That would be great if it works out. I seem to run into a lot of barely dead batteries just from stuff sitting.

I have a friend that swears by mineral oil, just a few drops, and keep it on a desulfating maintenance charger

I figured it wasn't a terribly expensive experiment. If it gets me one more season out of a single battery it's paid for the entire bottle. I'll be curious to see how the other 2 respond. Then, how they all do next spring.

You're only realizing that now?

in Florida they don't think people know what 6' is cause they have this notice.....

dunno what worked really. I tried the epson salt trick with a trickle charger on no less than a dozen batteries in the last year. Recovery rate was 2, with a 3rd marginal. For the time and effort I spent on charging, adding this , trickle that, I ended up with 2 batteries that came up to 800cca + of their rated 1200 cca. Keep in mind 2x diesel trucks at 2 batteries per. 2 invertors ( 2 trucks ) and 2 batteries per. 2 crane trailer lifts at 2 batteries per. It all adds up. In short I bought 6 trojan brand batteries this year, reclaimed a couple and the kid scrapped the dozen or so we could not reclaim. If its going to bounce back I think you can tell. If its fooked then its fooked and I would not waste the time to try and bring it back
