Desulfating Baby Batteries
Originally uploaded by mikeysklar
This is a 12V @ 8Ah lead-acid battery from a old scooter of mine. This battery hasn't been charged in nearly three years and had a voltage reading of 4.9V. I started desulfating it today and watched it hop up to 15V and slowly drop down as it charged. I'm just using a 12V @ .5A wall wart with a small desulfator unit. The nice thing about little batteries like these is that they should be done desulfating within 4 days. I'm going to watch this one closely because it would be very easy to overcharge it and pop the internal cells.

Thanks for demoing the process on a small SLA battery Mikey.
