If you are not already aware of it, you might be interested to know that
there is an article or two on the web which indicate that sulfated
lead/acid batteries can be rejuvenated with EDTA. Yes, the same
chemical that is used for chelation of heavy metals in people.
I don't remember the precise details but I remember that it can be quite
effective although a messy process. Bulk EDTA is available for a very
low price. (I don't know if this is pure enough to use in people, but
was fine for the batteries.)

Can ordinary lead batteries be rebuilt? I do not mean on a commercially
viable basis, but can they be rebuilt so they will work again?
The batteries, other than freak lightening damage, are the limiting factor
in my solar system. My controller is rated to last longer than I will, and
the only relay in it turns off at night, or twice a day, and is rated for
more cycles than I am.
If this is possible, is there a source where I can learn what materials and
tools I will need to do it.
In the same vein, are there batteries designed to be rebuilt. I have heard
of those having glass cases, and plate supports and terminals that may be
lifted off.
TIA,
Jim
