Your insurance company wont like you burning down your house. Use the shortest cable length you can and make sure you use big cables. To avoid voltage drop.
Also, I'd suggest drilling a 6.5mm (1/4") hole through the battery post (Perpendicular to the post... put another way, from one side to the other) but do this outside... again, hydrogen is very flammable ! Try to cover the battery to stop debris ... and secure the terminals with a nut, bolt and star washer. The home made clamps Victor used are cheap and fast to make, but he is good with his hands... If you do it this way , youare at risk of arcing if bumped. Boom, you are dead.
Spaciba +Victor V. ! Nice video, sir. Your English is good and you are obviously smart, educated or both.
Great response! DumbSkippy LOL
You have not right to say that what I do is dangerous. When the battery is not under load for a long time, then there is no explosive gas and no danger of explosion.
+strange1ization
Thanks so much for the positive feedback.
I'm glad you found my input, beneficial.
Cheers,

+Victor V.
I think you misunderstood what I said and meant.
I never said what you do is dangerous. No, No, No...
We have a responsibility to protect others from danger.
You and I know about this, but less skilled people will not know of the dangers.
I am a qualified Electronic technician... and a Mechanical Fitter.
I suggested different connections to the battery, because of the risk of a spark... at the source of venting Hydrogen!!!
Also because most people, wont have a piece of steel bar at home and wont get a good connection, which would require the exact curve to match the diameter of the battery pole. This would mean the electrical load at point of contact to the battery post would be at the edge of the steel bar and one point of the curve... and that is if the curve is not twisted (Spiral) when made.
Victor, I have every right to comment, especially if I am an expert and sir... I am an expert.
Firstly I said "Spaciba +Victor V. ! Nice video, sir.
Your English is good and you are obviously smart, educated or both."
Then I said
"Victor u... is good with his hands..."
I am 100% correct about Hydrogen.
All wet-cell, lead-acid car batteries produce Hydrogen when being charged. Hydrogen is the gas that both burns easily and can explode when ignited.
I hope you feel more comfortable with my suggestions, understanding why I have added my tips to your video comment.
At least one person is happy with my suggestions... Look !

Thank you for your video. its really instructive
Car battery - good idea!
I was going to do this on my computer set up but the battery must not be in the same room , unless, there is adequate ventilation so "electronics" are not subject to fumes from battery. good video, regards
Great Victor...
Amizing video nice
Good idea!
Your video helped me so much thank you batti
I was hoping for it. Good luck.
When a UPS bettery leaks, what does it look like? What color is the material? Thanks
nice video how much amp is that battery 20 amp 50 amp 75 amp or 100 amp i have back=ups cs 350 i have 1100 watts inverter 12 volt deep cycle battery 75 amp 900 watts runing my inverter
Do you expect that the UPS will be able to charge that ~70Ah battery ? It's designed to charge batteries which fit the UPS. Charge current is set to the battery size it fits. This way it will charge that ~70Ah battery for weeks if not longer. Good for one time use.
I think that it is necessary to install a fully charged battery. A fully charged battery consumes a small current.
Yes, of course it can charge a larger battery. Where did you see it's 70ah ?
It's like 50Ah guessing from the size of it. Google a online calculator for the charge time. Theoreticaly ,say 50Ah charged by 1A will charge for 60h (with 20% efficiency loss). Depends also how the UPS's charging circuit is designed.
+Kozsar do you know any modifications that can be made to a ups to enable it charge a 50 Ah battery?
Yes and No. :D Yes, you need to redesign the whole circuit. No,you better buy a bigger UPS , you end up saving a lot of money and energy.
how long does this uninterruptible power supply last if it will work from a car battery, how do you?
good job
Muy buen tutorial victor. Salu2.
Good tutorial Victor.
There are several tips for doing a pro job
do not attempt to do this until you know what you are doing - the acid can burn your skin
check the voltage first - there may be a kaput cell which would be a waste of time trying to fix.
Check your battery fluid.
attempt to fully charge the battery.
(I discovered about these on rapid renew roadmap site )
thx...good video
Thank you for the video!! good job!
nice video ....
i have one question about the distilled water ,is there a specific brand of water to use or any kind of water product atleast it is distilled..?
I've seen some guy repair a battery like this with rainwater, not even distilled.And it worked.
I used tap water and it worked, probably not as good as distilled though
You just added distilled water in some other videos they say to add Epsom salt in water.
And is that true that distilled water starts boiling when you charge the batteries coz they are made to have gel instead of water?
(They leak and damage the UPS)
And is that also true that distilled water becomes sulfuric acid after some time in the batteries?
Hellow Hi,
Epsom salt is added to "wet cell" typed SLA rechargeable batteries. That would be your car battery.🙄
This is an AGM type of VRLA battery. Here you only add distilled water into each cell. To my experience it is best to under than to overfill.🤔
True. 😉
will H2SO4 acid work with gravety of 1100 or 1000ph...
For most batterys regular distilled water will work. Tap water is never a good idea as it often has a lot of impurities. A low cell lets say in a car battery while starting or charging can cause an explosion. I had one blow the top off of one and acid went everywhere. Wear eye protection if you don't want to be blinded.
I hope that you are not talking about me. I use distilled water and the battery may explode if you charge the battery and allow a spark when removing the conductor.
Really anybody working around batterys. I worked around batterys for years never had a problem. One day I started a generator which had four full size batterys. I heard a click then boom just like a shot gun going off. If I had been near it I would of had acid all over me. When I worked on aircraft I found one overheating, I had gloves it was still hot as a frying pan and ran down the stairs with it. It wasn't the charger the battery just went bad. I urge everyone to respect these little electrical bombs.
Thank you :)
Thanks, I will try the car battery. But how long does it take for the UPS to charge the car battery or do I have to charge the car battery externally before connecting to UPS?
+madex4u For the first time, you must charge the battery externally

