Summary Comments : [ChrisFix] How to Test a Car Battery with a Multimeter

An************:

We took it to Sams Club and they said it was a little low and probably need replacement. Its got a 7/12 sticker on it so I assume thats just under 4 years old. I just received my new multimeter and did this battery test just like you said. It registered 12.46 after the 2min lights on and when we started up it drop to 11.65. I guess I'm going to keep my battery and add it to our monthly maintenance check, but your video just saved me from buying $100+ battery I didn't need to get just yet.

Thanks a lot for your time and efforts. Keep posting those videos for newbies like me.

My Chrysler 300 battery lasted 10 years before changig

Ed*******:

WOW! Thank you so much for your insight. I have been troubleshooting my 2005 Chrysler T&C Touring 3.8 for a month now and nothing seemed to work. The symptoms were as you described erratic dash panel, headlights inconsistently browing-out, vehicle turning of while at low revolutions, multiple error codes including cylinder misfire P003. I changed the alternator, cleaned battery terminals several times, checked each relay in the PCM box, took out dash panel an re-solder it, check al fuses, and the list goes on... and on. Until I came up to your idea of checking the battery and changing the battery terminals for Marine type. Wow! my battery was going bad, but my terminals were bad too. No more problems. Thank you!

Le*********:

My cars 11 years old and still got the factory battery

RG**:

I dont care what anyone says here that is negative. Bud, you really gave a professional and clear explanation on this subject. One of the things I ask myself is, does this give someone who has no knowledge or limited knowledge a clear and detailed explanation on how and why things are done. Chris, good job!!!!!!! One of the best videos regarding on training.

Th*******:

Legend has it that the "LEGEND" battery is still running...

AL******:

Another good one.  I've used a baking soda and water mixture (1/4 cup baking soda to 16 ounces water) to neutralize the acid on top of the battery and around the terminals.  It does a great job of killing that corrosion, but the mechanical action of the sandpaper is still needed to remove all the residue.  That WD-40 suggestion is a great idea.  Thanks, Chris.

Lo***********:

As always, you are precise, concise, very detailed instruction, but not a second wasted. Very clear video. All is top notch. Thanks a lot.

rv**********:

Excellent video production, clear instructions, well done!  Very helpful,Chris.

jd*****:

Thanks so much Chris! I've been having some issues with my battery, but it's been hit and miss, so I was just about to head out to buy a multimeter to test my battery before I purchase a new one. I didn't know about turning the headlights on to get rid of "surface charge", so thanks I definitely learned something. You make excellent videos, nice attention to detail, and a good step by step process. I really appreciate it!

le*:

Vaseline/Petroleum Jelly is good to put on the battery terminals to stop them rusting also...

St*******:

as always, well explained and thank you Chris Fix..

Al*********:

Great Videos Chris, have been watching for long, but this video was very helpfull, The battery guy told me my battery was gone this was in August 18,
I had a cheap Multimeter and used it as per your instructions word to word, it was amazing the battery is as good as new on the readings, till today it starts with the first crank, just added battery water a week ago, we get a little acidic battery water here ( its not pure distilled water) my battery is 4 years
4 months old , Thanks for your informative and easy to understand videos .

Ed***********************:

Hey Chris, I’m watching your video from 5 years ago, I gotta say man your videos have always been detailed but your recent videos are even better. I can really see how you’ve put in your all in making these for us. You’ve given me confidence to do small projects on my car and for that I’m really thankful !
Thank you !

Be************:

I was looking through other videos, but this one was the best. Thanks for the clear explanation.

Na******:

Below 5 your battery is garbage. Thank you for the wisdom sir

Tr**********:

+Chrisfix you should make a video on how to properly use a multimeter

Ca************:

To anyone with a multimeter with a min/max setting:

When testing to see how low the voltage gets when you start the engine, set your multimeter display option to "min" (minimum) and it will keep the lowest voltage it reads on the display for you. Super handy, especially if you are performing the test by yourself!

Ma********************:

very good instructional video. Very relevant for the time of year.

ch*********:

Good video Chris

To************:

great video! thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Knowledge is power but being considerate enough to freely share it is amazing. :)
