Have one of these guys rebuild it.
I believe the 200 amp shock would knock some of the sulfation off the plates200 amps? That doesn't sound too safe. 2 amps on a trickle charger for a couple of days is what I've been told by people who work with battery's for a living.

Yikes - d'ya think he might suffer from lead poisoning at some point?
It's cool to that these guys can do that, but I can't help but wonder about their health.
There's a couple of series of these guys doing this work in (I think) Pakistan. In some ways, it's really interesting to see the work being done on such a basic level, but on the other hand, it's a bit horrifying to know that there are long term effects to what they are doing.
Here's one that shows working out in the street with motorcycles whizzing by and a lot of arc welding
Building a welder
I know these series on YT, amazing ! You know Pakistani truck ? Fantastic series about trucks. Those guys repair everything and they still have all their toes
That's the future with government forced electric vehicles.

Another thing about the battery is the sediment at the bottom of the battery. If there’s an excessive amount then unless it’s removed, the battery is done for
I personally do not think the future is likely to be with EV. "Blue Gas" hydrogen is pollution free and you don't have a guilty conscience about child slave labor mining the Lithium, cobalt and Nickel in third world dictatorships like Angola. Hydrogen is also better because there are not any toxic battery metals to be recycled. No one as yet has found a cost effective way to get rid of expended lithium ion batteries thru recycling. Regardless of whether the future lies with Hydrogen or Lithium Ion technologies, the current electric grid will need significant expansion either to generate the Hydrogen or charge the Lithium Ion batteries.

I agree about the electric grid. Recent events in Texas shows how badly its needed, I would go into the reasons why it happened, but this is a forum about cars, not politics, so ill just be quiet now
Hydrogen scares me, and I'll explain why
The by product of hydrogen is water vapor right?
That sounds harmless enough on the surface, but what I've never heard brought up is........what happens when you have 10 million vehicles putting water vapor into the atmosphere?
Will it change the relative humidity? Will deserts turn into tropical rainforests?
Nobody thought about these things when there was a few thousand ICE around, but now with millions
There are so many ways to produce electricity, and recently I've heard there is enough rare earth metals at the bottom of the China sea to last a generation,that's why its so highly contested right now, its just nobody has figured out a way to get it........ yet
However, in the present, upgrading our electrical grid should be at the top of our priorities, and hope in the future technology advances so we can produce cleaner electricity, and better battery storage
Water vapor is a green house gas. But the amount of it is constant, only its form changes; vapor, liquid or ice. The main item to remember is that the amount of water used to create Hydrogen and Oxygen returns to the same amount of water as the Hydrogen and Oxygen are reacted. Water is neither created or destroyed in this operation. The climate processes will freeze, vaporize or precipitate the water, but the same amount of it is still around.
