$100 TRUCK GETS LOADED DOWN! $1 CEDAR POSTS!! TREES IN THE ROAD... MIGHTY MULE GATE OPENER TROUBLES!

What happens here

After the diagnosis, the presenter drives his old Ford pickup truck to an auto parts store. He returns with a new Duralast deep cycle battery from AutoZone. He removes the old, faulty battery and installs the new one into the gate opener's battery box, connecting the terminals. Upon testing with the remote, the gate opens smoothly and quickly, confirming the battery replacement successfully resolved the issue.

Goal: Restore full functionality to the solar-powered gate by replacing the dead battery.
