This guy is toast. I used to own a body shop with a junkyard and I repaired radiators when I was in my mid 20's. I started going to radiator repair clinics and noticed all the old timers had various neurological tics, blinks and shakes. I had my lead tested and it was off the charts! I cut up my repair tank and had chelation therapy to get the lead out and later had my mercury fillings replaced with composite. I'm 74 now and still work long hours in my own small business with a great memory and am very healthy. Folks, don't breath lead, plastic and sulfuric acid fumes !!!
@@АндрейАндреев-с9б1щ I understand that and I wish I could help him and all those like him. My comment was a warning to those who could find another way to make enough to eat...
В 90 е годы я в армейской аккумуляторе делал то же самое . Были и отливочные формы и все что надо..Правда пластмассовые АКБ мы не делали. А вот деревянные и фиберглассовые с заливкой мастикой ремонтировали на раз .И 6 СТЭМ 140м и 12 СТ ...и любые..
Notice that the number of plates removed from the battery is far higher than the number of plates he's putting back in and just uses padding on both ends of the stack of plates to take up the extra space... He's basically making a new battery, yes, but it's a new battery that's that's smaller in capacity than the original one would have been.
And maybe that's what people want to pay for. As long as it's not dishonest, then I have no problem with that. And obviously it has to be the same voltage - but I think that's what each section of the casing is for. When labor is essentially free, the economics change drastically.
@@zachansen8293 Yes, each section is a cell. One set of plates with a separator creates a cell, but putting more alternating plates in there creates more cells in parallel as well as with the adjacent plates. The left and the right hand tabs are essentially in parallel, electrically speaking. Six cells at 2 volts nominal each, and in series, results in the nominal 12V.
The number of plates he's putting back in is likely lower because he's already sorted out which anode and cathode plates are still salvageable and which were beyond repair or reuse. Not all of the plates are reusable. One may use plates from multiple batteries to get one single battery that's somewhat in good shape, using just the plates that are still in good shape.
@@AnnaVannieuwenhuyse You'd think you would just salvage some from other batteries to make a smaller number of good ones instead of making a bunch of worse ones. But maybe that's what demand is for.
@@maxmaxwell4211 Not sure, maybe good to hemorrhoids too. Better ask a real doctor to confirm. To practice this position is good for your health in long run.
There is a lot of craftsmanship involved because batteries are not designed to be refurbished. You have to intimately understand how it actually works and how it's manufactured in order to do something like this.
Never in my life have I seen or heard of a battery being rebuilt. Extremely toxic process involved there coming in contact with lead and burning plastic but the skill and innovation is fascinating. I take my hat off to this gentleman and anyone else around the world keeping the wheels turning in their society.
Last I heard -- although the info is YEARS out of date now, if not decades -- Bangladesh was the place to go for battery rebuilding. You wonder where your recycled Duracells and Die-Hards go? You're looking at it. Like it or not, this is what that core charge at Advance Auto buys you. Love it or hate it -- the companies that did it don't care. It was cheap for them and that's what they think matters. Welcome to the modern world. I'm not here to peddle a better way. I don't have one of those today. But this is the life of those who make possible the lives of those of us in the cushy parts of the world. This is how the other half lives... oh, and it's a lot more than half nowadays. By the way, if you want to know where your electronics go... that would be Guiyu, China, for the most part. Technically illegal for decades now... nobody cares. The boats will come as long as there are people still alive and willing to work. When you think about it, we live in a utopia. I live in America. For my specific county in my specific state, median income was a bit over $45k in 2020. The per capita income of Bangladesh as a country was the equivalent of $2227 for 2020. Both of those figures are in 2020 US Dollars; in 2022 US Dollars, that's almost $43k where I live and roughly $2383 in Bangladesh. Say what you want about the US government -- and there's plenty to say, wherever you lay on the political spectrum, let's be honest -- but most of our civil issues don't have to deal with things like minor municipalities not having any running water at all and thus every family in that entire village (we'd say small town) having to walk for multiple hours every day to get water -- the luxury of something like a bicycle, let alone any sort of motorized vehicle, being distinctly aspirational for most folks at that economic level -- and having kerosene fires routinely burning down their dwellings because that's how they heat, cook, and light the place; it's all they can get -- the electrical grid in most poorer countries is, let's face it, not the sturdiest even in the larger cities, and it simply doesn't exist outside of them. There's no money for that kind of infrastructure. This is how you get your Starbucks Shangri-La. This is the price of utopia. I wish I had better news to give you. I wish I had a happier answer to provide. I wish this story had a happier ending. Sadly, life is not a Disney movie... to paraphrase an actor , and character, far better than I -- welcome to the scrapyard of the real.

I won't be reporting your comment personally, as IMO if they're going to make it THAT easy it's not worth my bother, but I did want to leave you a heads-up as websites generally take these things a bit seriously, and Google (which owns TH-cam) does occasionally hand down bans if people get annoying enough.

