Its so easy to get caught up watchin stuff on there. One thing leads to another and now I end up watchin things I had no intention. I guess thats the point though. Good entertaiment and I have actually learned quite a bit, lots from YouTube.

Its a good iducation

chords...spot on!

I learned that for all these years I have been tossing my 12-18 volt drill drivers when they would not hold a charge only to find out thru a vid on Utube, that the batteries can be revived and brought back to life....by using a welder to reverse the charge and then back again and they are good for another life.

I'd like to know how!! AC welder or DC welder? I have had a battery pack blow up on me so like to know correct way :).

Yes it works, and the feed is always DC....you can also use a high amp battery charger to do the job. Simply involves retraining the power cells which in most cases got drained too far and have reversed polarity within the battery pack. I would wear eye protection tho as a safety precaution.

Back in the day about 25 yrs. ago I hooked up an arc welder to my Cable Tv coax cable to send a jolt in reverse to burn out the programing filters installed in line up on the pole (it was done that way back then). Well I took out the whole trailer park. Guess that little copper wire turns to a welding rod when you do that, live and learn.

Speaking of stuff you find on u-tube, came across this this summer. I recently noticed on TV during some Wisc Badger highlites, they put small clips in the highlites from this u-tube clip. I see the views are now over 23 million. Make sure you got the sound on, that is what makes it. Warning: language
