hey what’s up guys I’m hangout today with my brother he came from Texas
with my brother he came from Texas
with my brother he came from Texas because we’re doing an experiment with
because we’re doing an experiment with
because we’re doing an experiment with car batteries and he used to work with
car batteries and he used to work with
car batteries and he used to work with car batteries I did he used to sell them
car batteries I did he used to sell them
car batteries I did he used to sell them but we’re not selling them today we’re
but we’re not selling them today we’re
but we’re not selling them today we’re actually gonna be hacking them open I
actually gonna be hacking them open I
actually gonna be hacking them open I got a new car we thought what a better
got a new car we thought what a better
got a new car we thought what a better way to celebrate than to rip the battery
way to celebrate than to rip the battery
way to celebrate than to rip the battery out crack it open and show you what’s
out crack it open and show you what’s
out crack it open and show you what’s inside so let’s get right to it
inside so let’s get right to it
inside so let’s get right to it now think about lexus is they have
now think about lexus is they have
now think about lexus is they have decorative shrouds that cover a lot of
decorative shrouds that cover a lot of
decorative shrouds that cover a lot of the engine components which makes it
the engine components which makes it
the engine components which makes it look really nice but makes it kind of
look really nice but makes it kind of
look really nice but makes it kind of difficult to get down into the
difficult to get down into the
difficult to get down into the components themselves so we’ve got to
components themselves so we’ve got to
components themselves so we’ve got to pop off all these plastic rivets in
pop off all these plastic rivets in
pop off all these plastic rivets in order to be able to access the battery
order to be able to access the battery
order to be able to access the battery compartment and that’s just a matter of
compartment and that’s just a matter of
compartment and that’s just a matter of taking off a few screws and pulling the
taking off a few screws and pulling the
taking off a few screws and pulling the battery right up and out all right we’re
battery right up and out all right we’re
battery right up and out all right we’re going to take the negative terminal and
going to take the negative terminal and
going to take the negative terminal and off first
off first
off first once the negative is disconnected the
once the negative is disconnected the
once the negative is disconnected the electrical system should be protected
electrical system should be protected
electrical system should be protected and we’ll go to the positive next so
and we’ll go to the positive next so
and we’ll go to the positive next so update guys we disconnected the positive
update guys we disconnected the positive
update guys we disconnected the positive negative terminals we release the j-hook
negative terminals we release the j-hook
negative terminals we release the j-hook and bracket that holds the battery down
and bracket that holds the battery down
and bracket that holds the battery down in the car it should be ready to just
in the car it should be ready to just
in the car it should be ready to just pull out sure so we’re gonna just keep
pull out sure so we’re gonna just keep
pull out sure so we’re gonna just keep this thing out and show it looks like
this thing out and show it looks like
this thing out and show it looks like I’ll get this one since your gloves are
I’ll get this one since your gloves are
I’ll get this one since your gloves are like straighten yeah they’re gone all
like straighten yeah they’re gone all
like straighten yeah they’re gone all right dude this thing’s really heavy
right dude this thing’s really heavy
right dude this thing’s really heavy these batteries are like 40 to 50 pounds
these batteries are like 40 to 50 pounds
these batteries are like 40 to 50 pounds a super super heavy and you can see
a super super heavy and you can see
a super super heavy and you can see there’s a liquid in here if you shake it
there’s a liquid in here if you shake it
there’s a liquid in here if you shake it it’ll slosh around you can actually even
it’ll slosh around you can actually even
it’ll slosh around you can actually even see the liquid moving this is called a
see the liquid moving this is called a
see the liquid moving this is called a wet cell battery there are types of
wet cell battery there are types of
wet cell battery there are types of batteries that are called non-spill Abul
batteries that are called non-spill Abul
batteries that are called non-spill Abul and they have an absorbent glass mat on
and they have an absorbent glass mat on
and they have an absorbent glass mat on the inside that will soak up the
the inside that will soak up the
the inside that will soak up the sulfuric acid and keep it from spilling
sulfuric acid and keep it from spilling
sulfuric acid and keep it from spilling out but what we’re after is actually