Do you know how the comment section works? You understand that i do not have to read the whole reply thread to leave my comment for the same person you did and you will see those as replies? And btw i didn`t so maybe you got the wrong impression here? Anyway since we got that( i hope) out of the way and since you directly commented i will add something on the side. When i was 10 my native countrys GDP per capita was 1,750 US so let me assure you i understand a struggle of a poor country where everything i mean everything that could be fixed have been fixed. You would not throw away nut a bolt or a screw... to damaged, sell for cash untill there was nothing left. So before you start another lesson mind what i just wrote above. Onto another topic then: Anyone who worked in any factory that is fixing anything knows how the world works, a lot of people know where the so called unusable by the west parts go. The problem is that nobody in the west wants to agree that this is happening otherwise our moral preaching about reducing emisions, waste and so on would collapse like a house of cards. Last but not least: Really? Reaaalllyyy? You are offended by the word "shit" You do know that word is considered by youtube as light profanity and is allowed in their videos but they will not get domenatized. You would have to stretch the ban definition hard to get me out for the use of it in way that is not directed at any person to begin with but at toxic mix of chermical material. You get offended on behalf of a toxic sludge? Also what you wrote - even though i fully understand and hope you did not meant like that - sounded like a vailed threat?

Two, what is allowed in the videos is different from what's in the comments. Three, most of us in the West, particularly in America, tend to be a bit ignorant of stuff like this. I'm in an odd position, I've "fallen through the cracks" -- so to speak -- in my own country, abs I live in poverty now, but this is after getting a decent education and having experienced other cultures in other countries. I just never got the opportunity to do anything with what I had; as soon as I got it, my world fell apart and now I'm a very different person with a very different life. Four, I'm genuinely sorry to hear that you live in such a difficult country. Just because we live so well, doesn't mean you should not. Probably there should be some sort of middling-out... sad to say, enough of us are too comfy and it will never happen while countries like mine remain as they are, but perhaps someday... remember the phrase: "all things end". For better or worse, there are no exceptions. Five, I was not offended. More that you gave me a chuckle for something that seemed obviously out-of-place. Six, I genuinely meant my kind words... just as I mean them again now: have an awesome day, sir or miss.
The real art of repairing things. My deepest respect to this man. I lived in India for some time, love it dearly and adore its nice people. Great job done, a real JUGAAD at its best. Regards!
Actually, this is in Pakistan. You can tell from the dress style, urdu writing, phone numbers car license plates etc. Not that in India "informal" i.e. Not under pollution regulations, does not take place. There are large unauthorized recyclers, about a 1000, in India that smelt the lead at low cost because of hoodwinking of pollution standards, but the lead supply chain then goes into battery manufacturers plants. Once you have the lead, manufacturing can be done on a large scale with semiautomation with much better efficiency and low cost. Sitting on the sidewalk and poring melted lead by hand and plastic welding by lighting the plastic on fire is inefficient, although requiring high degree of skill and necessary when you don't have alternatives. Pakistani people show the same jugaad as Indian people, but most of the fruit of their sweat is skimmed off by the Army and extraordinarily corrupt polity, even by south asian standards.
Indian bro, if you have kept your political rhetoric aside in this video of entirely different genre. It would have been much better. Porus chan-nee can't accuse lota for a hole.
Делал такую работу в детстве когда летом во время школьных каникул работал в колхозе (мне тогда было 14 лет). Ничего сверхъестественное. Конечно тогда сами аккумуляторы небыли такие красивые, но было очень легко разбирать и собрать.
бесполезная работа. если свинцово кислотный аккум сел, больше нет смысла его восстанавливать, он больше не будет держать заряд. только первое время и всё!
Хорошо когда зимы нет. У нас новый 3 года служит ,на 4год в минус 20 едва крутит ( хоть в тепле и показывает себя молодцом). Думаю такой восстановленный и недели зимы на Урале не выдержал бы. Хотя наблюдать очень интересно. Молодцы крутятся как могут

@@ezmony19 Children and adults can get lead poisoning by breathing or swallowing dust that contains lead. Once absorbed, it affects almost every organ and system in the body. Even a little lead can make children slower learners. Very high levels of lead exposure can cause coma, seizures and death.
I have no clue why this ended up in my recommended feed, but the repurposing of the lead oxide sheets to stabilize the whole battery assembly is clearly genius!
Просвети в чем смысл манипуляций? На сколько я понимаю аккумулятор подыхает когда сыпется свинец с пластин он в оксид превращается. (чёт там не оксид а какая-то муть получается точно не помню). По сути надо плавить свинец восстанавливать его чистоту и формовать обратно на пластины, но так как в аккумуляторе высоко пористый свинец, процедура вообще смысла не имеет! Что он сделал то? Ну максимум поднял ток отдачи на какое-то время (ну так можно было просто промыть его и электролит поменять). Ну возможно чистый сепаратор уменьшит нагрев , ток утечки и снизит внутреннее сопротивление. Но на старых пластинах, на сколько этого эффекта? На 2 месяца? Что он делает то в итоге?

many things in life are simple. But if you want to be done in safe way, that would make things complicated. Like pouring Acid from a water jug and boiling lead in a wok.
The hard part is inventing the first or improving the process of creating the tech. Once it's out, mechanics and those who service these things can usually repair the most advanced tech using pretty rudimentary tools.
Lead acid batteries are (ignoring the plastic housing and paper separators) basically 100% recyclable. Wish the same could be said for all battery technology.
@@phillyd2018 In terms of energy density, yes, but it's bad engineering to dismiss them solely on that. LiPo batteries cannot compete in terms of current output. Not only that but lead acid charge/discharge characteristics are very forgiving, they won't blink at a dead short. Also, Lead acid likes to be stored at 100% charge, meaning they are ready to go when you need them. Try that with LiPo and you'll be doing damage to them.

