That's the theory anyway.

There are a bunch of chargers out there that will zap the battery with
high-voltage/low-current pulses in an effort remove some sulfation.
There's little evidence that this does much of anything.

I experimented with this with an AGM battery out of my vehicle that was
not holding a charge. I repeatedly measured the capacity using a 25A
load to discharge the battery, then charged it using the "reconditioning
feature." The RC (Reserve Capacity) went from 30 minutes to 54 minutes
(after many cycles), but that’s still less than half of the 118 minutes
or so RC for a new D23 battery. Also, it’s possible that just the
repeated deep-discharge/recharge cycles would have achieved the same
increase in reserve capacity without the pulse mode being activated. See
<https://i.imgur.com/rRV4lH8.jpg> for the setup.

Since it was an AGM battery, and sealed, I could not open it up to do
this procedure
<https://www.advrider.com/f/threads/lead-acid-battery-reconditioning-with-epsom-salt.1199266/#post-31331059>
which, as the text states: "With the plates "de-sulfated" to some
degree, they will re-acquire some percentage of their lost storage
capacity. It's not a total cure-all, but it can indeed give some life
extension to old lead acid batteries." If you recall "VX-6" sold by
places like JC Whitney, it was just magnesium sulfate, but the procedure
described in the link would have better success than just adding
magnesium sulfate. It's a lot of work, and you also need to buy some
battery electrolyte to do the procedure properly.

>That's the theory anyway.

I didn't mention anything about whether "zapping" worked. I was just
trying to distinguish between *MOMENTARY* zapping and applying a
*brutal voltage* to the battery. Momentary might work, but continuous
overcharging is guaranteed to do something disgusting. In my case, I
have two white formica covered lab benches, both of which have tan
colored acid burns from where the blew the side out of the battery and
hot acid leaked out.

Well, it was not "momentary", the thing was connected for something like
a quarter an hour.

I'm sure that the charger had a rate limiter, though.

The problem was that the "mechanic" was not sufficiently familiar with
the thing. She should have called one of the proper mechanics instead of
trying to do it herself, but being close to closing hour they were
probably leaving the premises at that time. I was there to pay and
collect the car after routine servicing at the end of their day.

They would have known that to use the fast charging mode the battery has
to be removed from the car, or the high voltage applied destroys the
electronics - which did happen, but months later. An slow fault. And
long after that I chanced to read documentation for a similar charger,
and indeed they said this.

If that were the case, they would have noticed the situation earlier and
installed a new battery on the spot. I was having the car serviced for
"everything" that the book said had to be done periodically. Apparently
they "tested" the battery, and they discharged it too much. Bad on them,
too.

The idea of this quick charge was so that I could leave and get a new
battery promptly - which I did. Just not from them.

Well, you know the approximate voltage. Instead of about 14V, the
charger was delivering about 20V. You also know the current that was
being drawn, which should appear on the ammeter on the charger. My
guess would be 10 to 30 amps. Total power would be in the range of
200 to 600 watts. Now, where did this power go? It wasn't dissipated
inside the charger in some kind of rate limiter (also known as a
regulator) because it was measured outside the charger with the
battery attached. Therefore, the battery had to deal with 200 to 600
watts, which is could only convert to heat. I'll call it 400 watt
hours to make the arithmetic easier. The battery was charged for 1/4
of an hour, so that's 100 watt-hours or 0.36MJ (Mega-Joules). That's
about what it takes to boil a liter of water.

>The problem was that the "mechanic" was not sufficiently familiar with

If she used an automotive battery charger that was similar to the
monster charger I used when working at an auto dealer, it has two
general settings. The lowest charge rates are properly regulated and
the charger will do its best not to blow anything up. The other is
the "start" position, where the regulator is bypassed, and the full DC
power available is applied to the battery. This is used to start a
car when there is no spare starter battery available. The switch is
spring loaded to underscore that it should be used momentarily, not
continuously.

