Does that battery rebuild come with a warranty?

I would not want to think what this guy's blood lead levels are.

Fascinating nonetheless. Watch this guy completely rebuild a WLA battery:

Hah! The interesting thing about this is.... I don't see any remelting and reclaiming the lead for de-sulphating/renewing the plates. It's kinda like he just took it apart, remade the posts, put new liners between the plates and put it back together.... did I miss that?

I guess "rebuild" isn't what he did - all he did is reuse the case - and probably keep the lead plates for re-use later. Not sure how easy it is to recycle the lead oxide plates...