I have learned so much from these resourceful and ingenious people.

Excellent work although I worry that all of this lead, acid and plastic fumes exposure is taking toll on this man's health. I hope he stays safe and healthy.
Great example of real recycling. I do hope though as his business picks up that he will look into and invest into some good safety gear and procedures. Dish gloves, as those appear to be, aren't rated for acid. I wonder how many chemical burns he's endured. Also, he works so close to the fumes of the job. It won't take long for metals and fumes to take their toll. Then there's the spilling of old battery contents on the ground, which over time will have a detrimental effect on the area. I applaud the guys ingenuity and expertise. I also feel bad for him and the surrounding area because of the long term toll doing things that way will take on him and others. We here in supposedly advanced countries have learned from the pain and suffering of others that safety requirements and standards are needed. It looks like he's an entrepreneur and not an employee, so if anybody knows him, maybe help him to find online the meds sheets for the chemicals and metals he's working with. It's wouldn't take much to get acid rated gloves and some sort of respiratory gear. Also, he may get some energy savings if he enclosed the burner with bricks. I would hate for us to applaud him and in not too long he starts to feel the effects of metal poisoning or have organ damage from absorbing toxic metals and chemicals over time.
Exactly what I was thinking. I was cringing very hard when he was cleaning the old battery waste and washing it with water on the ground. It must be disposed properly as it can slowly seep into ground reservoirs and potable drinking areas. I also applaud his work though. I would recommend wearing protective gear when he was soldering, especially considering lead fumes can have a serious detrimental effect to your health with respirated. I’m pretty sure this took place in Bangladesh or Pakistan so I am not familiar with their environmental laws.
@@benyseus6325 if anything we should export to the world, it should be safety standards. How many toxic sites have we had to clean up. How many preventable illnesses and deaths on the job have we seen. We've learned a lot of tough lessons and we really should be helping these countries to benefit themselves. I love to see such amazing talent and ingenuity and at the same time cringe at the thought of the long term impact. I saw a video a number of years ago out of Indea where men were fluffing Asbestos with something like rakes in nothing but their underwear. No breathing masks, no eye protection, no ventilation. By now, everyone in the video is most likely dead. In another, I saw videos of hits in shoes and shorts taking acetylene torches and cutting ships into pieces. One guy blowup because he started cutting a fuel tank that someone hadn't emptied and aired out.

Recycling isn’t the same as refurbishment. Just simply sorting bulk recyclable materials is a whole lot more complicated than people realize. And product impurities means not everything can be made from recycled waste
@@nadlug9199 the vast majority of “recycled” stuff just gets shipped to china & stuffed into a landfill & the American government is so generous with our money there’s millions in kickbacks leftover for those same politicians
Practically 100% of car/truck batteries get recycled. They’re a notable exception to the “ship it all to poor countries” of most recycling. In wealthy countries the recycling is performed very differently (via shredding and then separating the materials by flotation), but it’s done because a) the lead is so easy to recycle b) car batteries are expensive to ship because of their weight, and c) they’re not allowed in landfill or incinerators due to the lead.
Not amazing at all as it was mentioned this make huge harm to environmelt as all the servis and spill vill be washed to soil or river with first rain. Not mentioning danger for the person himself. And Im doubfull that acid and derbis washed from old battery is properly handled and destroyed. I understand its simply done because of needs but it is great example how it must not be done.

What's wrong with recycling centers, and rebuilding new ones in facilities where employees don't have to be exposed to acids, heavy metals and dangerous fumes? I think you have it backwards.

This video is from Pakistan. It is a country of small shopkeepers. Most importantly they don't allow giant companies to dominate all of the market which allows small businesses to furnish at fast pace.
Besides the health concerns -- how good are the remanufactured batteries? I have somewhere in the back of my mind the idea that "dead" batteries are bad because both the anode and the cathode have changed into lead sulphate. What does it take to reverse that change?
You can't really reverse it. It's a chemical change. Soft of like burning wood and it turning into ash. All you can do really is scoop it out and replace it. It's really simple if it wasn't for all the lead.
My grandfather was a heavy machinery mechanic in Eastern Europe from the 60s on. These were routine procedures in Europe too when there was a scarcity of almost everything. Instead of the molten plastic they’d use molten asphalt as it’s easier to work with.