out but what we’re after is actually
out but what we’re after is actually this stuff this is a mixture of about 25
this stuff this is a mixture of about 25
this stuff this is a mixture of about 25 to 30 percent sulfuric acid and the rest
to 30 percent sulfuric acid and the rest
to 30 percent sulfuric acid and the rest is water and we’re after that sulfuric
is water and we’re after that sulfuric
is water and we’re after that sulfuric acid and the lead plates inside so let’s
acid and the lead plates inside so let’s
acid and the lead plates inside so let’s go crack this thing open and make that a
go crack this thing open and make that a
go crack this thing open and make that a reality alright guys so we’re in the
reality alright guys so we’re in the
reality alright guys so we’re in the workshop and we’re ready to crack this
workshop and we’re ready to crack this
workshop and we’re ready to crack this thing open what’s the best way to open
thing open what’s the best way to open
thing open what’s the best way to open the lead acid battery probably two not
the lead acid battery probably two not
the lead acid battery probably two not two but we’re gonna do it anyway get a
two but we’re gonna do it anyway get a
two but we’re gonna do it anyway get a big bucket of baking soda water is
big bucket of baking soda water is
big bucket of baking soda water is really important because it is a basic
really important because it is a basic
really important because it is a basic solution and since we’re dealing with
solution and since we’re dealing with
solution and since we’re dealing with acids if anything goes wrong we’ll have
acids if anything goes wrong we’ll have
acids if anything goes wrong we’ll have a place where we can neutralize that
a place where we can neutralize that
a place where we can neutralize that acid very
acid very
acid very like it’s good to have this setup
like it’s good to have this setup
like it’s good to have this setup extending back if you were to open these
extending back if you were to open these
extending back if you were to open these ports and tip it over it would spill out
ports and tip it over it would spill out
ports and tip it over it would spill out this is a spill opal battery it’s not
this is a spill opal battery it’s not
this is a spill opal battery it’s not recommended to take these vents off but
recommended to take these vents off but
recommended to take these vents off but you can see if we do it opens a little
you can see if we do it opens a little
you can see if we do it opens a little port here where you can add more water
port here where you can add more water
port here where you can add more water you want to use distilled water to top
you want to use distilled water to top
you want to use distilled water to top off your battery you don’t want to add
off your battery you don’t want to add
off your battery you don’t want to add more acid that’s correct
more acid that’s correct
more acid that’s correct all right it looks like things are
all right it looks like things are
all right it looks like things are getting pretty serious do this sit down
getting pretty serious do this sit down
getting pretty serious do this sit down to business because these have acid on
to business because these have acid on
to business because these have acid on them if they drop them in the solution
them if they drop them in the solution
them if they drop them in the solution of baking soda we should see it fizz a
of baking soda we should see it fizz a
of baking soda we should see it fizz a little bit and that’s an indication that
little bit and that’s an indication that
little bit and that’s an indication that I actually have battery acid on my
I actually have battery acid on my
I actually have battery acid on my gloves now as well good stuff
gloves now as well good stuff
gloves now as well good stuff check it out guys we got the six ports
check it out guys we got the six ports
check it out guys we got the six ports taken off the top and you can already
taken off the top and you can already
taken off the top and you can already see the battery acid in there so
see the battery acid in there so
see the battery acid in there so actually the safest way at this point
actually the safest way at this point
actually the safest way at this point probably just be take it over to a
probably just be take it over to a
probably just be take it over to a container turn it over and safely get
container turn it over and safely get
container turn it over and safely get the acid out of there without having to
the acid out of there without having to
the acid out of there without having to cracked anything because we’re working
cracked anything because we’re working
cracked anything because we’re working with sulfuric acid the kind of container
with sulfuric acid the kind of container
with sulfuric acid the kind of container we want to be using is glass here we go
we want to be using is glass here we go
we want to be using is glass here we go [Music]

anywhere anytime soon yeah if you feel
anywhere anytime soon yeah if you feel your skin start itching – this time slap
your skin start itching – this time slap
