I stumbles onto vids about desulfate a Lead Acid Battery and I was wondering if there is anything to it. If its true then how would a lithium be better if you can keep a lead acid going forever?
It's technically called equalize.I stumbles onto vids about desulfate a Lead Acid Battery and I was wondering if there is anything to it. If its true then how would a lithium be better if you can keep a lead acid going forever?
Yep, as i understand sulfation starts immediately upon usage and gets progressively worse as voltage drops, idleness....
Maybe not having high voltages (8.1/16.2/32.4...) has rendered a lot of good batteries to the scrap heap, particularly when the hydrometer shows low specific gravity BUT the only problem was insufficient HIGH charge to remix the bottomed-out acid through bubbling action over a good amount of time.
I have multiple banks, and will create more, for specific purposes ( idea based on a breaker panel concept).
I care not for desulfators but I do care for getting my batteries up to a high charge now and mixing the electrolyte very well to add the "ounce of prevention is...."
Considering peeps throw out batteries willy-nilly, I would be more than eager to take some and do some "Frankenstein" experiments on them, I believe i can resurrect them. ??
I got a fantastic deal on a couple 230amp batteries that were bought then left in a barn for a year and some and were subjected to harsh winters, hard heat and were never charged. I brought em back to life ( both charge & specific gravity) and they are great! This was w/o getting them up to 16.1 for a few hours, the highest was 15.4 and that was for a couple minutes.
Once my variable charger arrives i will hit em and hit em good.
Awesome video! My initial reaction of “these guys are going to kill themselves!” mellowed into admiration for their endeavour and skills. I wonder how cheaply the re-made battery was sold?
$30 from another version of this video if I remember right. US$ I assume.I wonder how cheaply the re-made battery was sold?
Hmmm... I have several deep cycle, and starting batteries that fail to hold over 11V... any chance desulphating will work?
