Re: CS>Adding C S to a automobile battery !I started to reply to this several
days ago but got side-tracked. With all the emphasis on purity on the silver
list, why would anyone want to adulterate the electrolyte in a battery!! The
original sulphuric acid was diluted with distilled water to the exact specific
gravity and evaporative losses are replenished with distilled water. In
emergencies tap water can be used to top off low cells, but this will reduce
battery life!!
You might as well resort to the old highway service station scam of offering to
check your battery and adding a solution of baking soda to each low cell
thereby killing the battery and ensuring that you could then sell a new battery
at a handsome profit!!

Has anybody out there tried adding C S to there autobattery?
Would it cut down on sulfation/corrosion etc?
I was checking the fluild level in my battery the other day
& the thought crossed my mind.

I can't see any reason why it should;
causing shorting between the plates
I can see happening -- not a good idea.
Also it probably void the warranty if
it could be detected.
