Haha. Nature keeps you locked down then..
In time you will be able to get some alum and test.
I will try to build a battery from scrap and use 7 cells instead of 6. Or even an alternate setup i will disclose if it works.

Re: Alum battery (convert lead acid)
When charging and discharging, it pushes the water out and sucks the water back in the crystals. So yes, there might be occurring some shaping there. who knows. When forming just with alum, the standing voltage is a little lower. When it had acid in there before and formed with acid, it seems to hav...

Re: Alum battery (convert lead acid)
Techman, your correct. You can really abuse the batery's with alum. Run them down to 0 volts without harm. You can't (almost) overcharge them. They handle a lot ! And the lead wont get eaten bye acid like in normal lead acid battery's so the lifespan is tremendous !. Using a charger like bedini styl...

Re: How to desulfate lead acid batteries for free
Hi, Techman ! I build a charger myself, that works like bedini does, with the radiant spikes, but also uses the common inputted power. This way you will be able to restore more battery's then the bedini circuit can. Also it charges battery's wayyyyyyy faster and with more power. It is even tunable a...

Alum battery (convert lead acid)
Hi, John bedini, created alum battery's by converting old lead acid batterys. I did the same and it works great. Take an old battery. Make sure the cells aren't shorted out. Rinse them out with deminerelised water. (boil it before putting it in the cell. This will help desolve the sulphates on the p...
