How to Bring a Dead Lead Acid Battery Back to Life || How to Recondition & Repair Dead Old Battery #deadoldbatteryrestoration #howtorestoreabattery #repairingleadacidbattery
It is certainly true that these hard working people are putting themselves at great risk by exposure to lead and other toxic substances. But, not having a job and no money is far more deadly there. They either work in whatever enviroment is required to produce an income, or their families starve. We don't fully appreciate just how good we have it here in the U.S.A
@@heyya2261 isnt there governments system that gives money who cant find jobs :P and finding jobs for them or something like that. while on this gods forgotten countries the system works jut on papers :P
да, тоже испугался. До этого я всё не мог понять, когда он после эдакова предварительного смачивания дистиллированной водой секций с решётками начнёт кислотой их заправлять. Думал, мало ли, может кислоту немного разбавляют так. Ан нет. Он даже перчаток и маски не надел.
Fantastic. They aren't reconditioning, they are rebuilding. LOL. Coool! Would be nice if they were able to observe more health and safety protections but a man does what he has to do to feed his family.
@@jordanmccarthy9851 Are you kidding?tell you people,dont throw garbage,toxic factory and dont throw anything in ganges,you want Blame them first? You need blame you people at ganges first
Hats off the craftsmanship. Lots of haters in the comment section here, yes there are health hazards, but one's got to do what needs to be done to keep moving. Glad they are recycling resources somehow rather than just creating more waste and silently dumping them to another third world country.
Помнится в 70-х меня аккумуляторщик научил старые батареи восстанавливать. АКБ в то время были дефицит , а у меня мотоцикл, где взять.Был у него сухой новый тракторный АКБ, так мы из больших пластин ножовкой по металлу аккуратно в размер нарезали пластин, а затем в свой корпус помещали, паяльником перемычки спаивали, а сверху как и положено заливали мастикой и всё нормально работало. Я так раза три наверное АКБ ремонтировал. Года по три ходил.
Great respect for these technicians who have been able to design simple processes to renovate what has already been produced in factories that are probably highly automated. The same respect for the workers who master so well the operations they carry out in difficult conditions that are not good for their health.
They are not concerned with life longevity as they are concerned with getting enough food to live today. Longevity is a problem/fear of first world workers, possibly not exclusively.
Okay... I admire his talent and hard work, but what about his personal safety? No respirator mask, working with lead, sulfuric acid. Direct skin contact with highly toxic material, no gloves, no safety shoes. Under that scenario, he will be lucky if he get to ages 40's. That's why we get OSHA and EPA.... my two cents.
One thing to note is that almost all Anode plates are intact and used again while all cathode plates (lead oxide ) are ruined, so reconditioning the batteries would save a lot of money. 👍
Херня это все и мертвому припарки. Да, в теплой Индии оно может и крутанет какой-то дохлый пепелац. Но они пихают туда старые пластины с засульфатированными порами. По-нормальному нужна заменять обмазку пластин и формировать их. Но для этого нужно шарить в АКБ и иметь оборудование. Так, что, если кто хочет в гараже таким позаниматься, не тратьте время. ;)
O que acho muito interessante, aqui no Brasil o pessoal tem leis trabalhistas, leis ambientais, EPIS, insalubridade etc., e agente vê o pessoal trabalhando nervoso, carrancudo, chingando e fazendo uma porcaria de serviço. Nos vídeos aí o pessoal trabalha numa condição totalmente adversa que temos aqui, reparem no semblante deles, tem uma expressão de contentamento no que fazem. Gosto muito de ver eles trabalhando. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Meu irmão por favor, tenha a vontade de trabalhar sem calçado com metal derretido. Alemanha, Japão e todo o mundo desenvolvido tem leis laborais, ambientais, etc. A paga e a diferença.
Concordo que temos de ser mais amigáveis. Mas no Brasil temos muito atraso ainda, em vários setores, no que se refere a Saúde do Trabalho temos leis e normas desatualizadas, parâmetros muito discrepantes do que se encontra em países desenvolvidos, um exemplo já que estamos vendo a exposição de um trabalhador ao chumbo, no Brasil é tolerável ter até 40mcg de chumbo no sangue enquanto em vários países é 5mcg, pesquise sobre a cidade de Santo Amaro e o que aconteceu por lá, poderia citar muitos problemas e defasagens, os trabalhadores não tem muita informação e quando tem muitos a ignoram, temos péssima fiscalização e várias empresas não dão a mínima infelizmente!
Sabe meus heróis da restituição das baterias de Auto. Assisti o vídeo e gostei. Continue assim. Não deixe marcas de que foi reformada porque os serviços de vocês tem qualidade de produto novo. há e não deixe de cuidarem da vossa saúde!!! (Eu ví em seus rostos contentamento) Um abraço à toda turma DEUS abençoe vocês valeu Tchau!!!
