I just found out about a new type of battery charger called the
BatteryMinder that will (it is claimed) rejuvenate Lead/Acid batteries
that are dead due to sulphating. A friend of mine used one on a battery
that had been totally discharged for too long, and was able to recover
it. He sent me a 12v one and I am looking around for some batteries to
try it out ... like a couple of dozen Sharp PC-5000 lead/acid batteries
:). If this works on *old* lead acid batteries, I will be one happy
camper :)!
If anyone is curious, their web site is at:
