- My car battery is on it's last leg. The last time I started it, she BARELY turned over. That's when I decided to try out the repair function in the Hasito 20A Battery Charger. I first thought it would only take a couple hours to repair... Not quite.

I bought one of these chargers used (no manuals) to "repair" my boat battery. Your video was a major research time saver. Thanks for the help!
Glad it helped! Thanks for the comment.
Well, that was pretty cool. The repair function seemed to give you a little longer battery life. I do believe a new battery in order. Love the creaky door. 😃
That door creaks no matter how much grease I put on it!! haha! Definitely getting a new battery soon.
thanks man. very helpful
No problem! Thanks for the comment.
Two things... 1. Normally one should connect the battery repair unit to the battery first before powering it up... "normally" and this may not matter in this case. 2. The longer you wait to replace a known bad battery like that the higher the chances of your alternator will get damaged. It is working harder than needed and sometimes more than it is designed to do. Also, I would do the same exact test with the other vehicle and see too. I have professional battery chargers ... expensive but I used in the repair business for quite sometime.
Thanks for the information. I'm planning on replacing the battery very soon. I really just wanted to see if the health of the battery would increase at all. Would the battery repair function hurt a battery that really doesn't need it?
Cool test. With the small but measurable improvement, I'm curious if multiple repair sessions would continue to improve the health of the battery. Or would you hit diminishing returns immediately?
That would be a good test, but I think I'll wait until I get a replacement! Thanks for the comment.
Most of what I’ve been finding online is that it can sometimes take 2-3 or even upto 5 if these repair cycles with each one improve on the next. I can’t say for sure but makes sense to me. Im doing my first cycle now but I don’t have a tester to know how it’s doing. I’m just gonna do it twice and hope for the best.
I started doing my car battery every week. It would start better, but seem to wear out just as fast so I still had to charge it as well. Good luck and thanks for the comment.
That was a weird comment . Interesting video there. Like you said it saved you for a few weeks
I've never used the repair function before and I figured I would record my findings. I've heard other people using it and they hear bubbling coming from the battery or it just kills it.
I also understand that my videos are not for everyone. I'm just to trying to learn and experiment with what I have.
Thanks for the comment!
Like anyone that became educated in electronic engineering I choose to follow others to grow in the field. I subscribed to help you but I'm leaving to help me not become a hater. Good luck honestly.
I appreciate your opinion and thank you for your honesty. Take care.
@@OffGridBasement Can't please everyone :)

Murder Begins in the Heart
21 “You have heard that it was said to those [a]of old, ‘You shall not murder, and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.’ 22 But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother [b]without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, ‘Raca!’[c] shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says, [d]‘You fool!’ shall be in danger of [e]hell fire.
Repent, apologize and learn to love your neighbor. Godly sorrow leads to repentance and salvation not to be regretted, worldly sorrow, hate, murder, thinking you are better than your neighbor leads to death.
@OffGridBasesement made a video, and treated you nicely even after you showed your true colors. With your knowledge we would have been happy to hear and learn anything you had to say but instead you hate in your heart.You had no intention of helping anyone but your ego.
Jesus said Love thy neighbor as thyself. Rebuke thy neighbor and don't share in their sin.
Parents correct their children to show they love and care for them
God corrects his children to show He cares for His children and His creation. Repent and you owe @OffGridBasement and apology.
I wonder if multiple repair sessions would get the battery in even better shape. The repair mode and that higher 15+ volts you seen is boiling the lead plates in the battery in pulses to remove sulfation I think. if you could get it back to 50% health that could last another year or so.
I'm thinking about doing another round of repair tonight since I'm still using the same car battery!
@@OffGridBasement Awesome. Would be good to see if anymore improvements come from another round!
@@OffGridBasement any updates on the second repair? Did it help?
@@lookitzdan1lo I ended up repairing the battery once a week for about 5 weeks. It peaked at repair #3 and didn't get any better afterwards. Repairing the battery isn't a long term solution.
is it a repair that does all the different batteries???... same way to repair them?
No. This repair is ONLY for Lead acid batteries. Don't use it on Lithium ion or Lifepo4 batteries.
I'm not poking fun at you or anyone else but this is hilarious. 😄 I'm ASE and MMI certified and for anyone to think that a battery can be "repaired" with ANY method of charging is fantasy at best. The only physical service you can do is adding distilled water to a flooded lead acid battery (never add acid), or with some chemistry batteries cycle them with a slow discharge and trickle charge. Other than that if a battery is bad, it's bad.
Thanks for the info. I found that out the hard way. It was a VERY temporary fix at best. Thanks for the comment.
I think that an analog voltmeter would have given you a better reading of the pulse process. The analog reacts quicker than digital.
Good point. I should look into getting on. Thanks for the comment and info.
Next use the charge function to top it off. Would it improve the battery?
After this video I repaired and charged that car battery about 5 more times for the next 3 weeks. It never got too much better so I had to end up replacing it. Thanks for the comment.
I noticed your battery is agm, the unit is designed for flooded led acid, it increases the voltage for an extended period of time in order to desulfite the sulfar that gets built up on the led plates over time @@OffGridBasement
Not sure your battery was an AGM in your car ... ?
It is just a standard aftermarket car battery. I figured it would work. Thanks for the comment.
What's the purpose of fuse?
I'm not sure what fuse you are referring to in the video.
How's it holding up?
Not good. Definitely not a permanent solution.
Эти зарядки HTRC при их хорошей внутренней компоновке выходят за пределы напряжения для свинцово-кислотного аккумулятора и у них не работает режим восстановления.
Я купил более дешевую зарядку Foxsur 12v, 12 A и у неё хорошо работает режим восстановления.
Напряжение не превышает 14,4 V и в режиме восстановления можно увидеть на тестере пульсации от 13v до 14,3v и наоборот.
So you're saying they're no good for lead acid batteries? Interesting. Thanks for the comment.
В режиме восстановления - да.
И немного выходят за пределы 14,4 v.
Но хороша эта модель HTRC тем, что можно регулировать силу тока.
На моём зарядном устройстве с напряжением всё хорошо, но сила тока в режиме зарядки автомобильного аккумулятора подымается почти до 12 Ампер, а это плохо для 50 амперного аккумулятора.
А в режиме зарядки аккумулятора для мотоцикла - не подымается выше 1,5 Ампера, то есть маленькая сила тока и долго ждать полной зарядки.
I thought this charger was for lithium batteries
It can charge multiple types of batteries. SLA, li ion and Lifepo4 just to name a few. Repair mode is only for sealed lead acid batteries. Hope this helps.
This is a I don't get paid tell Friday to buy a new battery only a real short term fix if you're lucky
You're right. This is a "maybe I can get enough juice to make it to the automotive shop and back. Definitely don't rely on it to fix your battery. Thanks for the comment.