your skin start itching – this time slap some baking soda solution on it if it
some baking soda solution on it if it
some baking soda solution on it if it gets on your clothes it’ll bleach for
gets on your clothes it’ll bleach for
gets on your clothes it’ll bleach for the color out of them that’s good enough
the color out of them that’s good enough
the color out of them that’s good enough for now if I’m not mistaken this is
for now if I’m not mistaken this is
for now if I’m not mistaken this is about 70% water and there’s really easy
about 70% water and there’s really easy
about 70% water and there’s really easy way to concentrate the acid and that’s
way to concentrate the acid and that’s
way to concentrate the acid and that’s simply by boiling water off but you got
simply by boiling water off but you got
simply by boiling water off but you got to make sure using the right kind of
to make sure using the right kind of
to make sure using the right kind of container when you do that or to explode
container when you do that or to explode
container when you do that or to explode so we don’t know if this is plastic
so we don’t know if this is plastic
so we don’t know if this is plastic welded together if it’s glued or what it
welded together if it’s glued or what it
welded together if it’s glued or what it is we’re gonna use some tools and try
is we’re gonna use some tools and try
is we’re gonna use some tools and try and pry it up gently to see what
and pry it up gently to see what
and pry it up gently to see what gently remove that container if not
gently remove that container if not
gently remove that container if not we’ll bring out the big guns I feel like
we’ll bring out the big guns I feel like
we’ll bring out the big guns I feel like this could work you got to be careful
this could work you got to be careful
this could work you got to be careful when you’re pulling this up because if
when you’re pulling this up because if
when you’re pulling this up because if it snaps it gets spit acid back in your
it snaps it gets spit acid back in your
it snaps it gets spit acid back in your face so probably good time to put your
face so probably good time to put your
face so probably good time to put your safety glasses on it seems to be working
safety glasses on it seems to be working
safety glasses on it seems to be working pretty well my thumb’s like full on so
pretty well my thumb’s like full on so
pretty well my thumb’s like full on so yeah I’ll be right back I’m gonna go put
yeah I’ll be right back I’m gonna go put
yeah I’ll be right back I’m gonna go put on a new glove all right we got the seal
on a new glove all right we got the seal
on a new glove all right we got the seal broken
broken
broken I think this lid is actually attached to
I think this lid is actually attached to
I think this lid is actually attached to the leg plates right now so if we can
the leg plates right now so if we can
the leg plates right now so if we can find a way to pull those up and out or
find a way to pull those up and out or
find a way to pull those up and out or disconnect them we should be in business
disconnect them we should be in business
disconnect them we should be in business [Music]

[Music] success so this is what the inside of a
success so this is what the inside of a
success so this is what the inside of a car battery looks like guys you can see
car battery looks like guys you can see
car battery looks like guys you can see how there are lead plates divided into
how there are lead plates divided into
how there are lead plates divided into six different cells each one of these
six different cells each one of these
six different cells each one of these cells generates two volts and by linking
cells generates two volts and by linking
cells generates two volts and by linking them all in series we get a 12-volt
them all in series we get a 12-volt
them all in series we get a 12-volt battery I think what we’re going to do
battery I think what we’re going to do
battery I think what we’re going to do now is pour out the rest of this acid
now is pour out the rest of this acid
now is pour out the rest of this acid and then we’re going to extract these
and then we’re going to extract these
and then we’re going to extract these lead plates soak them in a solution of
lead plates soak them in a solution of
lead plates soak them in a solution of baking soda water to neutralize the acid
baking soda water to neutralize the acid
baking soda water to neutralize the acid and they’ll take a look at what kind of

be with us today hopefully you guys
be with us today hopefully you guys learn something new now you know what’s
learn something new now you know what’s
learn something new now you know what’s inside your car battery so we’re going
inside your car battery so we’re going
inside your car battery so we’re going to come back to you with a new video
to come back to you with a new video
to come back to you with a new video showing you what you do with lead and
showing you what you do with lead and
showing you what you do with lead and sulfuric acid from a car battery it’s a
sulfuric acid from a car battery it’s a