Some examples. Sorry about the focus problem:
<http://www.learnbydestroying.com/jeffl/pics/drivel/index.html#img=dead-battery-chargers.jpg>
If you look at the labels, these will show 10/2/55 maps. The 55 is
the "start" position. Incidentally, all these died when left to
charge batteries at a radio site. The regulator failed by shorting,
causing the battery to boil off the electrolyte. I took the photo
just before hauling all of them to the dump for recycling as eWaste.

Well. Haste usually creates waste. So, what are you going to do to
prevent something similar from happening again? I suggest beginning
with understanding how batteries and chargers operate.

Good point. 20V on the electrical system of a car is not a good idea.
I think 15.5V is the official maximum, but I suspect they're designed
to handle momentary overloads.

Older automobile electrical system testers used a carbon pile load.
Basically, a big resistor. Modern testers use an active load. Both
get rather hot when testing a battery. They usually include a spring
loaded "test" switch to prevent leaving it on and setting fire to the
tester. A good battery will usually survive, while the shop burns to
the ground. Notice the spring return toggle switch:

nope. modern testers do not get warm, let alone hot.

they perform an instantaneous check which measures cold cranking amps
(cca), internal resistance, health (soh), state of charge (soc) and

there's no need to destroy things to learn, although it's easy to

then it wasn't 'brutal voltage'. if it was, the battery would have been
destroyed long before that.

as you've been told by numerous people, a fast charger is high
*current*, not high voltage, and stops when the voltage reaches a
threshold, about 14.4v, depending on which type of battery it is
(flooded, agm, gel, etc.).

> I'm sure that the charger had a rate limiter, though.

it did, to limit the *current*.

that describes negligence, which means you have/had the makings of a
lawsuit.

the battery does not need to be removed for fast charging, although it
can be if its more convenient to do so, such as a lack of mains outlets
near the vehicle (e.g., street parking).

if the failure occurred months later, then it wasn't anything they did.

damage due to high voltage would have been immediate, certainly not
'months later'.

it sounds like there were other electrical issues in the vehicle, which
would have happened anyway.

if it's the charger you previously linked, that was high *current*.

we're still waiting for *any* link to a 12v car battery charger that
supplies 20-30 volts or documentation of why that would be beneficial
and not destroy anything.

unless you saw what tests they did and what the results were, there's
no way to be sure whether the battery was weak (likely), electrical
issues in the vehicle (also likely, given your description of a delayed
failure) or if they were lying (possible, but nowhere near as common as
people think).

quick charge is high *current*.

it is *not* high voltage.

The mechanic who works on my 2001 Subaru has one with a carbon pile
load. I know because I've repaired it a few times. Several of the
auto shops that I frequent also have ancient chargers. Sorry to
report, but the old stuff doesn't just disappear.

Yep. I totally forgot about ESR battery testers. I use an ESR meter
to testing batteries. However, it was made for testing capacitors,
not batteries. Thanks for the correction.

I also have a battery discharge tester:
<http://www.learnbydestroying.com/jeffl/LiPo/Ultrafire%2018650%20test.jpg>
The graphs it produces are far better than anything produced on a
typical ESR tester. For example:
<http://www.learnbydestroying.com/jeffl/battery-tests/18650.jpg>
I don't have the optional large heat sink and load necessary to test
automobile batteries. However, it does well for testing and matching
LiIon cells:

of my test equipment was newer than about 1985. That's really old
school:
<http://www.learnbydestroying.com/jeffl/pics/home/test-equip-mess.jpg>
I wouldn't mind having the latest and greatest, but if the old stuff
works, it's good enough.

True. However, the cost of destroying something tends to reinforce
the learning experience. Incidentally, the slogan came from my
college days, where the school motto was "Learn by Doing".

they might not disappear, but it does mean that those mechanics do not
have modern tools. there's also old-school think that's resistant (no
pun intended) to change.

In the olden days they used a high-wattage/low-ohm resistor, like 0.5
ohms at 300 watts to cause the battery to put out about 25 amps (though
as the voltage fell the current fell slightly). You time how long the
battery takes to fall to 10.5 volts and then you have the reserve
capacity. The resistor gets very hot of course.

