So you had to jumpstart your car or truck's battery, but then it died again soon after. Or maybe your vehicle stalls out right after taking the jumper cables off? Both of these situations are signs that your battery is damaged beyond repair, or has reached its end of life. Sue shows you some easy ways you can diagnose the battery in your car or truck, so that you know if it needs to be replaced. She also offers some tips for maintaining your healthy battery, and how to avoid doing more harm than good when you do clean, maintain, or protect your battery.

Lady,you've done more than most videos here on CZcams! Thank you for giving me a better more thorough understanding of battery issues. Keep it up!
...really, does not use a battery tester that induces a load? Talks about CCA in terms of "High Charge Voltage" which is completely confusing - CCA is the amperage that is available for initial 30 seconds to help turn over a cold hard to turn (high starter motor torque needed) engine. AKA more initial power (Power watts = volts x amps). Does not talk about adjusting the acid. Is wearing her prescription glasses and not safety glasses, and dumbs down about everything... so not
I really like how she explains everything in detail.
I actually learned a couple things about batteries thanks to this video.
Keep them coming 😉👍🏽
The best explanation I found in youtube. Thank you so much!
I really enjoy your videos. I was about to give up on watching videos on you tube for car repairs but I watched yours subscribed and liked them. Thank you!
Thanks I love how u put things understand clearly👌🏾💯
Can I adopt you Sue??? OMG, I love your communication/ teaching style. What a delight to find you!! My new fave mechanic!!!!
Watching this vid...you can get a real charge out of it!!!
That G.T.O., you can roll it, pop the clutch and go!
Thnx Sue, and Happy New Year!
I like how you talk about disposal too. Thanks!
We men can learn a lot from you. Watch so many videos and you had solved my problem. Thank you
...really, does not use a battery tester that induces a load, just a VOM (not conclusive)? Talks about CCA in terms of "High Charge Voltage" which is completely confusing - CCA is the amperage that is available for initial 30 seconds to help turn over a cold hard to turn (high starter motor torque needed) engine. AKA more initial power (Power watts = volts x amps). Does not talk about adjusting the acid. Is wearing her prescription glasses and not safety glasses, and dumbs down about everything... so not
Really great explanation! Thank you!
It might be worth mentioning that in modern cars if you replace the battery you actually have to program the car's computer to tell it if it's a Lead Acid/AGM and what the actual Amp-Hour capacity is. Apparently you need to then "reset" the Charging Controller so it now knows there's a new battery and begin charging at a high rate rather than the low rate of the previous dead battery (i'm guessing they do this to avoid having a massive load on the alternator which robs power from the engine). You'd think if you replace with the same battery tech and same (or better) A-H it would figure out that it can charge at a high rate but somehow the anecdotal info is that it doesn't although i'm sure the dealer would love your patronage for changing a battery...
Solid information well presented
A lot of great information in this one…
Very informative
Hear in Arizona, it don’t really matter to much if you buy the most expensive or a cheaper one. The heat in the summer kills them equally. Two to three years and it’s toast!
This was awesome! Thank you 😊
Thanks. You are nice person. Have nice day thank you so much. For the video🙏🏾👍👍👍👍
Awesome thanks.
Excellent
Great video Sue! Also, dont overfill batteries. Leave level a little UNDER (eye) or rim of cell to allow expansion of electrolyte.
Hey Sue, take a battery that HAS voltage, wet on top frm acid. Take ur tester, put positive on positive post, negative on THE WET CASE of battery, read meter.😲 Yes, dirty batteries draw voltage/ discharge quicker. 😁
Wow, Who woulda thunk it! Micro amperage parasitic leakage between the terminal posts and possibly to body ground! Outstanding!
Sometimes, too much technology, is too much technology…case in point!! Great information. Like that 60’s car…back when cars were for their intended purpose…transportation, not entertainment.
Amen brother!!!!!! Spot on!! What b.s. it all has become. The planned systematic death/removal of the backyard mechanic🥴.
Informative video
+My car mechanic Thanks for the feedback!
good advice thanks
Sue, well stated!!👍
Please consider talking about the new battery chargers with recondition and desulfation features.
I got about a new out of my big jumpstart. Then, I got the smaller one and keep it in my vehicle. Had good luck with it so far.
What about the effect of the temperature on the voltage of the battery? If I test a battery voltage with a multi-meter when its really cold, how do I know if its still good?
I was watching this amazing video and at the end i started to laugh out loud. Literally. I loved the part. 20$ is 20 bucks. Might get u some gas. Lol love it. Tthumbs up x100.
Thanks for the informative video. All battery videos these days show the top post batteries. It has been twenty plus years since any of my vehicles have had a top post. You have shown in other videos how to clean the top post batteries. How do you clean the terminals on a side post battery? My van has side post and then another connector for jumping since most times these days you can't get to the battery. Show how to clean and jump side terminal batteries. Do you have to spray the side post with anti corrosive spray like a post battery? HELP!
Physics are like facts, no matter how much you try, you can’t change the result.
Good information, but where can I get a jump pack like that?
