Garden Tractor Battery Storage
In article , Bill Darden
writes During the normal discharge process, soft lead sulfate crystals are formed in the pores and on the surfaces of the positive and negative plates inside a lead-acid battery. When a battery is left in a discharged condition or is continually undercharged, some of the soft lead sulfate is re-crystallizes into hard lead sulfate, which cannot be reconverted during subsequent recharging. Is there any way to recover a sealed (vented) accumulator once it has been left partly charged? We've been given a mobility buggy for Sue and one accumulator is OK but the other one won't fully recharge. I have a three stage charger, the first accumulator goes through all three stages but the second one sticks at stage two, and never gets to stage three. I've bought a replacement, but wondered if there was anything I could do with the old one - would a rapid discharge and recharge sort it out? John -- Jon Rouse |
