Re: [EVDL] FLA bad cell question

I personally wouldn't try it, but that's me. IMO the only cure for a depreciated battery is replacement. Over the years of reading the web and Home Power, I've read various tricks for trying to extend lead batteries' life. I suppose that whether you find these hacks useful depends in part on

Re: [EVDL] FLA bad cell question

My experience with a shorted cell in a battery has been spotty. The short is not very reliable, for example a good bump of the battery can (and has) removed the short between the plates and allow it to work normally until the plates returned to original position or the short grew a bit longer and s
