Celebrating/talking about repairing stuff, the right to repair stuff, and the intersection of tech and solarpunk ideals.

What does it mean to use what we have, including technology, to try to build a better, more environmentally just world?

Neat, but contrary to the video description this method only works on lead-acid cells, not other types such as lithium-ion cells. Even then, it only works if the reason the lead-acid battery doesn't work is because its electrolyte has evaporated.

There is also no need for the fancy gel he's using; a little bit of deionized water will do the trick just as well.
