The post by [b:a65df8112a]Charles in Aus.[/b:a65df8112a] got me to thinking. Unfortunately, I don't have an answer, so will ask here.
I know that over time, lead sulfate forms, making the battery no longer function properly.
So here's my thought -- with the price of batteries getting so high, would it do any good to buy brand new battery acid, such as this (https://www.homedepot.com/p/6-Qt-Ba...t-Watchdog-Standby-Batteries-Z-Pack/100136419), and replace the old acid in an aging battery?
When I've looked into older batteries, I usually cannot see in very far due to the solids, presumably from the lead sulfate? Just curious if swapping out old acid for new would get more life out of an older battery.
Your thoughts?
