It's been more then 8 years yet this is still the best summary on how a battery works.

Making use of the kzread.infoUgkxcJ22tnHH9l1vjdIdEIG27iOG55P7LXI8 reconditioning plan, I just saved 2 auto batteries from being completely junked. The guides were very simple to follow. I wish I would have found this years ago! You may use the guide to recondition any battery type

beware scam

Lead acid batteries are still practical, not only because of their unique properties that aren't matched by any other battery type, but also because we have an amazing lead-recycling infrastructure in place -- and we've had that in place for decades now! Lead acid batteries are *the* most recycled item -- more than 99% of all lead-acid batteries used today are recycled! (Compare that to 50% of aluminum cans, and 70% of office paper!) In fact, it's very likely that the lead in your car battery today was mined 50 or more years ago! It's been recycled that many times!

its a simple process to create and so long as we pay attention to recycling easy to reuse or enrich the acid

Capacitor banks are way better than car batteries... look em up

Really enjoyed this one, especially the conversion of the sli to deep cycle illustration.

I really enjoyed the explanation of trade-offs. As an engineer, I find that is the hardest thing to explain to the users; no matter what the design, there will always be some kind of trade off.

Do a kickstarter. Make videos and put it in the description. People love this stuff!

Bill, I just wanted to say this was my favorite topic in the companion book and I enjoyed the video very much. The visuals in this video helped me understand the concepts even better. Thank you!

Great job on these videos! Your explanations are clear and concise and you don't dumb things down, I'm thoroughly impressed and I want to thank you for taking your time to do this.

KZread's last hope. Literally the only videos I get excited to see uploaded to this site.

i usually don't subscribe to any channel but after watching, i had to. your explanation was so detailed yet simple enough to understand and you have good practical examples.

im thinking of transferring out of my university because im an electrical engineer but all my physics and chem teachers are horrible most of the stuff i have to learn on my own and spend hours researching it because they cant explain it, you make me feel like transferring to the University of Illinois because your sooo goodd at explaining complex concepts! i love your videos

Watching the videos and reading the book gives me no end of appreciation for engineers. Thanks for everything.

Great quality content. Straight to the point. Short, concise, knowledge-packed video.

This channel is an inspiration to me.

excellent way Bill presents his video classes. superb tutor.

This may be the best explanation I've seen. Even answered a question that arose in my head regarding "off-the-grid" power storage app.Thanks!

Very educational video. I change lead motive power batteries at work and always wanted to see the inside of one. Soon I will be a battery technician repairing or replacing busted cells.

Just to let you know, that your videos are being watched all the way in Trnava, Čačak, Serbia. :)

I really liked this video. I never really knew how those batteries worked. I always learn something new with your videos. Kudos to you and your entire team!! Great Job Everyone!!

One of my favorite personalities on youtube.

Such an underrated channel.

I'm glad to read that you are busy making more videos. One point also worth considering when discussing lead acid batteries is that the acid freezing point is much higher when the battery is discharged. So, if you store equipment outside in winter, the battery should not be allowed to discharge completely, for two reasons. First, sulphation may shorten the life of the battery, and second, the discharged battery may freeze and crack, mechanically killing it much more quickly.

Good on ya mate, well done. The perfect balance of complexity and time. Would love to see scope and sequence across other battery systems like LiPo for my students - and myself! Keep up the great work, and the books too!

This man has taught me so much, and made me even more interested in things that I know about

Just watched all of your videos in a sitting. I love them. Keep up the great work. I'm definitely going to get your book soon. Thank you for these, you're awesome!

I really enjoyed reading your book, but please please please release the next season sooner this time! I love these videos and can't wait for more!

Bring back Engineer Guy! I need more!

This is rapidly becoming my favourite KZread channel. Bill, have you thought about doing some videos explaining more simpler concepts of engineering (eg: electrical concepts, ohms, amps, current; or the laws of thermodynamics, etc etc) Your presenting style would really lend itself well to it, imho. Definitely better than my high school chem/physics teacher. :) anyway.

I like this channel very much for the simple explanations, but this video was surprisingly specific but straightforward to follow. Very good stuff.

I love this guy. Explain easy and clear all about the technology. Very, very interesting.

Mark Hamill is so multi-talented

Thanks for the update. Really looking foward to what you have next!

Your explanations are perfect . Thank You .

