How do you do this? I have an electronic 12v charger that has the desulfate button; I guess I could do it on 2 of my 6 volts at a time? Yes No? or do they have to be done 1 at a time?

Some people say they have some luck with it. I, however, think it's a waste of time. You WILL have to replace the batteries at some point - spending time and money attempting to rejuvinate old batteries is only a very temporary fix at best...

The real "?" is do you have more time or more money.

If time is not problem then definitely try it and send us the results , the more information the better.
And the more measurements U make during the test/project the better .

If you are not on a budget then just belly up and get new batteries +$600.00!

This is only my openion and may or may not reflect the views of others in this forum !

If I can revive a set of batterys and get at
least six more months out of them why not
hold on to my money a little while longer.
Yes you will have to replace them sooner
or later.as for the time I have plenty of that.
I will get all the directions and measurements
down and post them tomorrow.
I am not saying this will work every time and
for everyone but it does work sometimes for
us.

If he did 100 batteries and only one failed, your figure is correct.

What's the REAL story so that others may learn.

That's 83.333333% "worked"

Now explain "worked"?

I don't mean to sound disrespectful, but I would like someone to show some solid PROOF that it works. Not just that it takes a slight charge! When someone says that it works, then others read it and start to "think" their quick fix works, too. I'm all for trying, but I think these ideas stay alive because people doing it really don't know what a good working battery does?
