No Crank No Start! Lead-Acid Electron Containment Failure!

1. good video

2. 20:50 The nator test needs to be conducted with the RPM at 1500-2000. In addition you're overloading the nator at 300amps. That nator's full output is only 90amps. 300amps at 10.5volts, I'll say that's a healthy nator.

3. I've actually seen that glove box light thing before.

4. This battery cable repair, an excellent example of a make do with what you got repair!

5. So if I got this correct you're saying I can hook up my hose to my battery if the battery is low to help increase the current of said battery to start my car????? So, where do I attach the hose? To the positive side? hahahahahahahahaha

6. 25:25 i have a jeep just like that one, it has a huge parasititc draw…..something on the ASD circuit is pulling 3.48amps with the key and everything is off, and i CAN'T figure out what is pulling that much from the battery! When i go anywhere i gotta pull my battery cable off so i don't come back to a dead battery, its not the alternator, the nator is working great

7. Cool

8. Comment

9. 45:50 bruh u didnt zizz wheel the metal between the connector and the block. Bad connection bro.

10. I miss my old 2002 F250 with that 7.3L. Sadly a life in Michigan, then Ohio, made it not worth saving when we moved to Florida.

    When we moved, I had a friend bring it and my 1993 MR2 down for me.

    First drive after it arrived, the passenger side, front, caliper froze. We live in BFE and I was close to town and took it to a shop much closer.

    All new brake calipers, pads, rotors, fresh brake fluid flush. NICE!!! Drive it the day after I get it back for an errand. Brakes felt off. Near town again doing a lumber run and we walk out to check it, big puddle by the rear diff, I just asked the tech to confirm it was a rusted brake line that broke as my guess when I saw that. I was right.

    Get it back with all new rear lines, pads, calipers, rotors and all is good in the world again. Finish the delayed lumber run and head home! Park it in the back yard and go grab a beer to start working. Look out at my loved rust piece, the rear of the tank is about 2in above the ground. Tank strap. But those are cheap and you only need to pup the 6 bed bolts and disconnect the tail lights.

    Start to work on it when the straps came in. Hit the bed bolts with an impact and find out that the only thing holding the bed up, or in place, was the spray in bedliner.

11. Good job man. 59:38

12. Betweeen this channel and Matt at Diesel Creek, after watching you guys I feel like I could diagnose and get just about anything running. Lol I can’t but I feel like I can. 😂

13. Great demonstration of power draw ,thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones

14. 6 megaohms lol its probably milliohms what a nut

15. I believe that this crimping tool is not for wires, or / and you cable terminals are too big for this wires. I wouldn't do it that way. I would wirebrush this wires, if I want it to stay, spray Deoxide on them, than press new cable terminals.

16. I love Rainmans videos .. nearly every car's interior looks like it seen better days, to say mildly.

17. That small red wire for the starter button should have an inline fuse close to the battery terminal. when that wire shorts out on something, they are going to wish they had one.

18. It’s funny how people are with their cars. I gotta make sure I have a aftermarket radio and steering wheel cover but a properly working drive side window naaaaaaaa use some tape lol

19. Neutralize the acid and knock back the corrosion with baking soda water. It helps, and it is cheap. Also it isn't a totally stupid hack idea that creates a sugary mess like the idiots pouring Coke on their batteries and cables, I cringe whenever I see someone doing that or suggesting it.

20. Battery clamps look they need a clean

21. Here in the UK the health and safety people state the bench grinder must be totally enclosed at all times with guards fitted ? Go figure the level of crazy we have here

22. I love the repair Ray…

23. Superglue and bicarb of soda will build up that plastic enough to activate the switch…it sets like concrete and can be sanded…just in case you wanted to fix that too 🤣

24. The beginning of video you said waiting on a Duramax engine. Was that your truck

25. Dip ends of the open cable wires into CLR for a while. Corrosion will be gone

26. 40 years ago I found a power drain on a Honda. The fusebox in the dash had a light in it's door! It would get pushed in by a knee or whatever and be on. I removed the bulb, problem solved.

27. Ray, did somebody bring their car all the way from California to Florida? They have you work on it.

28. It's not a low performing electron containment unit. It's a low performing chemically motivated electron potentialness.

29. How many amps is the alternator rated for compared to actual output 10vat 300 amps jeeze your killing it

30. Dammit man I can smell it in ohio 😊

31. Hu 😂

32. I don’t mean to upset you, but that explanation of how a battery works and ages was mostly incorrect. First of all, AGM, gel, and flooded batteries are all types of lead-acid batteries. The electrolyte doesn’t “boil off”; instead, the water breaks down into hydrogen and oxygen during charging.

    Sulfation happens when lead-sulfate crystals form on the surface of the plates. These crystals don’t conduct electricity well, and they also consume the free lead oxide and the sulfur from the sulfuric acid—both of which are necessary for the battery to function properly. Too much attention is paid to that problem. Batteries are not usually replaced due to sulfation.

    It is true that the plates should never be exposed above the electrolyte level. A lead-acid battery will begin to sulfate any time it isn’t fully charged, and the process speeds up the warmer the battery is and the lower its state of charge drops.

    A deep discharge will permanently damage the plates of a starter battery. They start to break down to the point that electricity can no longer flow to the terminals. This is essentially what happens when a battery reaches the end of its service life.

33. That ground wire you put on is worth more than the rest of the vehicle

34. Here in Australia our modern battery chargers have zero voltage startup. Old ones required voltage before they started charging.

35. That thing is in need of some maintenance! That rattle is not confidence inspiring!

36. Ray, that blue batt tester has a carbon pile in it. Do some research on how it works and come back tomorrow and explain it again.

37. Especially if you are wearing a ring. I watched a man burn his skin off on his finger replacing a battery!

38. Hmm! I would have replaced the negative cable. That would have been the right thing to do.

39. Ray, it is milliohms… 1000 mOhm is 1 Ohm…

40. That thing is clapped out.

41. Current would be the flow of water in the hose. Pressure difference causes this flow, so yes, pressure difference is like voltage. The resistance to water flow is more complicated than electricity. The is because water can be in laminar flow, turbulent flow or a transitory flow between the two. In all three the resistance is a function of the flow rate and diameter of the pipe along with some shape functions and roughness functions. But each is a different formula. Electricity is much simpler in this regard using ohms law. V=IR. In water, the resistance is a function of the flow rate making the analogy break down when comparing water to electricity.

42. The owner is not very neat but is penny wise and pound foolish.

43. Sorry, Ray but your understanding of how a lead-acid battery works is not accurate. I suggest you read up on the subject.

44. youtube kids here we go

45. All the battery types you mentioned are lead acid chemistry batteries. AGM and gel cell use lead plates and sulfuric acid just like EFBs. The difference is that the electrolyte is in a high viscosity suspension or fiberglass mat.

46. I learned in automotive school (1970 s) 175 A is a good rule of thumb for 6 cyl. starter draw and about 250 A for a big block.

47. The internal resistance would be in milliOhms, not megaOhms… m is milli, M is maga. 1 milliOhm is 1/1000 of an ohm, a megaOhm is a million ohms
