Scrapping aCar Battery for Lead #asmr #melting #satisfying #trashtotreasure #scrapping #battery

My MOS in the Army was 63B10, Light Wheel Vehicle mechanic. I worked on anything from humvees to 10 ton tractor trailers. Our unit even had an M88 tracked recovery vehicle that had tricycle handle bars for a steering wheel lol. But during Desert Storm in the middle of bumm fucked Saudi Arabia desert, our LT decided to play dune buggy with his humvee while bringing back some supplies I had ordered, some of which was 2 ea 5 gallon jugs of undiluted battery acid. One of the jugs split and spilled it’s contents out into the vehicles floor. It started eating the mats and aluminum floor etc, and he showed up begging me to clean it out and hide the mess, which I did, but it ended up burning both of my hands pretty good. Being as we were in the desert the most I could do was to park the vehicle on a hill sideways and then use tons and tons of water to flush the acid out. I drilled 1 half inch hole in the floor as a drain and then got water platoon to bring me a 500 gallon tote of water. I used all of the water, and was able to clean the acid out My hands… were burnt WHITE , the outer layers of skin was dead dead and took a few weeks to come off. I had to wear socks on my hands at night with Vaseline and during the day I wore rubber gloves with Vaseline. Never again will I mess with battery acid without gloves. Why did I back then ? Well, in the desert I didn’t have access to rubber gloves or protective gloves. The ONLY protective gloves I had for chemicals were my NBC gloves and those were being saved in case we were attacked with NBC weapons. So yeah, if your going to fool around with batteries, you absolutely need protective gloves, apron, and GLASSES. You only get one pair of see balls. That’s it

Thats twice you videos made me jump back!

It would have been interesting to have weigh the battery before and after to see exactly how much was usable lead. How much do you think you recovered from the batteries... I couldn't tell by the scale... But once you tackled such a battery, you now know what to do next time to make it better experience. That is IF you recovered enough lead to make the effort worth it...

Lots of work to scrap a battery and melt it. Cool video! new friend here

I don't think I would have put this video up on here,😂 it would have been easier and cleaner to cash the batteries in.😂

Cool melt New subscriber hear.

That stuff you knocked out of plates is lead oxide

Should leave it for the pros😅😅😅😅😅😅

Well that was kinda embarrassing. Better luck next time!

When scrapping batteries always have baking soda mixed with water to neutralize the acid I cant remember if its sulfuric or hydrochloric acid but acid burns are not pretty or fun

You should use a hazmat suit for this project. I thought about taking apart a battery, but lead would get everywhere.

looks really sketchy lol Edit: the battery part

I guess this answers the question is it worth doing. No

lolollooooolllll. so you suposed to be the american "bigstack" hmm? .eheh chill m8 all good.
