This battery reconditioning program exceeded my presumptions. It worked on any drill battery, several AA and AAA batteries batery.repair and any camera battery. The steps are simple and the act itself is exciting to do. No matter what type of battery you`ve got, it is sure to function again!

Thank you for the clear instructions. We returned from the beach 2 months ago and I left my golf cart inside the toy hauler. I found the batteries completely dead and my charger would not start, which is why I came to your video. Going now to use my 12 V charger following your instruction. Thank you so much.

Great production! I mean the way you put this video together. Really impressive with the illustration outlines inserted. I don't need to look further. Outstanding!

Thank you. Exactly what I needed. Six 8-volts for thirty minutes each. Now I understand why my sensing circuit on the charger wouldn’t allow the charge.

@@philipchesleyiii Going to depend on how low they are, I've brought some 8v banks back that were extremely low charging each one individually on a 6v 10 amp charger for 24 hours. Then putting them in 2 seperate banks of 3 in series, 24v per bank, and charging each bank with a 24v 15 amp charger that has a good lead acid charging profile. If they are starting out at 5.5 volts or higher per battery you can skip the 6 volt charge and just use a 24v charger.

​​​@@Reloadeez I just did them in sets of 2. I charged the first set for an hour and 45 minutes, at 10 amps. Then charged the other two sets for 45 minutes each at 10 amps. I also had to refill the batteries cuz they were kind of low. Worked out. They were all still connected, I just moved the cables from post to post.

I will have to try this soon, as we have had 6 years of service with our golf cart here in the Phoenix area using the same set of batteries. Nobody believes we've gotten six seasons out of them, but somehow we have. If our batteries stop working when the heat comes back on in May/June, I will try your method for sure. My only complaint about the video has nothing to do with the information given, just the overly loud background music that is absolutely not necessary. Other than that brilliant, well done!

Thank you so much! My golf cart was beyond dead and you helped us to revive it! Amazing video, super helpful.

Did it last a good while?

I brought back a bank of 8v club car batteries that I thought had zero chance of coming back from the dead doing something similar. They had been sitting for 3 years, had less than 1v per battery on the multimeter, and extremely low electrolyte levels. I added water to around the 60 percent full level and put each one individually on a 6v charger overnight, took 6 days. I then added water to around 75 percent level, and put 2 separate banks of 3 in series on a 24v smart charger with a good internal lead acid charging profile overnight. Topped off the water and did a 24v desulfation mode overnight for each bank. 48V bank read 51 volts on meter when done and each battery was within 0.10v of each other. Have been running on the bank for 2 years with no issues.

This video provided the practical solution I needed to get my Bad Boy MTV charging again. Thank you!

There are several factors in battery repairing. One resource I discovered that succeeds in merging these is the Magic Mender Wizard (google it if you're interested) definately the no.1 course that I've heard of. look at this incredible resource.

After I charged my batteries, days later I noticed the batteries still make a gurgling noise after not being on charge for days, is that normal or is there something wrong with the batteries?

When you revive old batteries in a battery bank such as with a desulfator, how much time does that typically buy you before you have to do it again? Thanks.

Can I have head lights, turn signals and horn with weak or dead batteries

So there is no need to disconnect the other batteries while you charge the 2?

Many smart chargers need to sense a voltage so that they know they are hooked to a battery and then they start the charging cycle. If you have a battery that has a voltage so low that the charger can't detect it, first off that's very bad for the battery and will shorten its life. But past that, if you want to try and squeeze some more life out it, you need a dumb charger to charge it up enough so that the smart charger can tell there's a battery there. Kind of goofy but that's what you do. When you use a dumb charger be careful not to overcharge your battery. With smart chargers you don't have to worry about that.

Thanks! I'll give it a shot!

Can you use two 8v chargers at once??

here's a few ideas for getting a good result do not attempt to do this until you know what you are doing - the acid can burn your skin Test the voltage first - there may be a kaput cell which would waste your time. Check the battery fluid. attempt to fully charge the battery. (I learned about these and more from Jons mender guide site )

1 hr lol if the voltage is low eg 1 or 2 volts, to charge each set takes 10+ hrs with 4 amp, so to get the 6x8v or 8x6v batteries up above 37v as needed this can take a few days. (48v)

@kevysrandomstuff5835

2 жыл бұрын

8x6v unless you make up a wiring set to charge 2x6 with a car = 12v then 6x leads to jump the other 3 sets, with each set only in pairs of 2 then you could charge them within an hr for the controller to take over (+37v)

Many thanks..You are awesome😎👍

Push your golf cart next to a car with a good battery. Connect jumper cables from the car battery to the golf cart batteries (make sure you connect to the battery ends that are not connected to other batteries the cables usually run towards the rear of the cart and positive and negative are on the correct posts) then turn on your golf cart charger it should now turn on then disconnect the jumper cables and continue to charge your cart as normal.

Charge two batteries at a time as shown in this video. Start with 2amps, then go to 10amps as the batteries pick up a charge after about 2 to 3 hours or longer. By that time, your batteries should be charged enough so that your cart charger kicks in. If not, you may have dead cells in some or all of your batteries, which means you might want to recondition them as explained in many KZread videos by using a method you prefer, usually by removing the acid in all the batteries and replacing the acid with acid or similar material bought at an auto parts store. WEAR PROTECTIVE GEAR or you might get seriously hurt.

I know this is not what you're going to want to hear but, No that will not work for long. Something will burn up. If the cart is equipped with a controller, you can upgrade the entire electrical system to 48 volts and alleviate all you climbing issue or trade it in on a 48 volt golf cart. You will never be happy doing any climbing with 36 volts.
