I will give a thumbs up on this link … (posted a couple replies up in this string)

follow the directions carefully, have used it a number of times, has lasted a couple of years... made it till battery replacement time.

Good luck

I'm estimating that I have about one year of life left in these 12 volt batteries, thanks to this forum, i've stretched them out 5 years already. They still perform fairly well but they are slowly dropping and using up lots more water than before. If this fix works it will buy me some time until I can afford new ones.

Your drill motor might though.
Usually if you have some air flow/ventilation around the battery you wont have an issue, but safety goggles/ face shield can be a very handy thing as a pre-caution.

agree about the air flow and I'd add maybe have the caps off just in case you drill through and there would be pressure or significant H2 release. - but covered with a paper towel or plastic or something so not to get lead filings in a cell and short a plate,