I have tried this on 5 sealed lead acid batteries so far and it hasn't been effective. All of the electrolyte is contained in the blotters between the plates. The electrolyte is purposely slightly underfilled by design to prevent leakage in the event the battery case becomes cracked.
When refilling the water level, pure distilled water can only be used. I distill my own since the water marketed as distilled at stores can have an additive (like a small amount of salt or fluoride).
Adding the correct amount of water is the most difficult part of this operation. Unfortunately, you can't see how much water the blotter needs by appearance. You want to only fill the blotter without having any standing water on top of the plates. When you charge the battery after the refilling operation, electrolyte (water and acid) will flow out of the blotter and rise above the plates (which is undesirable). So, if you added the correct amount of water, the blotter will only appear moist during charging, any more or less is undesirable.
+Bill Harris : "Battery Desire" the blockbuster movie coming to a theatre near you!! Thrilling story of long lost desirable battery. See the undesirable battery drinking too much water. Watch a most desirable battery soak a blotter. Yes, this is the movie for you!!
Hi, is the drill used here Bosch 24V 1,5Ah? If so, which power adapter did you use to make it work? I tried to convert mine, but with the 24V 300W output from the power adapter it runs very poorly. Curious how you made yours work
+apetrov1x5 No, it's Bosch 12V
which quantity of distilled water do you use on each cell of the battery?
nice work
It would be good if you use red for the other terminal.
The plates in these batteries are thin. By design, they should get dry before the plates fail in some way. Doing these "repairs" can extend the life if the battery a little longer, not like new.
There is one "little" problem. By adding distilled water to the battery
you won't help it, only if the battery was boiled to oblivion (improper charging) and off gased the water. Because the "sulfuric acid" is on the plates
sulfated, you end up with battery filled with water or more diluted
electrolyte. You have to get the plates clean of sulfation ,if it's heavily sulfated, to get back the capacity. You can measure the specific gravity of the electrolyte which tells you.....
I have done it. ;) cheers
Some masters recommend to refill distilled water + electrolyte, 50x50 %. The electrolyte degrades with time usually.
You can't measure the specific battery in an AGM electrolyte because you can't draw liquid.
+Victor
masters ??? lol. distilled water is ok , if it evaporated = the battery was overboiled...adding H20 is not enough if the battery suphated.. You must DE-sulphate the plates by special charging process ! It's called equalization charge. Adding +electrolyte (acid) into a sulphated battery is a temporary short fix until the battery sulphates even more and the cells are killed by too high impedance. The electrolyte does not degrade by any means , only the water can escape when it's boiling by pushing current which is not absorbed. Acid remains in the cell, on the plates, or in the electrolyte.
(wikipedia) In the discharged state both the positive and negative plates become lead(II) sulfate (PbSO
4), and the electrolyte loses much of its dissolved sulfuric acid and becomes primarily water.

