remove sulfation in lead acid battery
« on: November 17, 2014, 05:02:49 AM »
I have an idea to remove sulfation in lead acid battery moderately safely.

0/ Put gloves on
1/ Remove the caps and collect the acid in a bucket
2/ wash inside of battery with water
3/ make up a water copper iodide solution and place in cells.
This produces Lead Iodide and copper sulfate. Lead Iodide is not very soluble in water.
4/ Put on battery charger in ventilated area and make hydrogen iodide gas.
5/ clean out battery of copper sulfate with water.
6/ put old acid back in and/or get acid levels restored.
use.

Hey, I'm not judging.  I just like to shoot straight.  I'm a man of science.

Copper iodide is moderately soluble is water and copper sulfate is even more soluble. This makes it reach all parts of a lead sulfate in the battery and removing the copper products is easy with excess available water. Electrically braking a lead sulfate bound in water is very hard, braking a lead iodide bond is very easy in comparison.