@@ostapbender6511 тут скорее всего сдаешь старый и получаешь вот такой восстановленный, а в теплых странах машину можно от горсти пальчиковых батареек завести, емкость и пусковой ток в теплое время года не так критичен. я летом трактор 45 аккумом завожу, а по паспорту 190 должен быть. В сильный мороз даже 190 может не хватить, при том, что масло не самое дешевое, не нулевка, конечно, но и не солидол. Многое от климата зависит, им хватает, видимо.
This is fascinating but absolutely horrifying to see how pollution just goes to the drains and on the ground, and how no worker has no safety gear of any kind and toxic fumes and heavy metal is everywhere
Remember this is not a first world country, they have no funding, no establishments, no stable government etc etc. they do this just to get by in life and feed their families. I know this struggle first hand as a British Pakistani.
Be certain to catch Ahmad does Fuel Rods. A three-part series where our host explains recovering "spent" rods and how primary cooling water is in fact quite safe. Indeed not to be missed!
I wonder what they do to condition those lead plates before reuse? Definitely a reduction in CA and Ahr in losing the mesh plate and what looks like less plates. Still better than no battery. I am always amazed at the ingenuity when the need exists.
Rebuilding is a amazing thing and this people are Amazing. These men has to be encouraged by Governments. Then they can do it with safety and expand their businesses.
Federal assistindo aqui de Arapoanga DF, trabalho ainda pre Histórico, num Pais de potência, muito artesanal, isso tudo na Índia, Federal é tudo muito louco, tem que assistir tudo, os caras são feras, reciclando tudo, alooooooooou!...
@@user-bd5tn5hj4b На всех заводских акумах банки изолированы друг от друга. Перемычки проходят через стенки, но электролит нет. В противном случае неизбежен саморазряд батареи.
Was wondering how I could get one looks better than the original one! Actually I just wanna work there working conditions are second to none I bet breathing those lead fumes are really healthy better than cigarette smoke no second hand toxic lead fumes here!!! No humans harmed in this video!!!😂😂😂
I have done this myself. As long as the lead plates haven't warped badly, just cleaning the battery out with bicarbonate of soda and then adding new battery acid has brought them back to life and lasted for a good few years. However new batteries are so cheap now it's not worth bothering as you can get 1/3 of the value off trading in your old battery. (here in the UK)
sorry mate but you've not done this and bicarb soda won't get rid of the lead sulfate which accumulates on the plates and can be almost impossible to remove chemically. A lead acid battery works by immersing lead plates in sulfuric acid and water, the applying a charge. The polarity of the charge causes lead dioxide to build up on one plate (which becomes the positive) by stripping oxygen from the water (H2O) and releasing hydrogen (hence the warning on your battery about charging in a ventilated place). The other plate, the negative, remains pure lead and as the water is stripped out, you end up with a concentrated sulfuric acid mix. So when a battery is charged, the acid is strong. When the battery is discharged, the acid is weak, almost always water. When you apply a load, you create an external circuit which lets ions flow from the negative (lead dioxide) terminal to the positive pure lead terminal, this is electrical current or amps as we know it. As the battery discharges, the oxygen is ripped from the lead dioxide plate (leaving only lead), and the oxygen combines with the hydrogen from the sulfuric acid (which is made up of hydrogen + sulfate) to create water, and the sulfate from the sulfuric acid combines with the pure lead of the negative terminal to create lead sulfate. The more this happens, the more the battery discharges until you get lead sulfate on the negative, pure lead on the positive and water. Charging it reverses the process, forcing the sulfate off the lead, into the water to create sulfuric acid, and forcing the excess oxygen back onto the clean lead plate to recreate lead dioxide. Over time, particularly if the battery is left to deeply discharge, the lead sulfate crystalises (chemically gets stronger) and becomes difficult (impossible) to force back the other way and to recharge the battery. Enough of these cycles and the battery deteriorates and lLead sulfation is the main reason these batteries fail over time and stop holding charge. Adding new acid to battery in this state is waste of time and won't magically rejuvenate it because it won't force the lead sulfate back into solution. Actually it will make it harder, because there is less water and more acid, so a bit like it gets more difficult to blow up a balloon as it gets more air into it. For a failing battery in this, you actually want demineralised water and lots of voltage - way over normal charging voltage, which can (but not always) take the crystalised sulfate ions from the lead and back into sulfuric acid. The guys in this video are creating the battery from scratch, in particular they use new plates which I bet they get by melting down the old sulfated plates and getting back pure lead and making effectively a (chemically) brand new battery. I am sure you got a few good years out of what you thought was a dead battery but you did not do what the guys in the video have done.
@@astrawally8448 Correct on all points. And the way these guys are putting the top on the battery without provision for intercell electrolyte isolation will shorten the life of the rebuilt battery.
@@quantumleap359 yeah I noticed that they didn't seal up the holes provided for the original conductors between the cells. Plus, sloshing or driving on an hill would mix the electrolyte over the tops of the cells.
These workers amaze me that with all their skills they don't have the skills to create better work shops and working conditions for themselves to work in.