sure, only from flooded ones
hi my ups batery is swollen and black connector get rusted but i slowly removed the connector.
shall i refill distled water and after that shall i plug in to check wheather it is charging or not.plz say ur sugestion.
also im not havngthat voltage meter
If your battery is swollen it's worth having a good look at the device circuit.
Thanks sir.I m very happy to say that I could saved few $.Else I could nt.
Amazing....
2:33 to 2:35 next time mark a spot for the battery before you swap it for a diff one.. hahahahahahaha i love youtube
what water u need repair battery dear?
This is distilled water. Instructions written on the battery normally.
can we use water it can work or not
How low was the voltage on the battery?

nice
Thank.
Pommie ways..good idea for your own .
nice one, hope you don't mind my asking, but what is the title of the background music of your video?
sarkai lo khatiya jada lage
in which shop I will get this distilled water
You can get this in any large store where there is a department of auto parts. I bought distilled water in a super market. I pour this water into the flatiron.
can i use maintenance free battery 12v 7.5 and valve lead acid battery 12v 8.2 together in ups?
Such a design is undesirable.
Yes
I'm waiting for your return visit....
Sir can i use normal distilled water? Or lead acid distilled water?
Akshay Somani Normal.
Battery is heating so much, is it okay?
after filling water,the battery would internally start fuming after charge,pushing the rubbers that close.
Slowly the UPS circuitry starts getting acid corrosion,IMHO.
Instead,if we can get hands on to a jelly that the battery makers use.
I suppose we could improve on the repairs.
thanks

Can i use a bottled distilled water for refilling? Do i need afraid that is not pure enough for the refilling? What trouble if it is not pure distilled water?
Sorry for asked 3 questions, because i have a battery just found dead and i just bought it 1 year ago.

what would happen if someone drank the water? lol
it will be nothing.

okay thanks but what is the difference then?
Sir, I am insert distilled water in UPS battery but the battery can not increase power backup time.
This means that your battery can not be restored.
Sir how to restore battery and any chances to restore battery ON after 3mints it will OFF.
does it have to be lead accid battery water?
Yes, that is right
Victor V. can it be regular water?
This is not recommended.
на таких вещах лучше не экономить, Виктор. КАк сказал один товарищ тут: автомобильные батареи выделяют газ, может произойти взрыв.
Achtung: Alle USV-Batterien enthalten äusserst explosive Knallgase und Schwefelsäure, welche schwerwiegende Verbrennungen und Ätzungen hervorrufen können. Auf diesem Video werden keinerlei Vorsichtsmaßnahmen getroffen und Verletzungen sind vorprogrammiert. Ein neuer Akku mit 24 Monaten Garantie kostet beispielsweise (12V 7Ah - wie im Video dargestellt) Eur 23,50 + Eur 7,70 Versand. Ob sich hier das Risiko lohnt?
Batteries can explode even with all safety precautions. My battery didn't explode, so my safety is good.
Your voice sounds like your mouth is full of tongue, haha.
I will not deny it. :-)
thank U So much Replay me
how did the batter mysteriously become fully charged before you out it back in the case
magic.
My one still not working
can somebody help me i have a UPS here and i think the battery is not working..
Buy a new one, it's CHEAP too 10 bucks, don't' waste your time :((((((((((((((( www.atbatt.com/amstron-12v-8ah-sealed-lead-acid-battery-with-f1-terminal.asp?gclid=CPCM4KuZwdACFUxXDQods6ILHw
SIR CAN WE USE RAIN WATER
This is not desirable, since the rain has chemical impurities.
You could try angel pee it is pure & free since your are very cheap

