Rehabiltating batteries with Epsom salts?
I keep reading on the web how lead/acid vehicle batteries can be restored with a solution of Epsom salts. But the posters mostly say to replace the acid solution with an Epsom salts solution. I can believe them up to that point and on through the charging with the Epsom salts but don't you then have to drain the salts solution and replace it with acid and water before charging it and putting it back into service? You can't use it with no acid can you?
So many weird answers! Injure my battery beyond repair? How about you say how to repair? Just buy one? I need nine deep cycle batteries at a minimum of $180 each - some cost as much as $266. Just buy them without trying to fix the old batteries which at present will hold only 0 to 3 volts? Good luck with your money. I would like to try and save mine. None of you so far have addressed the question which was should the Epsom salts be drained and replaced with battery acid?
