Default epsom salt with battery formulla

my 36v cart is only holding 35.6v on full charge. before i go spending a fortune on batteries i want to try the epsom salt first. do i need to pore out all the water in each battery and then fill it with the epsom salt/water solution?? how much epsom should i add to 1 gallon of distilled water?

Well, it has been a couple days since the battery quick fix came up. So, I guess it was due

Sure it does, I sell some special salts that I guaranty.
$6.50 plus $14.95 shipping, if you are unhappy I will
return the purchase price but not the shipping.

Yes, i have a 96 ezgo txt that i just bought. I joined this great site early march,2013 and loooked for some hints about batteries. The EPSOM SALTS remedy was worth a try. My batteries are dated Trojan105 E3 or May,2003. The cart was put on its charger overnite. The next day i drove it approx 1/2 mile befor slowing 'way'down and just crawling home. I found the BGW website,read the help stuff and found the epsom salts hint.YES it does work. I turkey basted the electrolyte down to the top of the cells. I then refilled to full with this formula. one tablespoon of epsom salts to one ounce of distilled water. The mixture has to be brought to a boil or close to it, to make sure the salts are disolved. Let cool and then fill your cells. My whole process used about 1 1/2 gallon of distilled water and over one pound of epsom salts. all items were purchased at local dollar store. I run this cart every day, and charge it everynite. I am now getting 3 to 5 miles,good speed and gaining more time every day. I definately believe that the Epsom salts remedy works. It was worth a try for me. Sorry the others did not get the same results.good luck.