A more accurate way to measure RC is to keep the load at 25 amps. You
can design an active load using multiple MOSFETs. Of course those get
hot as well, and you need to heat sink them well and distribute the load
between multiple devices.

For all intents and purposes, a high-wattage resistor is sufficient for
testing the reserve capacity of a lead-acid battery. DC load and AC
conductance tests only take a few seconds but they don't give any
indication of reserve capacity. There is little, if any, correlation
between the internal resistance of a battery and reserve capacity.

Today I wrote a tutorial which shows an _easy_ way to install even
hundreds of apps from Windows to Android over Wi-Fi using the command line.

Tutorial: *Working examples using Android/Windows adb over Wi-Fi*
The documentation below is designed to be as cut-&-paste as possible.

This tutorial assumes you already installed adb & enabled USB debugging.
<https://source.android.com/setup/build/adb>
Note this was tested WITHOUT the Android SDK; it just needs "adb.exe".

Android 11 and up allows adb connections purely over Wi-Fi (with no
initial or continued need for USB cables) which allows mirroring
over Wi-Fi using any of a variety of free & FOSS tools such as:
a. Vysor
b. Scrcpy
c. Microsoft Phone Link plus Microsoft/Samsung Link to Windows

Those local/remote mirror tools are described in gory detail here:
*What free software do you use to locally mirror Android over Windows*
<https://groups.google.com/g/alt.comp.microsoft.windows/c/eMYBmpq2H50>

*What free software do you use to remotely control Android over Windows*
<https://groups.google.com/g/comp.mobile.android/c/7toIA9mxX4o/m/DAmq_Z4PAgAJ>

While screen mirroring is fantastic, what this tutorial focuses on is
using the Android Debug Bridge (adb) commands over Wi-Fi from Windows.

Prior to Android 11, if the user wished to use adb with Android over Wi-Fi,
the adb connection had to be initially _established_ over a USB cable.

There is much information about that problem set, only summarized below.
1. C:\> adb kill-server (optional, but it helps for a starting point)
2. Connect the Android phone to USB (mandatory on Android 10 & below).
3. Connect to the Android phone over USB.
C:\> adb connect
Or
C:\> adb reconnect
You should see an output of something like:
* daemon not running; starting now at tcp:5037
* daemon started successfully
reconnecting ABCDEFGHIJK [device]
4. C:\> adb tcpip 5555
You want one of these two show up:
restarting in TCP mode port: 5555
Or...
* daemon not running; starting now at tcp:5037
* daemon started successfully
restarting in TCP mode port: 5555
Not this:
* daemon not running; starting now at tcp:5037
* daemon started successfully
error: no devices/emulators found
But you might get this if you started from scratch
* daemon not running; starting now at tcp:5037
* daemon started successfully
error: device unauthorized.
This adb server's $ADB_VENDOR_KEYS is not set
Try 'adb kill-server' if that seems wrong.
Otherwise check for a confirmation dialog on your device.
If you do, just press "Allow" & "Remember" on the phone when it asks.
5. At this point you can disconnect the USB cable (or leave it connected).
6. To connect over Wi-Fi, this always works at this stage in the process.
C:\> adb connect 192.168.0.2
Or, if you're a stickler for details, specifying the port works too.
C:\> adb connect 192.168.0.2:5555
In either case, you want to see this:
connected to 192.168.0.2:5555
7. At this point you are completely connected:
C:\> adb devices
That should output either this (if you left the USB connected).
List of devices attached
ABCDEFGHIJ device
192.168.0.2:5555 device
Or this (if you disconnected the USB already).
List of devices attached
192.168.0.2:5555 device

However, as of Android 11 and up, it's now possible to pair your Android
phone to your over Wi-Fi Windows computer without ever needing a USB cable.

That instantly negates the need for the workaround above, detailed below.
*Android Studio wireless ADB error (10061)*
<https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37267335/android-studio-wireless-adb-error-10061>
That 5-year old wireless/usb workaround was updated on Oct 4, 2021.

