Rejuvenate Car Battery

 A GUIDE BY MIKE FROM MICHIGAN TO LEAD ACID CAR OR TRUCK BATTERY REJUVENATION

I HAVE MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF EQUIPMENT , FROM BACKHOES TO GAS POWERED AIR COMPRESSORS . CARS AND TRUCKS ,  EACH HAS A LEAD ACID BATTERY AND WHEN THEY SET FOR , SOMETIMES A YEAR OR MORE, GO DEAD AND DON'T RECHARGE . THEY SAY A -GOOD- LEAD ACID BATTERY WILL LOSE 10% CHARGE PER MONTH IT SETS . WHEN THEY SET IN AN UNCHARGED STATE  , SULFATE CRYSTALS GROW ON THE LEAD PLATES AND REDUCE THE ACTIVE SURFACE AREA ON THESE PLATES RESULTING IN REDUCED EFFICIENCY .  THESE CRYSTAL ARE HARD AND SEVERELY RESIST REDISOLVING INTO THE ELECTROLYTE  WHEN RECHARGING .  BECAUSE OF THIS THE BATTERY WILL NO LONGER CHARGE .

     THIS ITEM WILL TELL YOU HOW I USE WATER AND A GOOD BATTERY CHARGER TO REMOVE THE HARD CRYSTALS AND  GET THE BATTERY TO ,AGAIN, TAKE A CHARGE.

     THIS WILL NOT FIX EVERY BATTERY . BATTERIES WITH SHORTED CELLS OR BROKEN INTERNAL BUS BARS CAN NOT BE FIXED . THIS IS MORE FOR THE BATTERIES THAT SITE FOR EXTENDED PERIODS AND WILL NO LONGER CHARGE OR HAVE DIMINISHED CAPACITY . 

   I HAVE LIVED OFF GRID FOR 20+ YEARS AND THIS INFORMATION HAS BEEN USEFUL IN REJUVENATING MANY BATTERIES THAT OTHERS HAVE DISCARDED , WHICH IS HANDY TO BUILD MY HOUSE BATTERY BANK FROM .

     THIS INFORMATION ALSO INCLUDES MANTAINENCE FREE TRUCK BATTERIES
