In response to getting your $14 back after 6 months, I would doubt it.
As Gorno said this stuff is snake oil. It may have been nothing more than epsom salts. Some/few claim success but generally it solves nothing other than possibly delaying the inevitable and as in your case 6 months.
Epsom salts have the added potential of causing a battery to Explode. The theroy behind the epson salts is that the saline crystals "scrub" the plates clean.... Great theory, but the residue of that scrubbing has to go somewhere, and it usually sinks to the bottom. Depending on the amount of residue "scrubbed" off, it could potentially cause a "link" between a positive and a negative plate internally which would cause the battery to explode.

This isn't my theory, this is the summary of what 3 seperate battery manufacturers have said in response to me asking what the potential gain/disadvantage of running Epsom salts in a battery would be.

Personally I hate cleaning battery acid off the internals of a car and I would never take the chance that the manufacturers are right......
