  I would’ve love to see you do a comparison of fuses. From Chinese 10 cents/fuse from the gas station to all the way to Bussman fuses. The amperage they can handle compared to their rating on an average of 3 fuses. Fitment and ease of pulling from a socket and a few more ideas!

  I was really surprised how the DC welder was able to repair a battery. &nbsp;I am wondering how long the fix will last and hoping you will make a follow-up video when the batteries start to fail again.

  If only politicians were this thorough with their information.

  I don&apos;t understand why people are doing it wrong with the Epsom salt. <br><br>1. Empty acid. Don&apos;t throw away, as it can be reused.<br>2. Fill with salt mixture.<br>3. Run the 5x high voltage cycles. <br>4. Empty salt mixture, and flush with tap water until clear, and one last flush with distilled water to flush tap.<br>5. Refill with acid. Making sure its where it should be with bulb tester.<br>6. Recharge battery. <br><br>If you want to use the welder to charge, it&apos;s much more recommended. Also the salt mixture &quot;is only&quot; for breaking down the lead sulfate from the lead plates.<br><br>If the acid is black from the lead, when you dump it out, allow it to sit, and the heavier lead particals will drop to the bottom. <br>Try not to dump the dark stuff back into the battery. <br><br>The lead sulfate floating, causes resistance, which is why you can have a battery, which shows full charge, but has low cranking amps. <br><br>You must clean the plates, and get rid of the sulfates. Otherwise your defeating the purpose. <br><br>And the reason why the welder charging works so well, is because it cleans the lead plates, and you allowed the particulates to precipitate out and to the bottom. <br>But you defeat the purpose, by leaving it in, because it will get stirred up when driving around, or just moving it around. <br><br>This would be acceptable, for say, deep cycle batteries in a stationary place, where the lead sulfate isn&apos;t getting mixed up in the acid.<br><br>Please try again. But use my proven method. <br>There is another Youtuber that used my method, and was able to successfully renew every single battery he has had brought in to him.<br><br>I have brought back VERY DEAD batteries to life, with my method. <br>Please make a video using my method. So many Youtubers have done it wrong, that its difficult to find the only one, that I found, who did it right.<br><br>FYI. You cannot replace battery acid with Epsom salt mixture, and expect it to hold a charge. As there is a reason, why every single battery company uses battery acid, and acid gel.<br><br>The problem with the gel, is that you can&apos;t fix it like you can with a liquid acid and distilled water mixture. <br><br>It really is very simple everyone. Basic chemistry. <br>Try making your own battery, and you&apos;ll understand why I use my method.

  PPE is definitely important when working with batteries.<br>Early this spring, I popped the cap off a car battery and managed to splash a drop of acid in my eye.<br>I ran to the hose to begin flushing, and the ice cold water felt wonderful. What didn&apos;t feel wonderful was when the ice inside the hose broke loose and blasted me right in the eye!<br>Fortunately, no long-term damage was done.

  For those interested, when the hydrometer takes a fluid sample right after the welder, you can see the loose sulfates causing the fluid to be brown. Over time through normal use those sulfates settle to the bottom and build up. &nbsp;There is empty space in the bottom of the battery for all of the accumulated material that is no longer participating in the chemical reactions. &nbsp;Deep cycle batteries have more empty space in the bottom. &nbsp;When enough piles up it can touch the plates and short them out causing that cell to stop working.

  I tried the epsom salts fix in a non-scientific test. It did work but two months later it would not hold a charge. One of the most important tests is the test of time!

  Just a word to the wise. Batteries can and do explode. I knew someone who lost an eye because of this happening. &nbsp;ALWAYS wear eye protection (preferably glasses &nbsp;AND full face mask), gloves, and long sleeves. Have water nearby.
