My chemistry teacher at school, 50 years ago, told me it works by some how displacing the sulphate[ lead sulphate?] on the plates of the cell. something about numbers in the electrochemical series I think. It was a long time ago....My experience is that it definitely works. If you have a battery that has lost most of its capacity, give it a try. you have nothing to lose.

This is interesting, but not new.

I'm sure he's using a battery desulfator.

I've been using one of these for a while and it works great. Highly Recommended.

You can also find DIY articles, but you can hardly build it for what Battery Life Saver sells it for.

Here the link of the best plan I see so far for making your own Lead-Acid Battery Desulfator.

I want to build this circuit soon, as soon I find all the parts, now time to find free dead battery