Here's a description of the new adb Wi-Fi capabilities in Android 11+
<https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/new-adb-make-process-simple-easy/>
"If you're on Android 11 (with SDK platform tool version 30 or greater)
and above, you can use wireless debugging to pair your device with the
computer. This Wi-Fi pairing method uses a new adb command called 'pair'
which works similar to how Bluetooth pairing works."

The _new_ command sequence to pair Windows adb to Android over Wi-Fi is:
A. Optionally, start at a known default starting point on Windows.
C:\> adb kill-server
B. Optionally, start at a known default starting point on Android.
Settings > Developer options > Revoke USB debugging authorizations
C. Make sure these Android 11+ settings are turned on.
Settings > Developer options > USB debugging = On
Settings > Developer options > Wireless debugging = On
Optionally:
Settings > Developer options > Disable adb authorization timeout = On

Then, to connect Windows adb to your Android 11+ phone over Wi-Fi:
<https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/adb#connect-to-a-device-over-wi-fi-android-11+>
1. Long press on Android "Developer options > Wireless debugging" settings.
2. Press the "Pair device with pairing code" option item.
This will report something like the following information:
Pair with device: Wi-Fi six-digit pairing code: 123456
IP address & Port: 192.168.0.2:54321
3. C:\> adb pair 192.168.0.2:54321 123456
You should see something like this on the phone:
Successfully paired to 192.168.0.2:54321 [guid=adb-{serial number}]
4. C:\> adb connect 192.168.0.2:54321

Now you can issue adb commands from Windows over Wi-Fi to an Android phone.
C:\> adb devices
That should report the devices that adb is connected to, for example:
List of devices attached
192.168.0.2:54321 device

C:\> adb shell netstat
That should list the phone's TCP/IP connectivity tables.

C:\> adb shell service list
That should list all the running services on the phone.

C:\> adb shell ps
That should list all the running processes on the phone.

C:\> adb shell ifconfig
That should provide your Android network interface information.

C:\> adb shell "cd /sdcard/Download && ls"
That should list files in your internal storage Download folder.

C:\> adb shell "cd /sdcard && mkdir temp"
That should create a "temp" directory in your internal
storage sdcard on your Android phone.

C:\> adb shell screencap -p /sdcard/temp/screenshot.png
That should snap a screenshot of your android phone & store it
in the newly created temp folder on the Android phone.

C:\> adb shell screenrecord /sdcard/temp/screenrecord.mp4
Do whatever on the Android phone & then press Ctrl+C to end.
That should create an MP4 recording of your Android screen.

C:\> adb install "C:\path-to\filename.apk"
That should install the APK from Windows over Wi-Fi onto Android.
(Note this is useful when you have hundreds of apps like I do!)
<https://i.postimg.cc/bN875p8b/apk01.jpg> Windows APK archive

C:\> adb push "C:\path-to\filename.apk" /sdcard/Download
That should copy the named file from Windows to Android &
(in this case) put it in your internal storage "Download" folder.

Note that each phone OEM "can" use a different filespec for
internal & external sdcards (e.g., /storage/emulated/0/Download).

C:\> adb push C:\path\apk_archive\ /sdcard/Download/apks
That should create a folder named "apks" in the Android phone's
internal storage "Download" folder and then copy all the files
from the Windows "apk_archive" folder into that new "apks" folder.

C:\> adb shell
$ /storage/emulated/0/DCIM
$ ls
$ exit
That should allow you to interactively manage the Android
filesystem from Windows over Wi-Fi. Note these are common:
/mnt/sdcard/DCIM
/sdcard0/DCIM
etc.

C:\> adb logcat
Use this if you're a glutton for punishment as it will forever
spit out a log of what's going on your phone (until you Ctrl+C).

C:\> adb logcat *:E
The values are:
V: Verbose (lowest priority)
D: Debug
I: Info
W: Warning
E: Error
F: Fatal
S: Silent (highest priority. Nothing is printed)
Note logcat has multiple options, e.g.,
adb logcat Tag1:I *:S
That will list output log messages with the tag "Tag1"
and priority level Info or higher.
The *:S at the end will exclude the log from other tags
with any priority.

