How do you recondition a lead acid battery?

To recondition a lead acid battery, you need to remove the lead sulfate buildup from the plates and restore the electrolyte solution. This process involves cleaning the plates, adding distilled water and sulfuric acid to the electrolyte, and charging the battery to its full capacity.

Are lead acid gel batteries safe?

Lead acid gel battery are considered safer than regular fluid-filled lead-acid batteries. Each battery cell contains a thick gel, if the battery gets dropped or damaged and the case splits open, the gel remains in place, whereas a fluid-filled battery would leak dangerous sulfuric acid.

Can a lead acid battery be desulfated?

Our battery desulfation solution is safe and effective on all lead acid batteries for golf carts, motorcycles, cars, boats, snowmobiles, scissor lifts, steel case forklifts, and much more! Made in the USA

Can a lead acid battery be drained?

Low maintenance or “sealed” lead acid batteries are widely used in cars and other vehicles like ATVs and golf carts. However, these batteries can be completely drained on occasion and must be recharged. The process is similar to that used for the older types of lead acid batteries (those that have removable caps on top for each battery cell).

How does a lead acid battery work?

The lead acid battery generates electrical energy through a chemical reaction between its electrolyte fluid (consisting of sulfuric acid and water) and lead plates. Each time a battery discharges, lead sulfate crystals form on the battery plates. When the lead acid battery is recharged, the lead sulfate disperses. However, not all of it goes away.

Can a lead acid battery be reconditioned?

Try to avoid running the battery down to zero. Sometimes, lead acid batteries can suffer from irreparable damage that cannot be fixed through reconditioning. One common cause of irreparable damage is sulfation, which occurs when lead sulfate crystals build up on the battery plates over time.
