I am making no claims here, and I am not done experimenting. I am simply sharing results, both good and bad
I began this experiment with 11 dead batteries that have been sitting in my storage area for approximately five years. I am also using one GOOD battery. At the time I began this experiment the voltage on the dead batteries was so low it was measurable only in millivolts, and really not worth recording. NO battery had as much as .05 volts on my meter.
The charged battery measured 12.64 volts disconnected from the circuit. It read the same when CONNECTED to the circuit, at least initially.
The 11 dead batteries were connected in parallel to provide me with some conditions I have used before in experiments with the Ossie Calanan circuit and with Earth ground circuits. The dead battery NEGATIVE was connected to the NEGATIVE of the good battery. The dead battery POSITIVE was connected to the POSITIVE of the good battery ONLY by the volt meter, which had the positive probe on the good battery positive and the negative probe on the bad battery positive, so that I could see the potential difference.
As you will see in video 1 the potential difference between the charged battery positive and the bad batteries positive began to climb immediately. I had expected to see that when I placed a GOOD battery in parallel with a bunch of BAD batteries in parallel, that the good battery would go DOWN and the voltage on the bad batteries would go UP. This has not happened. And as you will see, the voltage on the GOOD battery eventually went up .03 volts over time to 12.07 volts.
I did some things that had consequences, and I will describe here what I did, and the effect it had.
I had one meter in video one, because I couldn't find a second meter. Eventually I did, so I could measure the voltage across the good battery on ONE meter and the potential difference between good and bad positives on the other.
At SOME point (I would have to review all the videos to find that point) and I believe it was BETWEEN videos. I replaced the meter recording the voltage across the good battery with a lighted panel meter. This seemed to work fine.
I then attempted to replace the meter between the positives with a lighted panel meter and immediately the potential difference began to plummet. I believe by that time it had climbed from around 6 volts where it started in video 1 to 12.2 or possibly even 12.4. It may become apparent what it dropped to in a video. I immediately replaced the panel meter with the original. This experiment caused the charged battery to drop .01 volts
I attempted to run a 12 volt auto taillight on the potential difference, but it would not light up. When I put TWO good batteries in series for 24 volts, it DID light up very bright. I did NOT notice how this affected the potential difference or the voltage across the charged battery because I replaced the "potential" meter with the light bulb.
I ran an LED between the positives in parallel with the meter, and it lit up. The potential difference plummeted again, and the charged battery lost another .01 volts down to 12.65. At this time I checked the voltage across the BAD batteries and it showed over 3 volts. You will see this in one of the videos.
I started these experiments around 4:00 THIS AFTERNOON. It is now 12:23 AM. At the point I left things in my shop, the good battery had climbed back up to 12.67 volts, and the potential difference was at 12.2
I have no idea where it will be tomorrow or what experiments I will do next. I had intended to run the Ossie Calanan setup, but I want to wait and see how high the potential difference climbs in relation to the voltage of the good battery.
I understand that surface charges can give false measurements, but the measurement of the charged battery has been done with it connected to a load, so it is truly at 12.67 volts after starting at 12.64. As for the potential difference measurement. I would expect that since the meter draws SOMETHING to light the screen, and so does the panel meter, the voltages shown are accurate. I could be wrong.
Perhaps someone will have logical explanations for everything I am seeing. I certainly do not.