Apparently I have very low CCA (50 out of 650) but good voltage.. what would be the main causes for that? .. the battery and alternator are both 2yrs old.. they both were replaced cause they were (so they say) defective and the car would stall.. any thoughts? I'm inclined to put a new battery in but I've got a feeling the same thing might happen ..
Nice info for the new bees
I like cornwell too. Do you guyz use cornwell cause of its low tooth count.
Good 👍 job good Information halpfull video
+Vinod Kumar Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
I like the video. I get it now.
I love watching the repair videos on playback speed x2. It helps my d.i.y knowledge, repetition, and memorization
I've run AGM batteries for about 13 years. Lasts way longer!
Have a question for you. Can a old battery burst or explode? The reason I'm asking is my cousin gave me his father's Camry. It's a 2000 Toyota Camry LE 4 cylinder. There's rust on the battery cradle and on the frame of the Camry where the battery sat. But I checked other places in the engine bay but there wasn't rust anywhere else. This is where the battery acid got onto the battery cradle and onto the frame of the Camry. This is why I'm asking.
I have a problem in my car, sometimes Im not able to turn on my car sometimes when i park it for less than hour. Tested it for parasitic drain its below 0.50ma not that bad. The car has crank but doesnt engage, I need to jump start it with a portable battery and make voltage around 13v to make the car engage, I already tried cleaning the terminals, What do you think the issue?
Even a completely dead cell can be recovered by restoring the chemical balance i.e. add sulphuric acid. in the UK, a licence is required to stock H2S but it isn't illegal to recover sulphuric acid between dead batteries.
A battery may display a full charge. But it will still not crank over if the CCA is 65 percent of the CCA rating in Cold weather. May crank ok in warm weather above 75 percent. Fully charged battery is not a good indicator how good the battery is…..It’s the CCA percentage that battery has left.
If your alternator dies and the battery discharges until the car stops, is that bringing the battery completely to zero? Please explain what is zero in more detail.
With a bad Altenator Your car ignition’s spark strength falls off (too weak to ignite the fuel/air mix) when your battery voltage drops to around 9.6volts (older cars shut down/stop running).
The whole “cold does kill your battery is a lie” I’ve lived in Pennsylvania all my life and in the snow belt. The water in the battery freezes and the car won’t start. Changed hundreds of car batteries in the winter.
I have a 2011 Buick lacrosse some times i put the key in and get nothing put the key again and it turns over it doesn't happen all the time
She rocks” 🤙 0:27
@8:24 “Negative is always first, negative is always last?” Is that a Ricky Bobby quote?
For myself the battery was shortened because of the weather and drop below 10 degrees
I running with honda civic and Subaru videos on 1a auto
I love her 😍 I would love to meet her because she would make a good bestfriend when you’re stuck! She’s smart. I need one them things lol 😂 to jump start my car lol 😂
What happened to load-testing the battery?
Doing anything,so don't become distracted, by other, when you really need too get done and and finished , right I can live a lot less stressed with the conconfusion .
I have a 70 Ah 720 CCA battery in my 1.4L 8v NA engined car. xD
Would buying a brand new battery be a solution?
My car stays on after the jump and runs but if i dont start it its dead
Same
Um seems like alternator issue
“how to ‘Actually ‘ diagnose battery.”thats funny
Why would anybody clean terminals using this procedure, your parts store has a two-part brush where you just slip it over the terminal and spin it or you could purchase one that hooks up to a drill which is fairly cheap and brush both of them in less than 10 seconds and then you flip the tool around and it cleans the actual battery cable terminal. This video seemed very defective to me as it made no sense whether you have a dead battery, once you are jumped the car should stay running because at that point your battery is not being used at all because your alternator is running the vehicle and trying to recharge the battery at the same time. Obviously the vehicle that was disabled by a bad battery needed an alternator also
10$ for battery core at O'riely's
so car did clicks and then died AAA came out and charged. Said battery looked ok It stayed running and I drove it around for a while. Next day I cam down and started it again. Still ok. This morning - completely dead - not even any clicks. AAA guy said it might be a bad connecter to negative terminal. ???? it's an old car - doesn't need computers, etc.
Same problem, battery hold full charge, 12.8v when its running, its putting out about 14.7v . leave it for 2 days, V check, 12.8v go to start it cold snow day -4c and turn over about 2 or 3 time dash light go out, and thats about it. go back 10 mins later weeer, weer and dead again, it a Toyota 4d4 2.2 D.. when it warm 5 maybe 10+ c it starts not too bad, checked from toyota say 74A battery, which is right and its only about 8 months old. anyone give an idea why and whats going on. but other cars around me same weather and , crank over near normal a nd fire up, Durr. ummm. pass
Mine at 0
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
There's no pinman tool in my ☑️
Your videos wont play
There's not many pinman bolt on car if any a tall oh yeah 👍👍👍👍👍 sista
Buy a new battery problem solved
What about SEALED NO MAINTENANCE batteries Ma'am ??? NOT many people have that much time messing with dangerous chemicals !!! I can't believe you don't know most batteries are now sealed units !!
Clean terminals with coke or pepsi, but for God's sake don't drink it.
.. appeal 🇵🇸🙏
My children need food and live in a rented house, please 🇵🇸🇵🇸
