PbSO4 + H2O2 does not change to H2SO4; PbSO4 plus a good battery charger will do, changing the sulfate to sulfuric acid and most important, reducing the oxidized lead Pb+2 to Pb(0). IMHO, adding a strong oxidizer to lead[Pb(0) of a charged battery] will oxidize it and slightly discharge or deteriorate the battery.
Moreover, we can't oxidize Pb+2 because it is already oxidized. We have to reduce Pb+2 to Pb(0) to charge a battery, sulfate is not involved in this electrochemical process.
Finally what is the principle of improving battery life by hydrogen peroxide ?
Thanks, Rlach