I found the docs to the load tester the my mechanic uses. It's a Sun
VAT-40:
<http://www.learnbydestroying.com/jeffl/Sun%20VAT-40/>
<https://www.google.com/search?q=sun+vat-40&tbm=isch>
Besides the battery, it also tests the alternator, starter, regulator,
gauges, and parts of the electrical system. The battery load is an
adjustable carbon pile.

Yep. That's what the more modern shop use. An active load is much
better than a carbon pile.

I don't have much experience with automotive ESR testers. The few
times I tried one, I found that a discharge curve test was much
better.

Testing the resistance and conductance can tell you if the battery is
bad. But that can't tell you what the reserve capacity is.

that's the point.

some do, however, it's a parameter that is not particularly important
for cars. it's also not something that's measured by carbon pile load
testers.

For the record, for anyone attempting to reset the Android Advertising ID
from Windows, Android 11 and below would reset the id to a GUID, or
globally unique ID, (similar to what Windows 95 CoCreateGUID created,
according to Mayayana's kind advice on the Android newsgroup today).\
<https://i.postimg.cc/0NhFk5J2/adid01.jpg> Doubletap to Reset AD ID

<https://i.postimg.cc/X7vb5j84/adid04.jpg> Calling an Intent with a GUI

However, notice in Android 12 the GUID at times is set to all zeroes.
<https://i.postimg.cc/nhNNQvNN/adid07.jpg> Check Advertising ID

We surmised that's because there are two new commands in Android
Settings > {Privacy,Google} > Ads > Reset advertising ID
Settings > {Privacy,Google} > Ads > Delete advertising ID <== new!
Settings > {Privacy,Google} > Ads > Get new advertising ID <== new!
<https://i.postimg.cc/XvqM5CSd/adid06.jpg> Delete Advertising ID

Apparently "delete" isn't so much a delete as a "zero out" such that the
GUID is of the form (8-4-4-4-12) of 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000.

This program is the only known program in all of Google Play that is known
to report that Advertising ID outside of the Android Settings GUI.

Has anyone here used WebDav to mount Android onto Windows as a drive over
Wi-Fi?
If so, can _you_ see your Android external sdcard from Windows over Wi-Fi?

I can't.
I can see _everything_ else (including the root filesystem!) but not the sd
card.
(Note I'm not rooted but that shouldn't matter to see the sd card, should
it?)

I attempted these permission-addition commands because the Windows Wi-Fi
mount of the Android file system as a drive doesn't access the external
sdcard yet.
C:\> net use Z: \\192.168.0.2@8080\DavWWWRoot

I also tried adding a login/password of (foo/bar) but that didn't matter.
C:\> net use Z: \\192.168.0.2@8080\DavWWWRoot /USER:foo bar

And I tried specifying the root directory:
C:\> net use Z: \\192.168.0.2@8080\storage\emulated\0 /USER:foo bar
C:\> net use Z: \\192.168.0.2@8080\storage\0000-0001 /USER:foo bar

At least not when using this free WebDav server on Android to mount Android
as a
drive letter onto Windows over Wi-Fi using that Windows "net use" command.
*WebDAV Server* by The Olive Tree

<https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.theolivetree.webdavserver>

The problem I'm having with Android 12 connecting to Windows is that I can
set the WebDav server root to anything I want to in the WebDav server GUI:
<https://i.postimg.cc/sxzR0Pg8/webdav01.jpg> Mount Android over Wi-Fi

But from Windows I can see everything on Android (including the root file
system) except what is on the external sdcard (even though, on Android,
I can easily see what's on the external sdcard).

