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.

Even if ur Prof. had asked u to use, it doesn't still makes it distilled water. Maybe ur prof know dat d ions and minerals it contains won't interfere with the experiment u are carrying out dat was why he asked u to use it.

Distilled water remains any water gotten after d condensation of water vapour. Jst like someone else said earlier, water from A/c is distilled

Seun this guy just register 2016 and he had the gut to insult an old timer like me. He deserves suspension for justice to reign and i demand an apology from him.

Who is now the scammer? A man that joined since 6years ago or a boy that joined just this year with no contribution to the forum.

....
I actually wanted to come at you for the comment above but after reading your comments abt getting a new battery thru a nairalander, I forgive you.
However, i wouldnt have said differently the scenario repeated itself cos the experience we have had so far with people asking for help on here shows that most were scammers in the end...

NOTE: you're free to check my first nairaland profile @alenkakent which was banned for posting advert comments on FP topic...

I will rather beg than to scam. I came from a good home. Assume you said the beggar may be a scammer, I wouldn't ve responded to you. But your statement was direct and capable of tarnishing my hard earned reputation. I joined nairaland since 2010 and never have they banned me for once. My profile hasn't changed. I am not boasting. I once posted my experience with my agent who rented my 3bedroom in lagos and ate the money. I had to lock him up at area g ogba and he refunded some. Like I stated in my post what I ve is a temporal problem and shouldn't warrant any one insulting me. Next time try to investigate people b4 calling them scammer. I swear to you if I see u face to face I will make u prove ur allegation against me. I ve to forgive u cos activities of idiot like u didnot stop well meaning people that ve respect for human dignity to help real people. Kudos to siena and gazzuzz.

You re a very confused empty barel. You were asking the guy that posted the topic to go buy new battery as if everyone is rich nowadays. When you were asked to help u now insulted the person asking u. Like I ve said don't come here to exhibit ur ignorance. Keep quiet if you ve nothing to contribute. They man that did it for me never insulted me.

My Man this ur outburst does not really show maturity. I thought you should have gotten over the whole issue by now. Most importantly after getting a brand new battery from an unknown guy I believe you have never met in ur life. I don't think they will be happy reading ur recent posts and rants....well it's none of my business.

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?

Bros how far naa? we have been expecting to hear from you.

I had stated before am currently at work in the field for two weeks, though my shift will soon be finished (hopefully there will be no emergency to delay me here) when am back, i will commence the process of attempting to de-sulfate my battery plates.

If the electrolyte has been replaced and the battery is failing then its time to replace it.

Batteries can be revived but its a technical skill, it goes way beyond Epsom salts.

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. [/quote

To cleanse my radiator, strong diluted bleach stays over night, wipes away crust and dirt. It could do same for your battery.

Millitary and Guerilla engineering are far apart from what are taught in varsity class room.
For instance mechanic will tell you that your radiator is dirt, and it needs washing, but you can simply pour a bottle of bleach, soaked overnight, drain thoroughly with water, you have gotten your self a new radiator, brush out surface debris. Kpam
