Cool info about 12 volt car batteries.
An automotive battery is a rechargeable battery that is used to start a motor vehicle. Its main purpose is to provide an electric current to the electricity-powered starting motor, which in turn starts the chemically-powered internal combustion engine that actually propels the vehicle. Once the engine is running, power for the car's electrical systems is still supplied by the battery, with the alternator charging the battery as demands increase or decrease.
Battery in modern cars
Gasoline and diesel engine
Typically, starting uses less than three percent of the battery capacity. For this reason, automotive batteries are designed to deliver maximum current for a short period of time. They are sometimes referred to as "SLI batteries" for this reason, for starting, lighting and ignition. SLI batteries are not designed for deep discharging, and a full discharge can reduce the battery's lifespan.
As well as starting the engine, an SLI battery supplies the extra power necessary when the vehicle's electrical requirements exceed the supply from the charging system. It is also a stabilizer, evening out potentially damaging voltage spikes. While the engine is running, most of the power is provided by the alternator, which includes a voltage regulator to keep the output between 13.5 and 14.5 V. Modern SLI batteries are lead-acid type, using six series-connected cells to provide a nominal 12 volt system (in most passenger vehicles and light trucks), or twelve cells for a 24 volt system in heavy trucks or earth-moving equipment, for example.
Gas explosions can occur at the negative electrode where hydrogen gas can build up due to blocked battery vents or a poorly ventilated setting, combined with an ignition source.[5] Explosions during engine start up are typically associated with corroded or dirty battery posts. A 1993 study by the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said that 31% of vehicle battery explosion injuries occurred while charging the battery.[6] The next most common scenarios were while working on cable connections, while jump starting, typically by failing to connect to the dead battery before the charging source and failing to connect to the vehicle chassis rather than directly to the grounded battery post, and while checking fluid levels. Close to two thirds of those injured suffered chemical burns, and nearly three fourths suffered eye injuries, among other possible injuries.

Props for posting the follow up 👍🏼
Thank you
Good job on this, and thank you for the 3 month follow-up and for being candid on the results! Good job!
Any time! Thank you for the feedback.
Lavelling water is like checking the oil. Maintenance... thank you for good video.
Thank you for your honest review. I've seen a video telling that this method will make the battery last for years.
Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate you taking the time to post this.
lol i thought it wouldnt work, thanks for the honesty at the end compared to all those fake youtubers!!!
This year my Dodge had weak battery as it was over 5 years old. So I purchased a battery desulfator and again it didn't work. So I had to purchased another battery, I purchased a a gm battery as these lead acid batteries suck. The agm batteries were running about $350 but I found it walmart for under $190.
I almost want to build a lifepo4 battery with a massive Bms so I can avoid these useless expensive car batteries!
Nice video! I was getting ready to do this but having seen your update at the end, I will just go and buy a new battery! Thanks for saving me from wasting my time!
Yeah, I tried on to rescue my battery a few more times since the Prius and every time it’s a unsuccessful. Here is the resent update th-cam.com/video/cV6NewPWo2E/w-d-xo.htmlsi=mkpZ_v6spkUIeaKq
Try to buy an agm battery vs the flood acid batteries as the last longer and less prone overheating.
Good luck 🍀
Great job in that you updated us giving us all the info we need. In the end we now know if someone hasn't the money for a new battery, they may get by, at least in warm weather until they can get a new battery. Plus, we know if the guage even touches the BAD range, its time to replace if at all possible or make see sure we carry a jump starter, or at the very least jumper cables.
I’m glad you liked the video and I’m really thinking about upgrading to a lfp battery next time my Prius 12 volt goes bad as they are nearly the same price and on the Prius the motor is not start using the 12 volt. I have a Prius c now so it might be time in about one year. I just need to find a 50 lfp battery with at least a 100 amp bmw.
This guy has seen everything. Wow!
Thanks for the information 👍
Glad to help
Thank you. Appreciate the great info.
Glad it was helpful!
Brah only issue i see is the two waters are in the same type cup and are not marked, otherwise appreciate the detail thanks.
Thank you for your feedback, much apprecated!
Yes it does really work..😊😊😊😊
Please share your method.
I guess it does work if someone is in a tight spot and doesnt wanna spend the money that same day😅
Great video 👍🏻 Now I gotta go find a turkey baster😂
Lol 😂, yes that would be great to find a Turkey 🦃
I'm elderly and once I grabbed the baster, I assumed I must be forgetting the turkey, so long story short, the battery will now have to wait, but I'll eat well tonight.
Walmart said my battery was low amps so i just cleaned it and put purified water in it. Still works so ill leave it in for now. I didn't use distilled but too late.
Wonder if there any actual proof non distilled water will significantly hurt a battery? I ask because it has been said for years and even today that storing a battery on concrete will kill it, but guess what...not true.
I would love to see some experiments proving non distilled water will ruin a battery.

He might have something along those lines ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I appreciate your feedback Sorry for the late reply, did you get this handled?
@@RANDOMFIXeventually it will corrode because of the mineral…
Just added DISTILLED to my Diehard battery, may have overfilled a bit. Any advice?
Just be ready and prepared if you get stranded again. I had key Keylime battery desulfator that help battery but only newer batteries not to revive older batteries. There is a battery solution called battery water ( yellow container) that may help but I’ve never tried. I just opt in for an agm battery whenever possible as these flood acid batteries are hopeless. Keep me posted about your experience.
Thank you!
My pleasure and thank you for taking the time to post this great feedback
Great video valuable content
Thank you for the great feedback
Umm sorry just question I watched another video they said charge battery before adding water not really shure what to do
So they said charge the battery and then add water? So do did they say to charge again after you add the water? I don't see the benefit of doing it that way but I'm open to learning.
@@RANDOMFIX no I'll send link if can find it
Good content
Glad you liked it.
so did the new battery work or...?
The battery really needs to be replace.
What did you use the soda/distilled water for?
The baking soda is normally for the refrigerator and the distilled water was for the video.
If any of the acidic fluids from inside the battery had wasted or gotten on anything, hr would have used the baking soda water to neutralize it and clean that area. DO NOT PUT BAKING SODA INSIDE THE BATTERY.

Iv never heard of putting water in a battery. Is this really a thing
Yeah distilled water is needed if your battery water level is low. This affects lead acid batteries not agm or lithium batteries etc…
Good video, However... a lot of talking and very little information. I think the car on fire thing is important but I have NEVER seen or heard of a car catching on fire like that.
Thank you for your feedback, much apprecated!
Batteries can explode seen it happen in person , It gives off Highly flammable gases
Just noticed, by your wording, and the way you made up the baking soda solution, then went back to the plastic cup, it appeared, or will at least appear to some like you put the baking soda solution in the battery.
Question 1) you didnt do that, righr?
2) since the baking soda in the battery will neutralize the battery acid, Im very concerned some will make the mistake of putting the neutralizing solution (baking soda and water) into the battery, something that may ruin it.
Am I the only one seeing this? Or did I misunderstand something? If I did misunderstand, are some viewers likely to do the same?
Easy mistake to make so, if I'm right, no judgment here.
I did not put baking soda into the battery. lol 😂
@@RANDOMFIX I didn't think so, but hadda ask.
I just watched the video to make sure I didn’t mislead anyone, the distilled water cup is near empty when I remove and so the neutralizing water which near full. Thank you again for your feedback. I will never create a video unless it has some sort of usefulness in the world and if you ever find a proven method for repair bad battery please send it my way as these batteries are super expensive.
No worries, thank you again I will to try be even clearer in the future. I am learning too. I just tried this again on my 2014 grand caravan and again it didn’t work. So I had to pay 200 dollars for another battery but this time I got an agm.
U need a manual battery charger. Smart ones will not provide a full charge.
Why would someone buy this over one that doesn't take water? More specifically, why in the world would my 60 year old brother buy this type for my 80 year old mother. 🤦♂️ 😂
I believe they or longer life batteries so actually better
I appreciate your feedback Sorry for the late reply,
Should have left the caps loose while charging
I appreciate your feedback Sorry for the late reply, did you get this handled?
Is it okay to run the car/truck all night or drive to charge the batteries? Instead of having one of those battery chargers.
I have 8 batteries that l will fill up with distilled water and l would like know if l just keep running the truck to get them charged.
Sure you can do that if the batteries are in good condition however 8 batteries might be a lot of hooked up at once. I high suggest getting a load tester so you can identify dmamges batteries fast and recycle them.
Like this one
th-cam.com/video/Zpe_oOUZsUs/w-d-xo.html
@@RANDOMFIX I am definitely getting one. Thank you!
Did you discover any other way that works better?
Nope, I dead battery is a dead battery. I won't not risk it for myself. Again it may work for a few days, weeks, or even months but I'm would not take the chance.
fill all the levels evenly
thanks for the feedback.
U did it wrong.. ur supposed lmfao this is wrong😂
What, explain please 🙏
Hell nah it doesn't work
Yes that why I made the video and the follow up video
Good day Sir, so what do you conclude? That there is no point adding water? Maybe its because, as in your video, once those plates are exposed then they are permanently damaged. So maybe adding water works only if the cells havent yet been exposed? And you dont say in your video wether to fully charge the battery BEFORE adding distilled and in charging the battery AFTER adding distilled you should wait about 30 mins, as mentioned in some other videos.
Just adding distrilled does not do much at least my case. Yes, you need to charge it after adding the distilled water. I will try the battery water ( the yellow bottle) in a future video.
😃
