I enjoy your videos about battery maintenance and learn from them, thank you. Would you please do a detail video “Done Right,” showing how to add distilled water to a battery, and how to connect and re-charge a battery? Thank you.

Any reason you didn't backflush the heater core and get that funk out of the system? Remove the thermostat so you don't have to wait for it to open up??

Good video.

Thanks for the excellent video, i don’t feel patronized at all😂

W-D 40 work well too!

Everything he said,,,,,,, BUT,,,, connect the terminals first and then put the dielectric grease on. Dielectric grease is an insulator.

i'm confused. dielectric grease is an insulator.

I tried the dielectric grease on cleaned terminals, and I use a blade type post cleaner which leaves a smooth, like new finish, not all scratched up. After assembling it, the battery wasn’t able to start the car, and there’s no solvent I know of to remove the silicone grease, other than just aggressively wiping it with rags. Once recleaned, everything worked fine. I would consider applying it to the top of the terminal after connecting it, but I think fluid film or some other product might be better and cleaner .

Great video, and the rock intro is a nice touch. Thank you.

Great show brilliant thank you so much 😊

Baking soda neutralizes acid well and is harmless and cheap. Also, spraying the terminals instead of gooping them up is cleaner, more efficient, and does not interfere with intended conduction paths.

I appreciate your video. But I thought I saw some red! Lol.

Do not put greese on the contacts, only on the bottom to insulate. If not, corrrent will not flow correctly.

Can miller use Nuttall?

Lead is toxic If the outer surfaces of the battery terminals are really made of lead, using a wire brish to sand off the surfsce corrosion would seem to create many tiny lead particles. A solution for manufacturers might be to coat the terminals in something that conducts well, does not corrode, and does not contain lead

have anyone done this before?

always take the fan out first

Awsum !!

Standard ignition battery terminal protectors BPP74

Well, thank you for doing it right Greeno.

That was a very helpful video. Just installed mine.thank you

How about water and Baking soda.

I need you to come do mine😊😊 You did that so perfect 🏆🏆

I had a motorbike battery showing signs of failing so I ordered a new one from my friend's bike shop . I had noticed the main lights being a bit dimmer and had topped up the cells , cleaned the earth points and battery posts . Anyway my friend asked if I wanted to install the new battery when I arrived at his shop as his guys were a bit busy . No problem I said and borrowed a couple of tools . When I lifted the battery acid poured from the bottom of its casing ! A lead plate had come free inside and worn a groove through the casing ! Under the casing was a closed cell rubber mat and that had saved most of the acid from leaking . Whoops .

I would have rather seen you clean the first one. Cleaning a clean one is pretty easy

Is it OK to submerge the terminals into a cup full of baking soda and water solution to neutralize any acid?

Just buy marine grade corrosion inhibitor and leave the grease to applications it belongs. NEVER use vasoline !... as it can catch fire easily, especially in an accident if your positive post is arcing, you don't want a flammable jelly (that will burn a long time) going while you or others are in need of help. Don't put anything on the mating surfaces of electrical connections, this will raise resistance and is more terrible advice. A small can of marine grade corrosion inhibitor will last a decades for one car and should only be used after the connections are tight. If you're in a pinch, aerosol hair spray will work too... heck, toothpaste would work better than vasoline.

I found this very helpful and have purchased the supplies to clean up my wife's car today. Just curious though, why do I only rinse things off with distilled water? I know you only use distilled water to top off the old style batteries but wonder why it's used to clean them up as well.

Nice job. Thanks for all the details.

Hey does the ncp2 affect if you have to attach a battery charger/maintainer? Ty

2 weeks later, the battery died

Well done, sir

Does the baking soda method of cleaning have any issues compared to a spray cleaner? Have a new battery but the terminals will be cleaned as they still have some acid on them.

Thank you bro! I had problems with my Harley electrical switches on my handlebars for years, hope this will stop it from recurring.

I was looking this up because my battery keeps dying over night. Im trying to figure out what to do about it. I want to properly clean the connectors because the positive was very corrosive on mine. I was thinking of looking for the fuse to the auto door locks and pull that, see if itll help because my door locks at random times.

Finally someone teaching me how to take care of my car the right way. I dont trust mechanics, Ive had my share of HORRIBLE mechanics. I just do what I can myself. Thank you for this. New subscriber.

What was wrong with the old one , was it leaking alot? I see crystals on the right side where the plastic tank meets the metal fins

@7:06 what is the name of the tool you're using?

Idiot hurry up

Really grateful. Very well shown. Thank you!!

You show how to remove the light from the part that holds it . Yet ,you do Not show how to open those tabs while the wires are still connected to the car . Hummm. What's up with that ?

i USE vaseline on the outside of the connection. My last battery lasted a little over 6 yrs. Before using the vaseline it/same brand of battery would only last about 3 YRS. I'll keep using the vaseline.

By far the best video on this topic. I read the manual for Honda. They recommend putting baking soda on the corrosion and adding a little bit of water to dampen it. Let it sit for a while until color changes and then cleaning it off. I will be using your method combined with Honda instructions.

my brakes are close to the rotor so i need to do something

Great video Thanks!!!

I like the attention given to PPE and NEVER POSITIVE FIRST when disconnecting terminals . Perfect time to do some preventative maintenance on battery .Amazing how many fail around Halloween when nights get cooler .

hello sir any advice how to clean car body damaged from baterry acid? I tryed backing soda ,metal cleaner products the rost does not want to go away at this stage even my transmision has some white staff on it. I was a fole added acid baterry it was to much I ques there was not much air space in the baterry so my terminals got leaky now I have problem how to deal with that staff?

Great info! Thanks for putting this together. What would cause a solar gel deep cycle battery to leak or have calcification/ sulfation on the positive terminal?

This happens because the seal around the post is leaking. I always put a bead of silicone around the post where it meets the case best if done when new.

Any chance u could list all the products-this is preferred service. Great job
