Pull the other one, this one's got scabs on it.

If you've got an achievement, you should be proud to share it. Your statement above, suggests you've got nothing worthy of public consumption.

It is for mass profits

What car do you drive?

If you can't afford a battery, you shouldn't be owning a car.

What's next? Money for fuel?

Are people this shameless about begging?

greggng:


Your comment will not discourage me in anyway. It is better to beg than to steal. You ve to know tht I ve been a member of this forum right from onset, things ve never being this tough for me. Life is full of ups and downs. One thing am proud of is tht when I had money I touched life and am grateful that some kind hearted people here are willing to help. May God bless them. I cannot sell my car cos I cannot afford bat3 is like asking me to dirvoce my wife cos things are hard

If things are as bad as you claim, the last thing on your mind should be throwing money down to fix a car.

It takes money to keep a car running.

That's a misinformation bro, distilled water has been distilled by boiling and condensed to remove most of the impurities including dissolved metals and minerals. The bottle water like Eva still contains these dissolved minerals, that why it's not encouraged to used in wet cells or car cooling system (to mix the coolant)

i'll gladly gv u Professor U.A. Birnin-Yauri's contact details. He's a renowned professor of Analytical chemistry. U can Google d name and see for urself. I did use bottle water (Eva, 2 be specific) for my project work and believe me my result was 1 of d best. Thank u

Kenkeye:


How do you know that your result was okay? And what test(s) did you carry out on the Eva water to ascertain that it was free of impurities?

Please I am having same battery issue and it has been embarassing to me new one is roughly 18k I don't mind if u can help me with something financially zenith acct 2007820971 God bless u

A quick reaction to what you have written above:
The multimeter reading of a battery does not actually tells if a battery is bad or good. The only way you get to know is by placing a load on it, and watch how long its sustained the load. So, whether your battery reads 11v or 13v is almost insignificant. There are some batteries that will read 13v, but immediately you put a load on it, it will drop to 0v.

A voltmeter test on a 12V battery that shows 11V means that the battery's state of charge is 0%. A load test in this case is pointless as the load will not be powered. Its only when the volt test shows 13V that the load test is the second test to determine the integrity of the battery. Therefore the multimeter reading is as important as the load test

A battery has a lifecycle. When a battery attained its l. ife cycle, it's dead and buried.

A battery can be dead but not buried. All Lead-acid batteries must be recycled. Just yesterday morning, i traded my battery for N3,000 for a new battery of N13,000 to pay only 10k.

Moreso, you changed the electrolyte but
but you didn't change the electrodes. Don't you know when the electrodes are used up its almost impossible for chemical reaction to occur. I would advice you get yourselves a new battery and save yourself from needless stress.

Lead-acid batteries in the real sense of it do not die. Its either the electrodes has too much sulphation or lost parts of the electrodes by shedding which is caused by excessive charging or discharging. There are hopes for sulphation, one of which the op is attempting.

Have a good day!

I did a physico-chemical analysis of Shea Butter samples gotten from different parts of d country. I compared my result with those of ppl who did similar work. I got result close 2 there's. Distilled water is de-ionised water if u will agree with me. It is written on the bottle of Eva "de-ionised" water. The process of boiling and condensing water 2 get distilled water is de-ionising (2 remove ions).

Since some idiots think anyone calling for personal advice wants to scam someone then they should never get the benefit of the outcome of my research( one which they are very lazy to do). If you are serious then send me a private message. It's not for public consumption.

Kenkeye:


My brother, that you got results similar or close to some people's results doesn't guarantee that your results are good. What if the 'others' commited same error(s) you committed? And mind you, I don't agree with you that distilled water is same as deionized water. Distilled water, deionized water and distilled-deionized water are completely different from one another. You should have investigated the purity of the Eva water before you used it as distilled or deionized water as the case was. Have you published a journal from that work?

