Some years ago I ran across a bloke who claimed he could extend the life of a battery suffering a near death experience.
What this lad said he did was drain and flush the old electrolyte and re-fill with new battery acid. His theory was that the old stuff got diluted with use and by putting in new acid and charging battery life could be extended provided the internals had not suffered a catastrophic mechanical failure.
Anyone tried this or got any thoughts as to why it would or would not work?
Never tried it myself but with the cost of replacing batteries it maybe worth a shot.
