Instead of creating junk science, the video scientist should perform basic maintenance. Depending who you talk to, coolant voltages over .2 - .7 vdc indicate the coolant base additives have degraded allowing the coolant to become acidic. All kinds of expensive corrosion starts eating away at head gaskets, water pumps, anything aluminum, thermostat housings, etc.. He needs to flush his cooling system, refill with a good quality coolant and verify a voltage under .2 vdc.

By the looks of the top of his battery, he needs to check it for parasitic case draw too.