When I was a kid growing up in Puerto Rico in the mid-80's there was a guy that used to this. You would take your no longer working battery to him, and he would open it up like this gentleman did and put it back to like new condition. It was cheaper than buying a new battery, that was for sure 🙂
Looking at what he did, he turned a 150Ah battery into a 85Ah battery, its a bit of a scam really. Better of buying new. Cannot doubt his work is good though.
@@fountainofspeech1379 Look carefully, the plates are slightly smaller than the originals and there are less of them. @7:01 Look how he packs both outer sides with a large amount of insulation rather than using lead plates. The battery results in less capacity because of the overall less surface area by using smaller & less amount lead plates & more insulation.
Unfortunately this sort of reclamation is seriously dangerous to the worker’s health in terms of potential lead poisoning and inhalation of acid fumes. They appear to take few precautions against these risks……with the exception of one rubber glove. These risks are also affecting any passing pedestrians. “A” for effort, but “Z” for SAFETY.
The air that he is breathing there in the city center is arguably even worse than anything coming from this chemical waste. Without exaggeration - if you never experienced it there, your unprepared airways will literally tingle and burn.
The sulphuric acid will quickly dehydrate and corrode the gloves he's wearing, the heat generated will likely cause worse burns than if he wore no gloves at all. The worst part is that the process of extracting the plates produces lots of small pieces and particles of the plate alloy which includes additives like arsenic, antimony and other elements to enhance the properties of the plate, when it dries it produces a dust that clings to the skin and clothes and he'll bring that poison home with him transferring it to whoever comes in contact with him. This is an image of the ingenuity that poverty creates.
While a primitive approach doing it all by hand...they are getting the most out of their resources and keeping things out of the landfill as long as possible. Good job!

Была у меня книга по ремонту аккумуляторных батарей, 1950-55 года, ссср. Там была полностью описана технология, даны составы смесей, приспособления, приготовление электролита, контроль материалов, отливка решеток, приготовление активной массы, сушка, сборка. Материалы сепараторов, конструкции мельниц для размола массы, прессы для пластин, литье и оснастка. и тд и тп. В те времена автомобильные аккумуляторы имели открытые перемычки и герметизацию смолой. Организация аккумуляторного цеха, охрана здоровья - этому уделялось значительное внимание. На видео конечно полнейшая кустарщина, пластин в сборке в два раза меньше и они отработанные. Ну такое себе ремонтерство.. Не останавливаться и развиваться
Чувак просто за копейки занимается убийством своего здоровья. Свинец это тяжелый металл, пары которого отлично заходят в дыхательные пути. А дальше здравствуй онкология... про то, что "отработку" он выльет в ближайшую канаву и говорить не стоит. Проблема не в нем, а в том, что в первобытную страну пришли технологии, с которыми они не умеют обращаться. Тут либо на палках сражаться, либо развиваться. Куда смотрит ООН
@@AWISECROW теоретически да. Практически - нет. Это будет экономически нецелесообразно. Новая батарея будет стоить в три - четыре раза дешевле, чем изготовленная с нуля. Это было актуально в послевоенное десятилетие, когда был жуткий дефицит всего, и вопрос стоимости/трудозатрат отходил на второй план. Когда тебе просто нужна батарея, но купить ее невозможно, остается только изготовить. Сейчас другое время
я думаю, все эти манипуляции имеют смысл, если банки были закорочены шламом. Пластины все равно сульфатированы необратимо. Емкость и ресурс будет дай бог половина от заводских

He handles highly corrosive acids and the liquid lead like a pro and in a Mad Max situation, he would be a valuable go-to guy for batteries. However, he is literally on a slow suicide path, everyday breathing in toxic fumes from acids, melted plastics & cumulative lead poisoning. Sad human state of affairs where people have no other choice to make enough just to eat.
Вспоминаю себя в детстве! Раньше валялись аккумуляторы прям на улице, а сколько кислоты вылили от баловства, ломали их кирпичном доставали эти пластины, отбивали палками и переплавляли в битки! И также ни очков но и перчаток небыло, и как никто не пострадал даже представить не могу!)))