Using this adb tutorial to check if permissions are the problem, I run:
C:\> adb shell pm list packages | findstr "webdav"
package:com.zq.webdav.app_free <== this is ad free but more complex
package:com.theolivetree.webdavserver <== this is the one I'm using
To list its permissions I can run this but it didn't find any permissions.
C:\> adb shell pm list permissions | FindStr
"com.theolivetree.webdavserver"

This "might" grant it permission to read external storage:
C:\> adb shell pm grant com.theolivetree.webdavserver
android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE

But, unfortunately, even though I can see the Android root file system
from Windows (with Android being a drive letter), I can't see the external
sdcard for some reason.

What's odd is I can see literally everything _except_ the external sdcard
from Windows with Android mounted as a drive letter over Wi-Fi.

Has anyone here used WebDav to mount Android onto Windows as a drive over
Wi-Fi?
If so, can _you_ see your Android external sdcard from Windows over Wi-Fi?

In summary, the situation is thus for mounting Android to Windows over
Wi-Fi:
a. I'm not rooted (and yet I can see the root file system) as a drive
letter.
b. The WebDav server _says_ it will mount Android over Wi-Fi as a drive
letter.
c. But _only_ the external sdcard will not show up in that Windows mount.

Why?
What's the solution?

SOLVED!

Thank you for that purposefully helpful kind & astute suggestion!
<https://i.postimg.cc/BvJdKWzt/webdav06.jpg> Both sdcards mounted

Following up on your excellent advice, I mounted the entire internal sdcard
over Wi-Fi as Windows drive letter Y: using one Android webdav server set
up to use port 8080...

While simultaneously mounting the external sdcard over Wi-Fi as Windows
drive letter Z: using another Android webdav server over port 8081...

A USB cable is fine, and, in fact, works great for file transfer.
but it doesn't act like a Windows drive letter, nor an Android mirror.

a. This mounts the internal sdcard as a drive over wifi on Windows:
C:\> net use Z: \\192.168.0.2@8080\DavWWWRoot /user:foobar snafu

b. This mounts the external sdcard as a drive over wifi on Windows:
C:\> net use Z: \\192.168.0.2@8081\DavWWWRoot /user:foobar snafu

c. This pairs Android to Windows over wifi for mirroring & control:
C:\> adb pair 192.168.0.2:54321 123456

Here is the result, where I don't know if it gets any better than this!

Again you bring up a GREAT question, of whether a WebDav server is
the same thing or if it's completely different from an HTTP server.

I don't know. Does anyone here know how a WebDAV server differs
from a plain old HTTP server? Are they one and the same?

If they're the same thing, all you need to do to make your Android
phone (or iOS phone for that matter) a drive letter over Wi-Fi is run
those "NET USE" commands listed above.

What I see is the entire Android phone from Windows over Wi-Fi,
at least as far as I know, but I only have write permission
to the sections of the phone that you'd expect to write to.

As far as I know, you can't get much more power than I have now.

> Congrats though.

Thanks. I hope others benefit from the knowledge and I very much
appreciate that you helped me solve the problem of _simultaneous_
access to both the internal and external sdcard, thanks to you!

Can interfacing a smartphone to Windows get any better than this?
<https://i.postimg.cc/BvJdKWzt/webdav06.jpg>

Today I solved _all_ the problems I had run into, thanks to the advice from
other helpful intelligent people such as Andy Burns, Herbert Kleebauer,
Big Al, et. al, all of whom are who make Usenet a valuable adult
conversation where ideas are exchanged so we all benefit from the result.

1. Over Wi-fi
2. Using only widely available free tools
3. I can now easily mount the _entire_ Android device
4. both the internal sdcard (including the root partitions!)
5. and the external sdcard, simultaneously,
6. each as their own Windows drive letter
7. while at the same time being able to mirror the Android phone
8. and control the Android phone using the mouse & keyboard
9. while simultaneously sharing the two clipboards between them
10. And being able to slide files back and forth at will

My question to the group at large simply is whether there is anything else
that we could possibly want in terms of complete Android/Windows sharing?

Note all of this is done
a. WITHOUT any login to anything!
b. WITHOUT any connection to the Internet!
c. WITHOUT paying a penny for tools

Does it get any better than that?
