Acid Battery Reconditioning with Replacement Electrolytes A
group of back yard experimenters are looking at ways to
rejuvenate used sulfur lead acid batteries by replacing the
electrolyte with pickling alum, as well as magnesium sulfate
(epsom salts), and even copper sulfate. It is thought that the
new electrolyte reverses the sulfation build up on the plates of
the battery. by Timothy R. Shell Founder of BatteryConversions
Yahoo!Group Augus 2, 2010 A group of back yard experimenters who
have been working with lead acid battery conversions over the
past several years have now completed the first test of the use
of a copper sulfate solution as an alternative electrolyte. Past
work has focused on using pickling alum, (aluminum
sulfate/potassium aluminum sulfate), as well as magnesium
sulfate, (epsom salts), as the transition chemicals o
