See, I did the charging up of the battery using my Black & Decker VEC1086BBD "Smart Fully Automatic Electronic Battery Charger" until the Full light came on. Then I used a hydrometer on the cell fluids and was getting readings of approximately 1225 "hydrometer units" or worse. A digital multimeter indicated an engine off battery voltage reading of approximately 13.01V. So I'm confused because my battery charger and digital multimeter suggests that my battery is ok but the hydrometer suggests that my battery is possibly bad. Can you suggest any other tests than can be done at home to help determine if my battery is ok or bad? |

I have plans for a desulfator here: https://www.flapdoodledinghy.com/desulfator.html |
There's a few messages earlier in the thread with this link:
https://www.flex.com/~kalepa/lowpower.htm https://www.shaka.com/~kalepa/desulf.htm (obviously two links to the same user's stuff) Unfortunately, the link is dead. Luckily, I was able to find it elsewhere. I started by using archive.org to get a look at it: https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://...epa/desulf.htm but the pictures were missing. I googled for some of that page's text and found the original at https://home.comcast.net/~ddenhardt20...tor/desulf.htm Note that the page does not actually contain plans for building it. It refers to the plans as being in "Home Power Magazine" issue #77, and offers additional information/corrections. |

My dad used to use something like that in our lawn tractor battery. It always revived a battery that refused to charge. I found one bottle still in its package when he moved recently. I also recently bought some stuff called "Charge It" but haven't tried it yet.

I checked and I still had 1/2 of the bottle, the name of it is Minn Kota battery equalizer. |