Bnladan:
now take it as a challenge and do the investigation urself on the purity of Eva and if it serves as an alternative for distilled water. I believe it's an alternative and will still use it again if d need arrive. Thank you for ur tym. Dis is my last statement regarding dis

You re very correct my dear. I bought this car 6 years ago and I ve always maintained it very well. Am afraid of selling it cos sometimes it equally help me with chop money. Is not totally a liability per say. I ve been jobless since 2013 I finished nysc but I know one day I will come testify on nairaland. What I ve now is temporal. I salute u for ur wisdom God bless u

These are the reasons Africans must remain backwards for a long time. We are always lazy and afraid of taking up challenges and experimenting new ideas. China is where it is todar because they have a generation that think outside the box. We should all encourage the OP and educate him on the safety measures to be taken and not discouraging him.

linearity:


A car is a liability, it will continue to drain money from your pocket and no matter how you look at it, it is always cheaper to join public transportation.

If you park it and don't use it on a regular basis, it deteriotes faster, best advise is to get ride of it and invest the money.

It also hurts me to hear people suffering and saying that, they lack jobs in the mix of plenty. Look around you, improvise and employ yourself.

If you have a car or access to a car and you live in Lagos or Abuja and still complains of joblessness, you are part of the problem. I can't imagine a grown adult sitting around waisting away all in the name of 'I am jobless or looking for job'....

Go to uber.com and sign up to be a partner, if it is difficult to sign up and you have access to a car or can invest in a car, I might be able to help. You can make a decent living by doing uber and you will make a return that will make graduates and bankers envious.

The last time I was in Nigeria, I used uber exclusively and all my drivers were young and while talking with one, he makes N200k/month and he is a high school graduate.

There are many other self help initiatives like this in the country, you just have to re-orient yourself and start thinking away from the traditional updating my resume and hopping from one interview venue to another, think outside the box, be an employer and not an employee.

greggng:


Thanks very much for ur advice is quite encouraging. One day I wanted to join the program u mentioned but it seems they don't accept my type of car I mean the age. My car is toyota 2000 model but it seems they want something from 2005 upwards. I only use mine to take people to ikeja airport on demand. I don't know must of the routes in lagos. Finally my friends do complain that am a slow driver. To be honest with u I had the intention of selling the car as soon as I get a visa to travel out. I am not a perfect driver lagos driving is crazy. I salute u cos no knowledge is waste.

onos217:
I quit agree on some of the points you raised except for the voltmeter test . The voltmeter test is equally important but you can't use it to determine the true state of a battery.
I have worked with batteries that read some of these voltages:10. 5v, 11v, 11. 5v, and when we carried out a load test, they passed the load test. It was obvious that these batteries were undercharge.

However, there are some batteries that read the above stated voltages, and when the load test was attested on them, they failed the load test.

One true way of determining the true state of a battery is by placing that battery on battery machine. Then, carry out a series of recharge and discharge tests. Check the tests results,it would revealed to you the battery behaviour, and will equally tell you if the battery is good, bad or should be discarded.
Have a great!

Siena:


What car do you drive?

greggng:


My car is toyota camry 2000 xle millge 135k bat3 75amps. Do let me know whatelse u wanna know. Many thanks

Siena:


How much is the battery? Or rather, how much do you need, to complete the payment?

greggng:


I stand on my integrity and I ve to be very honest with u. I am not ashamed of telling u the truth. What I ve in my account as I type this is just 200naira. The bat3 that died I bought it for 12k then and the name is quick start. However I was told it has risen cos of dollar palava. I will appreciate what u can do while I kept on asking some other people I know. Is a bit difficult getting help nowadays cos the economic situation is affecting everyone. I am not a lazy man I will also appreciate if u can get me a job incase u come by any of such opportunity. I ve hnd upper credit in accounting. God bless u.

Siena:


No worries. I can't credit a Nigerian account from here. I can do Paypal, if you have access to a Paypal account, I can credit you the money right now.

greggng:


Oh ok I thought u re in Nigeria. But we don't use PayPal in Nigeria. May be u can use money gram or western union.