I've spent a lot of time in the Philippines, you see a lot of the same ingenuity and resourcefullness there. When you're dirt poor nothing gets thrown away, everything can be reused somehow.
@@ThaFlyingDutchMen Handling and melting lead is toxic, especially to young men wanting to start a family. Causes a lot of birth defects and other problems. Melting plastic also.
Well..... 1) The battery terminals (which were lead) were replaced with solid solder which can contain lead, but is now-a-days lead-free and mostly tin. It will be too soft to maintain a good physical friction-based connection as is done w/ most terminal leads with the bolt that you tighten. Yes, it'll work at first, but quickly develop pitting and a loose connection. 2) The only restoration I saw was in replacing the separators, which would rid the battery of dendrites and floating contamination, but that's it. Sulfur buildup on the on plates would remain. Maybe they just didn't show this part, I am not sure. The overall process was very fun to see -- definitely a practice they've done many, many times. Overall, if I were to get a lead acid battery restored in India, this is about what I'd expect, but it's a long way from 'like-new.'
"with solid solder which can contain lead, but is now-a-days lead-free and mostly tin" Maybe in western countries, but where ever this man is (Sri lanka?), its clearly 20% tin 80% lead solder. In fact, you can buy them in the US as bars. Its just not common, and not used in commercial electronics due to regulations.
@@RS-ub3we Not sure how it's clearly 20/80 tin/lead, but let's assume it is. There's in principle three reasons I say it will have connectivity issues. 1) When he takes the original terminals off [ 0:19 ], you can see he's used a non-blunt point, and a hammer. Even with that, it wasn't easy. Fast forward to [ 7:42 ] when he is cutting the connecting leads, he's using a sharpened set of scissors, but he's able to cut it by hand. ^^ It's subjective, but which one looks softer to you? Perhaps the original was just a different (stronger) alloy. 2) He solders the connections using another 12v battery [ see 6:33 ]. If you've messed with Lead acid cells before, accidents happen, and shorting a fully charged battery will arc enough to slightly melt the terminal, but nothing like you see here [ 8:26 ]. 3) Lastly, and this one is anecdotal, but I've used leaded solder most my life, and while it is stronger than unleaded, it's not even close to that of a original battery terminal... granted I've mostly used 40/60 tin/lead, but still...
Great skill shown here, admist what sounds like a insane amount of noise. This is not for the unexperienced, lead is like asbestos, you have to respect it, wow the mix of acid, lead and plastic - don't try this at home, unless you know what you are doing. Thanks for the video, was very inforative as to what is inside a battery like this, you are braver tham me...
@@tinknal6449 nah, breathing in the lead vapors in is way worse. acid just is itchy in 1100~1300 grav like new batteries use. now if it's straight hot acid, it wouldn't last long in his container he used to pour, usually they get all soft and melty and he wouldn't dare burn up his hard work with that. the worst is the black sludge on the jars from off gassing its super concentrated and sticks like grease. that stuff tingles right away, the other stuff you notice like 30 to 40 mins later because it itches when you start to sweat.

This guy is toast. I used to own a body shop with a junkyard and I repaired radiators when I was in my mid 20's.

I cut up my repair tank and had chelation therapy to get the lead out and later had my mercury fillings replaced with composite.

Notice that the number of plates removed from the battery is far higher than the number of plates he's putting back in and just uses padding on both ends of the stack of plates to take up the extra space...
He's basically making a new battery, yes, but it's a new battery that's that's smaller in capacity than the original one would have been.
And maybe that's what people want to pay for. As long as it's not dishonest, then I have no problem with that. And obviously it has to be the same voltage - but I think that's what each section of the casing is for.
When labor is essentially free, the economics change drastically.
@@zachansen8293 Yes, each section is a cell. One set of plates with a separator creates a cell, but putting more alternating plates in there creates more cells in parallel as well as with the adjacent plates. The left and the right hand tabs are essentially in parallel, electrically speaking. Six cells at 2 volts nominal each, and in series, results in the nominal 12V.
The number of plates he's putting back in is likely lower because he's already sorted out which anode and cathode plates are still salvageable and which were beyond repair or reuse. Not all of the plates are reusable. One may use plates from multiple batteries to get one single battery that's somewhat in good shape, using just the plates that are still in good shape.
@@AnnaVannieuwenhuyse You'd think you would just salvage some from other batteries to make a smaller number of good ones instead of making a bunch of worse ones. But maybe that's what demand is for.

There is a lot of craftsmanship involved because batteries are not designed to be refurbished. You have to intimately understand how it actually works and how it's manufactured in order to do something like this.
Never in my life have I seen or heard of a battery being rebuilt. Extremely toxic process involved there coming in contact with lead and burning plastic but the skill and innovation is fascinating. I take my hat off to this gentleman and anyone else around the world keeping the wheels turning in their society.
Last I heard -- although the info is YEARS out of date now, if not decades -- Bangladesh was the place to go for battery rebuilding. You wonder where your recycled Duracells and Die-Hards go? You're looking at it. Like it or not, this is what that core charge at Advance Auto buys you. Love it or hate it -- the companies that did it don't care. It was cheap for them and that's what they think matters.
Welcome to the modern world. I'm not here to peddle a better way. I don't have one of those today. But this is the life of those who make possible the lives of those of us in the cushy parts of the world. This is how the other half lives... oh, and it's a lot more than half nowadays. By the way, if you want to know where your electronics go... that would be Guiyu, China, for the most part. Technically illegal for decades now... nobody cares. The boats will come as long as there are people still alive and willing to work.
When you think about it, we live in a utopia. I live in America. For my specific county in my specific state, median income was a bit over $45k in 2020. The per capita income of Bangladesh as a country was the equivalent of $2227 for 2020. Both of those figures are in 2020 US Dollars; in 2022 US Dollars, that's almost $43k where I live and roughly $2383 in Bangladesh. Say what you want about the US government -- and there's plenty to say, wherever you lay on the political spectrum, let's be honest -- but most of our civil issues don't have to deal with things like minor municipalities not having any running water at all and thus every family in that entire village (we'd say small town) having to walk for multiple hours every day to get water -- the luxury of something like a bicycle, let alone any sort of motorized vehicle, being distinctly aspirational for most folks at that economic level -- and having kerosene fires routinely burning down their dwellings because that's how they heat, cook, and light the place; it's all they can get -- the electrical grid in most poorer countries is, let's face it, not the sturdiest even in the larger cities, and it simply doesn't exist outside of them. There's no money for that kind of infrastructure.
This is how you get your Starbucks Shangri-La. This is the price of utopia.

Two, what is allowed in the videos is different from what's in the comments.
Three, most of us in the West, particularly in America, tend to be a bit ignorant of stuff like this.

I just never got the opportunity to do anything with what I had; as soon as I got it, my world fell apart and now I'm a very different person with a very different life.
Four, I'm genuinely sorry to hear that you live in such a difficult country. Just because we live so well, doesn't mean you should not. Probably there should be some sort of middling-out... sad to say, enough of us are too comfy and it will never happen while countries like mine remain as they are, but perhaps someday... remember the phrase: "all things end". For better or worse, there are no exceptions.

Actually, this is in Pakistan. You can tell from the dress style, urdu writing, phone numbers car license plates etc. Not that in India "informal" i.e. Not under pollution regulations, does not take place. There are large unauthorized recyclers, about a 1000, in India that smelt the lead at low cost because of hoodwinking of pollution standards, but the lead supply chain then goes into battery manufacturers plants. Once you have the lead, manufacturing can be done on a large scale with semiautomation with much better efficiency and low cost. Sitting on the sidewalk and poring melted lead by hand and plastic welding by lighting the plastic on fire is inefficient, although requiring high degree of skill and necessary when you don't have alternatives. Pakistani people show the same jugaad as Indian people, but most of the fruit of their sweat is skimmed off by the Army and extraordinarily corrupt polity, even by south asian standards.

Ну максимум поднял ток отдачи на какое-то время (ну так можно было просто промыть его и электролит поменять).

Someone put a lot of thought into how to recondition those batteries, amazing what can be achieved with basic tools and a skilled hand and mind....
many things in life are simple. But if you want to be done in safe way, that would make things complicated. Like pouring Acid from a water jug and boiling lead in a wok.
The hard part is inventing the first or improving the process of creating the tech.
Once it's out, mechanics and those who service these things can usually repair the most advanced tech using pretty rudimentary tools.

Lead acid batteries are (ignoring the plastic housing and paper separators) basically 100% recyclable. Wish the same could be said for all battery technology.
Lead acid is inferior to lithium ion. Can't even compare
@@phillyd2018 the only place they lose out is upfront costs and, as demonstrated above, user serviceability :)
@@phillyd2018 So why don't we use Li-Ion in cars and just everywhere? Because Li-Ion has pros and cons about it. Same as Ni-Cd batteries.
@@CitarNosis317 li-ion has less cranking amps I think mainly.
@@phillyd2018 In terms of energy density, yes, but it's bad engineering to dismiss them solely on that. LiPo batteries cannot compete in terms of current output. Not only that but lead acid charge/discharge characteristics are very forgiving, they won't blink at a dead short. Also, Lead acid likes to be stored at 100% charge, meaning they are ready to go when you need them. Try that with LiPo and you'll be doing damage to them.

Mix all of that with the exhaust he's straight inhaling at face level by all of that passing traffic and I feel for the guy.
Great example of real recycling. I do hope though as his business picks up that he will look into and invest into some good safety gear and procedures.
Dish gloves, as those appear to be, aren't rated for acid. I wonder how many chemical burns he's endured. Also, he works so close to the fumes of the job. It won't take long for metals and fumes to take their toll. Then there's the spilling of old battery contents on the ground, which over time will have a detrimental effect on the area.
I applaud the guys ingenuity and expertise. I also feel bad for him and the surrounding area because of the long term toll doing things that way will take on him and others.
We here in supposedly advanced countries have learned from the pain and suffering of others that safety requirements and standards are needed. It looks like he's an entrepreneur and not an employee, so if anybody knows him, maybe help him to find online the meds sheets for the chemicals and metals he's working with. It's wouldn't take much to get acid rated gloves and some sort of respiratory gear. Also, he may get some energy savings if he enclosed the burner with bricks.
I would hate for us to applaud him and in not too long he starts to feel the effects of metal poisoning or have organ damage from absorbing toxic metals and chemicals over time.
His buisness won’t pick up , he will do that until someone cheaper comes along or he dies from lead poisoning
@@paulbackhard6315 This is the reality.
Exactly what I was thinking. I was cringing very hard when he was cleaning the old battery waste and washing it with water on the ground. It must be disposed properly as it can slowly seep into ground reservoirs and potable drinking areas. I also applaud his work though. I would recommend wearing protective gear when he was soldering, especially considering lead fumes can have a serious detrimental effect to your health with respirated. I’m pretty sure this took place in Bangladesh or Pakistan so I am not familiar with their environmental laws.

Recycling isn’t the same as refurbishment.