I have a feeling that the charge controller in the UPS is not going to like charging the car battery in the long run.
I have a feeling that the charge controller in the UPS not want to run long anyway
Very good question! I wish to know! If nothing happen in first 10 Hours - will be Okay!
If its free who cares?
Can we use boiled water?
Boiled water will have a bad effect on the battery. You can use boiled water if you cannot find distilled water.
No, that would be even worse than tap water. Boiling it just concentrates whatever minerals it has dissolved in it. Rain water would be a lot better.
Distilled water is $1 a gallon so why use anything else unless you are super cheap
In my ups 12v 7ah battery using Can I use 12v 9ah bike battery in it ups can charge it?
I think that this will be the best solution.
Yes
@@DoitselfInfo If we use battery with higher ampere range, will it not heat up the transformer?
It is really advisable to replace the 12V 7AH battery with 12V higher amp hour rating battery ?
distilled water apply all ups battery.
It's right.
Sorry it didn't work on my GEL CELL battery from wheelchair.
This means you need a new battery.
kooooool professor
Its not working
This means that the battery is dead.
Thonta Praveen Kumar.plz tell me how to repair dray Betty pool
Victor V. Do it yourself .plz tell me how to repair dray Betty pool
I had no repair experience with this battery yet
I always refill with Sulfuric Acid
I have 12 volt 8.2 AH ups battery. I have refilled with distilled water (1x sulfuric acid : 3x water). I used 16 volt dc transformer to charge the battery. After few hours, When i test the volt , it shows 14+ volts in my battery. but when i connect my battery , it is unable to provide backup and my computer shuts off immediately. It seems to me that the battery AH capacity is damaged. Please suggest me in this regard that what can i do now. thanks in advance
You can restore the battery if the plates is not destroyed.
Measure the voltage with a 5A load. If the voltage drops significantly, either electrolyte mixture is incorrect or damaged plates. You can purchase an electrolyte tester quite economically.Probably plates are damaged, it may come back if recycled a few times.
Better off getting a new marine battery.
Thanks all for valuable suggestions. led zep how can i recycle
my battery ?
Victor V.
how can i measure that whether my plate good or bad and if good how can i restore. pls help
Well, trying to salvage the original battery didn't work but you won't know if you don't try.
+WoodRodent This is true.

An UPS battery? You may not speak full English but I suggest you change that a bit. :)
Maybe I do not speak English very well, but I try to speak in plain language.
+Victor V. Doesn't everybody? I barely speak English at 3 AM because I have Russian dreams. И ты? What language do you speak primarily?
I will not discuss their dreams with you, I would like to know why the people of Russia do not understand my English? You'd better not watch my video, my video for people who understand English
+Victor V. I'm sorry. I may have seemed hostile but that wasn't my intention. This did actually help me a bit so all I need to say is thanks.
I do not think you're hostile, thanks for dialogue
This will not work. You have de pressurised the battery by taking those vent caps off. For the £10 or so these cost don't waste your time
DovahkiinYT the electrolyte is not what holds the electrical charge. It is the lead plate that holds the charge. And by design these batteries which are Valve regulated lead acid (VRLA) do require the correct pressure internally to operate correctly. Also the amount of water that he has added to the cells would dilute the electrolyte too much. They only require a small amount of electrolyte in these which would have been absorbed by the lead plate during recharge It will all be pushed back out of the positive plate and mixed with the water he has added bringing the electrolyte specific gravity well below the 1300 it's supposed to be.
*How To NEVER Pay For New Batteries Everrrr Again>>>>**batteryrestorationn.blogspot.hk** >>>*
de-pressurized? no.. those rubber boots are meant to let pressure escape.. this happens when the battery gets hot. they are rubber so they can keep the liquid from spilling out.

can i use boiled water??
No, do not that.

Use coconut water instead
if I use acid water , what happens?
This is a dry battery.
clarify please
Because i already do this. And nothing happend.
We can use tap water
This is not a good idea. This water is contaminated with impurities.
no no!
distilled water is distilled water in America!!
Everywhere in the world! In South Africa is for free! You can collect at the Petrol Stations!
In other Country’s may be cost small money! If you don’t have - wait for the first rain and collect at least 5 litters!