You just won the internet. Why these people cannot evolve is because they lack the ability to improve. They won't evolve. Yes, evolution takes a millennia, but with todays tech, these people are not even breaking even.
@@vatnikforvdv8754 they often can't afford gloves and face masks. It's as simple as that. As a worker in shops like that you make $1.50 a day if you have bad luck. Also, those guys just don't care. I spent a lot of time in India, Pakistan and Iran. It takes a long time to get accustomed to the total neglect of life and health there.
A friend has a classic car and he had the problem to get a 6 volts starter battery. So we rebuilt his old battery like these guys, except we took the lead inserts from a new 12v battery. The other guys from the classic car and moto club were impressed, so we took an another 6v battery and installed inside a lithium battery. So this second type of rebuilt was kinda upgrade to the oldfashion acid type, but looks still old.
Isn’t it basically a brand new battery in a old case? Looked like they used all new plate and mat. Would think it would be almost as good as new depending on the thickness of lead they use
Should be fine. May not have the lifespan of a factory produced battery, as they use special grid patterns and better lead-sulfate mixes etc. but will put out the voltage and amps required.
Um trabalhador igual a este do vídeo, já apresenta sinais claros de Saturnismo, ele não só se contamina mas a vários que estão em um raio próximo dele, e ainda leva a contaminação para dentro de casa, e se tiver crianças elas podem estar condenadas a sofrer por isso, já que criança são as mais afetadas pelo chumbo, por estarem em desenvolvimento dos sistema nervoso central e por absorverem bem mais do que os adultos, o chumbo se liga ao cálcio dos ossos e pode levará até 25 anos para sair, qualquer dose de chumbo no sangue já traz efeitos a saúde principalmente ao Sistema Nervoso Central, a estatísticas correlacionando até 30% do retado mental com intoxicações com chumbo por crianças, e a perda de QI já é um fato, agora imagine o que uma família dessa não passa é uma realidade muito triste! Pesquise sobre Saturnismo e veja os efeitos!
@@michaelscarn2175 realmente nao tinha noção que o chumbo fazia tantos mau asim to achando que to ata com isso por perder a memoria rsrsrsr brincadeira ,mais é serio mesmo o perigo
My way to reuse car battery is just throw the guts to trash and reuse the case with LiFePO4 with the BMS included. Make 2 positive terminal, one from BMS and the other directly to battery. This way the starter motor is not taking power through the BMS and kills it as it can suck like 400-600 amps when cold cranking and the BMS is used to take power to charge from alternator
That's great and all. But would someone please explain Lead Poisoning to them and how the process they use puts their hands in direct contact *repeatedly* with the Lead Dioxide from the Positive Electrode as well as the Lead from the Negative Electrode. And if they're doing it all day every day. ..they're going to get Royally fucked. I'm betting I'm not the first to bring this up but it still it freaked me out watching all three of them in constant contact with it as they put the sheets together again. And the fumes are far worse. Like the fumes coming off the bowl of molten lead they're all sitting around. And *every* time he puts heat to any part of the lead. They'll notice the *Dire Effects* ruining their lives in about a year, going the way they are in this video.
@@glutenfreegam3r177 I get that. But there's ways to do it safe with the lead, then eat. It's an awesome idea what they're doing. I'd just hate loved ones to miss out on enjoying a future with all of them. Lead poisoning isn't a fun way to die.
Skin contact is not all that dangerous, but hands, body have to be thoroughly cleaned/scrubbed etc. after contact along with clothes, and if you touch your face, nose or mouth etc. or breath in any lead fumes / dust it will cause damage over the long-term with exposure. Lead buildup in the body will cause all sorts of painful ailments, nerve / kidney damage etc, eventually brain-damage / death. Ideally thin disposable gloves would be used, and working at a bench, so you're not sitting in the lead etc.
They don't have the education to know and their boss/owner doesn't care. No HSE laws get enforced in Pakistan. When they die just get another guy off the street.
Flushing acid and lead straight into the drains. Lovely. Plus the fumes from burning that plastic are toxic and let's not get started on working with lead. Poor bastards.
I have recently discovered a little know statistic - 100% of human beings, creatures large and small and even the tiniest of insects will ALL die of something. Crazy, innit?
I like how they wash the hydrochloric acid from old batteries right in the sewer, which no doubt drains right into the Ganges. Then when he's refilling the new batteries he just gets the acid all over his hands. I love these videos, and thank God every day that I don't have to do these things......
Wow.... wow astounding it it more cost effective to do this, than buy a brand new battery mass produced in an automated factory. Wow, that these things even work considering the environment they are built in, and wow lack of even the slightest hint of OH&S. Interesting video to watch.. oh and wow to putting 4 different type of 12V batteries in series and smashing them with a 48V charger lol.
Хорошо, что в аккумуляторах нет никаких опасных химических элементов и с ними можно работать "на кортах" в тапках и без какой-то дополнительной защиты...