@@nadlug9199 the vast majority of “recycled” stuff just gets shipped to china & stuffed into a landfill & the American government is so generous with our money there’s millions in kickbacks leftover for those same politicians
Practically 100% of car/truck batteries get recycled. They’re a notable exception to the “ship it all to poor countries” of most recycling. In wealthy countries the recycling is performed very differently (via shredding and then separating the materials by flotation), but it’s done because a) the lead is so easy to recycle b) car batteries are expensive to ship because of their weight, and c) they’re not allowed in landfill or incinerators due to the lead.
Not amazing at all as it was mentioned this make huge harm to environmelt as all the servis and spill vill be washed to soil or river with first rain. Not mentioning danger for the person himself. And Im doubfull that acid and derbis washed from old battery is properly handled and destroyed. I understand its simply done because of needs but it is great example how it must not be done.

Besides the health concerns -- how good are the remanufactured batteries? I have somewhere in the back of my mind the idea that "dead" batteries are bad because both the anode and the cathode have changed into lead sulphate. What does it take to reverse that change?
You can't really reverse it. It's a chemical change. Soft of like burning wood and it turning into ash. All you can do really is scoop it out and replace it. It's really simple if it wasn't for all the lead.
My grandfather was a heavy machinery mechanic in Eastern Europe from the 60s on. These were routine procedures in Europe too when there was a scarcity of almost everything. Instead of the molten plastic they’d use molten asphalt as it’s easier to work with.

@@MetallicReg lead poisoning is 100% worse than pollution
@@CarsandChris You just don’t know the extent and the different ways of pollution there.
The sulphuric acid will quickly dehydrate and corrode the gloves he's wearing, the heat generated will likely cause worse burns than if he wore no gloves at all. The worst part is that the process of extracting the plates produces lots of small pieces and particles of the plate alloy which includes additives like arsenic, antimony and other elements to enhance the properties of the plate, when it dries it produces a dust that clings to the skin and clothes and he'll bring that poison home with him transferring it to whoever comes in contact with him. This is an image of the ingenuity that poverty creates.
While a primitive approach doing it all by hand...they are getting the most out of their resources and keeping things out of the landfill as long as possible. Good job!

Seems more like a proper Battery Rebuild rather than a Restoration. Awesome!
Была у меня книга по ремонту аккумуляторных батарей, 1950-55 года, ссср. Там была полностью описана технология, даны составы смесей, приспособления, приготовление электролита, контроль материалов, отливка решеток, приготовление активной массы, сушка, сборка. Материалы сепараторов, конструкции мельниц для размола массы, прессы для пластин, литье и оснастка. и тд и тп. В те времена автомобильные аккумуляторы имели открытые перемычки и герметизацию смолой. Организация аккумуляторного цеха, охрана здоровья - этому уделялось значительное внимание. На видео конечно полнейшая кустарщина, пластин в сборке в два раза меньше и они отработанные. Ну такое себе ремонтерство.. Не останавливаться и развиваться
Была у меня книга в СССР.... Походу в СССР всё было, только не понимали (
Чувак просто за копейки занимается убийством своего здоровья. Свинец это тяжелый металл, пары которого отлично заходят в дыхательные пути. А дальше здравствуй онкология... про то, что "отработку" он выльет в ближайшую канаву и говорить не стоит. Проблема не в нем, а в том, что в первобытную страну пришли технологии, с которыми они не умеют обращаться. Тут либо на палках сражаться, либо развиваться. Куда смотрит ООН
You can start a business from one book.
@@AWISECROW теоретически да. Практически - нет. Это будет экономически нецелесообразно. Новая батарея будет стоить в три - четыре раза дешевле, чем изготовленная с нуля. Это было актуально в послевоенное десятилетие, когда был жуткий дефицит всего, и вопрос стоимости/трудозатрат отходил на второй план. Когда тебе просто нужна батарея, но купить ее невозможно, остается только изготовить. Сейчас другое время
я думаю, все эти манипуляции имеют смысл, если банки были закорочены шламом. Пластины все равно сульфатированы необратимо. Емкость и ресурс будет дай бог половина от заводских
Very interesting to see this done. One slight slip could be catastrophic since he has almost no protective equipment. The toxic fumes are ridiculous. I hope he survives and moves into a healthier career,
Какая карьера? Когда средняя зарплата в Индии меньше 150 $ в месяц? Там главное выжить. Хоть как. У меня, примерно 350$ в России. И это очень мало...
@@Рустам-хан I make about that in a day!
Absolutely Fascinating. We take so much for granted in this world of technology. Great Work my friend!
In Canada and US it's done on mass scale, in India it's a nice shop he got there !! He did a damn good job IMO.
@@minion7111 That video is from Pakistan. However, it should be very similar in India as well.
Toxic on so many levels. The fumes from the molten lead ( learned about that one casting bullets), the lead on your skin, acid vapors and so on.
Don't forget the unfiltered runoff. I understand he needs to make a living, but for god's sake, he should put something on the floor and he shouldn't touch it with your bare hands. He's getting lead everywhere.
No it's not
@@mrpolnar1 there is a reason why they banned lead on crayons. It is extremely toxic to humans
I thought that it was aluminum. 😯
He handles highly corrosive acids and the liquid lead like a pro and in a Mad Max situation, he would be a valuable go-to guy for batteries. However, he is literally on a slow suicide path, everyday breathing in toxic fumes from acids, melted plastics & cumulative lead poisoning. Sad human state of affairs where people have no other choice to make enough just to eat.
Вспоминаю себя в детстве! Раньше валялись аккумуляторы прям на улице, а сколько кислоты вылили от баловства, ломали их кирпичном доставали эти пластины, отбивали палками и переплавляли в битки! И также ни очков но и перчаток небыло, и как никто не пострадал даже представить не могу!)))
Раньше аккумуляторы были разборный, банки меняли
@@Nik_13rus раньше гудрон битум был залит сверху в текстолитовую, или как там ее называли дымовушку, я написал не про то что было разборное или нет, мы ломали аккумуляторы из пластика белые были аккумуляторы от грузовиков.
@@Ramazanovich от того из какого материала сделан корпус, не меняет его содержимого, тот же свинец и раствор серной кислоты. Хотя сегодня есть какие-то геливые аккумуляторы, был у меня такой - замерз зимой...

