I have watched a few videos and read a few posts on this topic.
first video I watched was looked to take place at a roadside market in India. a guy was fully disassembling 12v batteries, temoving lead plates, replacing what looked like cotton or paper pads between lead plates then reinstalling the plates and pads, re-melting lead plate connectors, then melting the plastic tops back onto the battery and finally pouring new lead terminals. he then refilled the battery with liquid and charged it. finally, he shows that it does have 12v charge after completion.
next, I read some posts and watched a video where batteries are simply rinsed out with baking soda water, then refilled with Epsom salt dissolved in water and then apparently charged back into service.
can someone who understands this process explain what i am seening and reading?
The India video had no English. in the English post and video, no one ever talks about the Epsom salt water... where does the sulfuric acid come from? they're called Flooded Lead ACID batteries,, but I saw no acid mentioned.
does this really work? can a battery be brought back into service?
currently, my batteries are fine. I am just looking to the future, and trying to accumulate knowledge and skills.
