OP, I am surprised no one is giving you a useful advice. I have one which I do and its working even till tomorrow. I used for my inverter deep cycle batteries 4 months ago and up till now my it's never failed. Epsom salts to an extent works but not as much the one I did. Interested? Contact me.

It was revealed to me while I was in the flesh, that the OP will succeed with his experimental suicide if he.... Oli! Oli!! Oliiiii.... Skibororoskibo skibororoskibo... Yepaaaaa oshee ***goes into a trance****

This is becoming and unbecoming.. This OP is trying to do Abrakadabra with Epsom salt. This is highly dangerous, loquasous, contagious, lepacious, buharicios, and can lead to a permanent negative change in the eyes, hands, breasts and the Konji junctions, ears infections like Buhari ears, and plenty commotions and explosions like the ones between efcc, APC, Codeine, and PDP.
... Meanwhile, the OP is no where to be found...Let someone go and stop him b4 he will burn himself down in the name of battery experiment...
....Police, abeg, make una come oooh..
...... life nor get duplicate oooohhhh.

Thanks for the info. Got the salt (450 grams)



Thanks for the concern, it is appreciated and every precaution will be taken. Eye goggle, rubber handgloves etc.

Having gotten the right quantity of salt, I just to collect 2 liters of distilled water (I decided to collect rain water instead)

The procedure seems simple enough but alot of care will be taken. Will inform you guys about the result after collecting the rainwater.
An alternative source for distilled water is condensed water from Air Conditioners.. Just locate air conditioner discharge outlet and trap water coming from it. Wishing you success in ur experiment!

yes it works lots of videos on youtube,but safety measures must be followed to avoid story that touches.

Op I love your brilliant mind. My candid advice is that, while you are reactivating your old battery using Epsom, kindly buy another battery and put inside ur boot. It's safer to replace fault battery, than to repair it.
Thanks

Hi all,
My car battery (wet cell) was showing signs of impending failure, I had an electrician drain, replace the electrolyte and charge the battery.
however the battery still can't fully retain charge, my multimeter show it at 11 volts instead of 13 volts for a fully charged battery.
I read that epsom salt helps in de-sulphating the weak batteries to make them retain electric charge.

Has anyone tried this? Or does any one know where I can get epsom salt crystals?

How much is a new battery to go through this crap?

Everything in life has a lifespan including car batteries.

There is no need setting yourself up for failure.

Chai! OP
Who told u rain water is even near to distilled water. It is not, rain water are usually acidic due to the presence of acidic oxides discharged into the atmosphere which in-turn gets dissolved into d clouds and fall as rain. If in doubt test wit a litmus paper.

To get distilled water, get a kettle, boil water wit it, and condense the water vapour comin out from d open end of the kettle when d water is boiling.
Bottle water lyk Swan and Eva can serve as distilled water coz dey are de-ionised. My Prof. suggested I used dem wen I was doing my Undergraduate project.

A quick reaction to what you have written above:
The multimeter reading of a battery does not actually tells if a battery is bad or good. The only way you get to know is by placing a load on it, and watch how long its sustained the load. So, whether your battery reads 11v or 13v is almost insignificant. There are some batteries that will read 13v, but immediately you put a load on it, it will drop to 0v.
A battery has a lifecycle. When a battery attained its life cycle, it's dead and buried. Moreso, you changed the electrolyte but
but you didn't change the electrodes. Don't you know when the electrodes are used up its almost impossible for chemical reaction to occur. I would advice you get yourselves a new battery and save yourself from needless stress. Have a good day!

During my service year, because I was very hard working, nah him my oga carry lab key give me say make I dey do practical for students, since my secondary school and university never allowed me play Dr Who those days, I decided the opportunity has presented it self.

Nah so I carry chemistry practical book they scan through, so I saw how to make nitrogen gas using sulphuric acid a complicated procedure but I decided to try it.

Beaker, ammonia, sulphuric acid in minute quantities nah so smoke full every where, I was choking and worst still sulphuric acid spill on the table, I thought it was water and I touched it, the kind irritation I experienced on that hand no be small. I just thank God it didn't chop off or burnt off.

When ever I see sulphuric acid this acid no get diluted form, nah to stay clear of it.
It's the only chemical I give adequate respect to. I'm not just comfortable working with conc sulphuric acid. It's like a demon in concentrated form.

Sorry for the late response, thanks for all your advice and concern. For those asking if am still alive, am very much so just that am currently on location for two after which I fully intend to continue with the epsom salt theory.

Will keep you guys updated on my return.

...Haleluyahhhh !!! Thank God this OP is still alive.. U still want to continue with ur battery magic ? Abeg, we de fear for here. The explosion, if the magic goes wrong, can cause irreparable loss and damage to all us here, both mentally, physically, nairalandcally, buharically, and even kpakpa, totorically.

If you can't afford a battery, you shouldn't be owning a car.

What's next? Money for fuel?

Are people this shameless about begging?

That's a misinformation bro, distilled water has been distilled by boiling and condensed to remove most of the impurities including dissolved metals and minerals. The bottle water like Eva still contains these dissolved minerals, that why it's not encouraged to used in wet cells or car cooling system (to mix the coolant)

These are the reasons Africans must remain backwards for a long time. We are always lazy and afraid of taking up challenges and experimenting new ideas. China is where it is todar because they have a generation that think outside the box. We should all encourage the OP and educate him on the safety measures to be taken and not discouraging him.

Since some idiots think anyone calling for personal advice wants to scam someone then they should never get the benefit of the outcome of my research( one which they are very lazy to do). If you are serious then send me a private message. It's not for public consumption.

Pull the other one, this one's got scabs on it. wink

If you've got an achievement, you should be proud to share it. Your statement above, suggests you've got nothing worthy of public consumption.
