Yes- it’s like a book ,lol - towards end he does analysis on specific brands - very detailed - keep in mind this testing is for protection against wear on metal - there are more aspects to good oil , but it’s a good start -

He should have left the battery charging section to an electrical engineer.
I haven't seen a trickle charger is over 20 years, unless he means the Harbor Freight ones for under $10.
Almost all battery chargers are microprocessor controlled are are safe to leave connected to the battery all the time, as they do not trickle charge.
