    I watched this video a bunch to give me confidence to do this to my car. I appreciate this.

  2. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars WILL LYDON says:

    Great videos love the work you show! Also just out of curiosity what is the name of the sprays you used for the battery terminals to take off corrosion and to prevent the rusting

  3. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Doug Loughren says:

    I found this video from the original video. Thanks for this.

  4. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Paul K says:

    What chemicals do you use ?

  5. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars dhldriver says:

    Another fast quick repair

  6. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Don's Junkmail says:

    Well maybe they get back to ny

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Don's Junkmail says:

    That's still nasty,that old acid on that support plate is bad around harness wires connects…maybe some baking diluted…etc.

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars The D says:

    he didn't have to, but he did, what a great service he provides!

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mr Ed says:

    When assisting my real mechanic son with repair jobs, I make him a bit nuts by wire brushing and painting whatever parts I can get my hands on. Usually when it’s the next part he wants to put on. And you know how mechanics get if you slow them down, even when they aren’t on the clock. Pleases me, though.

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars How About says:

    I swear I can smell the corrosion when you use the wire brush! Hope you don't breath it in?

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars WRG says:

    NOCO products are now available at WalMart in the automotive battery department

    The before looks like an alien skull with shades on…lol

    love your vodeos RAAAAY!!!!!!!!

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Murasaki to kuro neko says:

    Just wondering why you clean the outside of the clamp that carries no current but dont disassemble and clean where the cables connect to the clamp

    Here from the A/C vid.

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars TJ Kaczynski says:

    Painting the handle was over the top rainman!👍🇺🇲

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tommy Gröndahl says:

    Is there any modern battery that you can clean without damaging it? When I was young, I had a 66 Mercedes with bakelite batteries that could actually be rinsed out and filled with new acid, and that worked afterward they could even be welded if they cracked during the winter! It needed a lot of energy when it was a diesel without glowing so under minus 30 degrees Celcius the poor starter had to turn about a half-hour but didn't break- that car does I miss very much!

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Johnny Estrada says:

    Why don't you use baking soda to clean the acid off

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars blxtothis says:

    Assaulting a Battery, excellent!

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mic Glou says:

    Never seen a battery looking this… damn. How it was even functioning is puzzling to me.

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mikey says:

    When a master technician has a slow day and does it small easy job it literally becomes a masterpiece

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars James Coady says:

    Ray, have you ever gotten foreign projectiles in your eyes when you grind something?

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bowhunters says:

    Nice job!

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Gerry B says:

    These extra video's are interesting Thank You !!

  26. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars TechLife says:

    "I'm going to will this day into a different reality". Surprising how well that can work, just get's your head into the right headspace.

  27. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Andy Ellis says:

    All vids spot on, how can people let battery's get to such a bad state of disrepair

  28. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Catherine Morgan says:

    you cheated rofl

    I'm here to reinforce my tapie tap on the subscribe button from long ago.

  31. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars MonkeyJedi99 says:

    Sure, spray-painting the battery bracket may seem silly cosmetic action, but the paint can help delay/slow future corrosion.

  32. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Brain Drain says:

    Thank you!

  33. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars FZMello says:

    Where would one get those drill-mounted battery post & terminal cleaning brushes you use to great effect?

  34. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Brian Bloom says:

    That battery holder-downer 5000 is missing some plasticy pieces

  35. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Raiden says:

    You did a great job.. although! I would have scrubbed that battery holder to make the paint adhere better. And I thought it was interesting that you didnt transfer over the battery cover. That battery cover is designed to reduce thermal deltas from high heat, and ice cold temperatures.

  36. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jon Summers says:

    The condition of that battery made me shiver……………. Bleh…

  37. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Erik Andreassen says:

    Seen a few nasty batteries but I think this one has won. Like the fact you never let a vehicle beat you unless it's outside your knowledge range and that's extensive. Your knowledge I mean.

  38. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Antonio Giudice says:

    do they park the car in a swamp?

  39. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Joop Jansen says:

    Good job, Ray!

  40. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars durakingdiesel says:

    Battery hold down rebuilt

  41. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Nico Gailliaert says:

    What products do you use to clean the clamps & protect them afterwards?

  42. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars N B says:

    prob its ok cleaning only ports but in my book of standards thats not enough. there is a lot more crusty contact on plus side that should be shiny and nice. js

  43. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars deaks25 says:

    One thing that has seemed odd to me; how on Earth was that corrosion pink! Never seem anything like it. The super clean and painted battery hold-down clamp was very satisfying, sometimes it is the little cosmetic things that make the difference (As well as being functional)

  44. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ich Hier says:

    Where to get these brushes?

  45. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Joseph Goetz says:

    what did the loud test show on the old battery and how old was it ? it was starting the car when you drove it in. nice cleaning ! but

  46. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Thestargazer56 says:

    I still hope that you get one of those silicone wedding bands before you burn or tear a finger off.

  47. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars real eyes realize real lies says:

    Fun fact, I had a neighbor once in a really nice area, and she was pretty hot, anywho, she collected the white corrosion from her battery and sold it to one of her junkie friends as heroin..Said friend then shot the battery corrosion in her vein, and nearly died..Sounds like a Florida tale, but no, happened up north..The neighbor did receive a lengthy prison sentence…Moral of the story, keep your terminals clean, don't do heroin, don't trust hot blondes, all valuable lessons…

  48. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars IMelkor42 says:

    Getting unnervingly close to shorting the battery terminals with your wrench there while working on it. Would recommend you take more care to prevent that happening.
    I put the plastic cover over the opposite terminal, while working on one of them, helps remove the chance of that happening.