I love your work, Bill. I would love it if you dedicated a few episodes to a few mechanical processes that makes cars work. Like the internal combustion engine, or the differential or anything related.

excellent production, greatly informative. I completely agree regarding "natures gift" to us. Simple, clear, well done.

thank you for all the wonderful knowledge. Every time after watching your videos (and i've seen all of them) I feel like curing cancer or creating renewable energy, or some magnificent feat through the intricate designs only achieved by engineers.

You have a great video here, You're very professional and the video is well edited so that it is all around a very well made teaching video.

Very helpful, concise and precise, thank you Sir

I could watch these videos all day

When are you coming out with more videos?! I've learned so much from them and I can't wait for more!

Very informative information, Thank you for explaining this in a manner I can understand.

A tip for future videos. Don't shrug your shoulder so often. Once you notice it, it's hard to ignore it. Love your videos.

I don't know why but I geek out for battery tech.🤷‍♂️🔋

Excellent video. Extremely informative, and very well presented. A well deserved thumbs up from me! :)

one of the best channel on youtube....by quite a long shot.....

Beautiful and amazing video Bill like always.

I love this guy show, Excellent explaining everything. Thnkss

That would be amazing. I intend on doing engineering in college, but can't decide what field to delve into, most likely mechanical, aeronautical or electronic. Alas I'm only 17 yet, but your videos give me a head start.

Thank you for the great explanation!

Respected Sir, thanks for such awesome videos giving informations. this is really an eye opener for us. you are really blessed.

Thank you very much for this video.

Please keep going beyond theory as you do in this video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Please I really miss your videos and y would enjoy more of them. Thanks for your efforts . I know you are working on it but Zhou have a lot of supporters encouraging you here!

this the best channel on youtube. period.

In solution, sulphuric acid forms the equilibrium H2SO4(aq) ↔ HSO4-(aq) + H+(aq). The presence of the proton (H+ ion) is what makes a solution acidic. The acid's conjugate anion (HSO4-) is what was shown reacting in the equations.

Thank you, engineer guy, your videos are very amusing, informative and useful. Hello from cold Russia.

Thank you for making such interesting videos.

Excellent explanation.

Thanks for showing me once and for all what is inside my car battery. :-)

Excellent video. I'm reading the Atomic Clock chapter on my Kindle version of your book. Very Interesting.

Listening to you, I feel I know everything. Thank you...

Good video with real lead acid battery. Thanks.

You are a brilliant teacher.

Eloquent and precise.

"now with current technology" lol unintended puns, though....

No idea what any of this means, but just hearing you explain scientific stuff and display all these cool things intruiges me enough. 👍

When bill whips the battery around and it has no pants... you know the man is serious.

As always, a wonderful video. Saw that the book is now on iBooks, so I bought it!

I think it's a prefect explanation!👍

Amazing how this school has two huge KZread channels, this one and IllinoisEnergyProfessor's

Very well presented, Bill. Great videos! Thank you :)

I can't believe there are 3 people dislike this great video. Keep up the good work.

You were always my saver...now too...since the starting of my class 12!

Excellent video. Have there been any recent developments in graphite gel capacitors? I heard some years ago they are a potential replacement for conventional batteries as we know them.

you've got to love this guys voice! :)

Thanks a lot for making this!

Thanks for another knowledge bomb! Great video!

Excellent video!

Excellent content. Bravo!

Looking forward to your upcoming videos, i saw the ones you are working on atm looks interesting.

Put up a donation page and make this happen! You have a great teaching style.

ok sounds good cant wait! keep up the good (hard) work guys i can only imagine what kind of time and effort you put into your videos =)!

its amazing what people created over time. just a simple battery is a miracle IMO!

Finally I know how battery works. Thanks!

I was wondering how batteries work. Thanks! :D

Hi thanks for the video, it was very informative! Could I request an explanation of the theory of jumpstarting cars or bikes battery and why batteries get to a certain discharge that your unable to jumpstart?

you look just like the main character...love your videos btw! hope to see more soon!

I would love to see a video you make on using peltier chips, both in cooling/heating and as a potential power source as they give off electrons via temperature differences. They are really marvels of simple but useful technology.

If not inefficient

T. Roadster is not a common EV, and use a very expensive battery. Common Li batteries become very dangerous when combined in a lot of cells.I don't say that there aren't prototypes of all sorts, and you have a point here.I saw 2 years ago, that a very common hybrid car type , the one you can afford, uses 2 lead batteries: one for starter, and one for storage (deep cell type). The guy explained to me that the "lead solution" is the cheapest and most reliable. Nice conversation, sir .

That makes me sad, but I understand. Please continue to make awesome videos!

Thank you for this.

Wow!! Very educational! Thanks!

you're awesome and I love your voice!