I've spent a lot of time in the Philippines, you see a lot of the same ingenuity and resourcefullness there. When you're dirt poor nothing gets thrown away, everything can be reused somehow.
My 3 uncles each used to do the same in the 80's & 90's. Each had their own shop. But the fumes where very dangerous
Yeah, it's something to be done by older men.
Why
@@ThaFlyingDutchMen Handling and melting lead is toxic, especially to young men wanting to start a family. Causes a lot of birth defects and other problems. Melting plastic also.
Helps that this guy is doing it outside
@@TuneStunnaMusic Yes, it does. Glad he's not indoors.
Well.....
1) The battery terminals (which were lead) were replaced with solid solder which can contain lead, but is now-a-days lead-free and mostly tin. It will be too soft to maintain a good physical friction-based connection as is done w/ most terminal leads with the bolt that you tighten. Yes, it'll work at first, but quickly develop pitting and a loose connection.
2) The only restoration I saw was in replacing the separators, which would rid the battery of dendrites and floating contamination, but that's it. Sulfur buildup on the on plates would remain. Maybe they just didn't show this part, I am not sure. The overall process was very fun to see -- definitely a practice they've done many, many times.
Overall, if I were to get a lead acid battery restored in India, this is about what I'd expect, but it's a long way from 'like-new.'
Yes.
"with solid solder which can contain lead, but is now-a-days lead-free and mostly tin"
Maybe in western countries, but where ever this man is (Sri lanka?), its clearly 20% tin 80% lead solder. In fact, you can buy them in the US as bars. Its just not common, and not used in commercial electronics due to regulations.
@@RS-ub3we Not sure how it's clearly 20/80 tin/lead, but let's assume it is. There's in principle three reasons I say it will have connectivity issues.
1) When he takes the original terminals off [ 0:19 ], you can see he's used a non-blunt point, and a hammer. Even with that, it wasn't easy.
Fast forward to [ 7:42 ] when he is cutting the connecting leads, he's using a sharpened set of scissors, but he's able to cut it by hand.
^^ It's subjective, but which one looks softer to you? Perhaps the original was just a different (stronger) alloy.
2) He solders the connections using another 12v battery [ see 6:33 ]. If you've messed with Lead acid cells before, accidents happen, and shorting a fully charged battery will arc enough to slightly melt the terminal, but nothing like you see here [ 8:26 ].
3) Lastly, and this one is anecdotal, but I've used leaded solder most my life, and while it is stronger than unleaded, it's not even close to that of a original battery terminal... granted I've mostly used 40/60 tin/lead, but still...
@@RS-ub3we dude, just listen to the guy.. He clearly knows what is he talking about.
That all may be true, but you have to admit that his mustache is regulation and up to par.
Great skill shown here, admist what sounds like a insane amount of noise. This is not for the unexperienced, lead is like asbestos, you have to respect it, wow the mix of acid, lead and plastic - don't try this at home, unless you know what you are doing. Thanks for the video, was very inforative as to what is inside a battery like this, you are braver tham me...
The acid is a much greater hazzard.
@@tinknal6449 nah, breathing in the lead vapors in is way worse. acid just is itchy in 1100~1300 grav like new batteries use. now if it's straight hot acid, it wouldn't last long in his container he used to pour, usually they get all soft and melty and he wouldn't dare burn up his hard work with that.
the worst is the black sludge on the jars from off gassing its super concentrated and sticks like grease. that stuff tingles right away, the other stuff you notice like 30 to 40 mins later because it itches when you start to sweat.
@@matthewmenteer5673 He's outside. Lead vapor really isn't a big issue under those conditions.
This man is a real mister, gentleman.

А что там трудного то, я бы ещё понял лопатой махать.
beautiful, i've learned something useful here, thank you, i was having battery construction questions arising from getting the most life out of my batteries and this helped a lot.
