Has any one tried this ?

Complete the Desulfation Process
1
Measure 7 to 8 oz. of Epsom salts. Heat 1/2 quart of distilled water to 150 degrees Fahrenheit. Test the boiling temperature using your thermometer. Pour the Epsom salt into the hot water and let it dissolve.

2
Put on your gloves and goggles again if you removed them. Remove the caps on the battery cells. If the battery is sealed such that you can't see the battery cells, locate the "shadow plugs" that cover the battery cells. The shadow plugs are drawn onto the battery compartment itself. Slowly drill through the outline for each shadow plug until you can see the cells.

3
Drain any remaining battery fluid into the bucket. Neutralize the fluid by pouring baking soda into the fluid. Dispose of the neutralized acid by pouring it down a drain. Turn on the water and slowly pour the neutralized acid down an inside or outside drain. This procedure is safe, as you've neutralized the fluid with the baking soda.

4
Use plastic funnels to pour Epsom salt into each battery cell until the cells are filled with salt. Replace the battery caps on the battery. If you drilled holes into a sealed battery, you must plug plastic plugs into those holes. Gently shake the battery to ensure that the Epsom salt is well distributed.

5
Read the instructions for your individual battery charger. Each charger works differently. Charge the battery by connecting the positive --- "+" or "POS" --- cable to the positive terminal; then attach the negative cable to the negative terminal. Charge the battery according to your battery charger user instructions. Select the correct "VOLT/AMP" setting on your charger. The battery is desulfated after the charge is complete.

Thought about it last year and read lots of info and a ton of you-tubes, then I decided to buy a new battery and eliminate the possibility of something going wrong.

If it looks too good to be true, then it probably is........

Pretty sure it is illegal to pour acid (even with baking soda added) down the drain, not very environmentally friendly,,
As for the last step of plugging the holes, you r looking for a chemical reaction to happen, and u r going to seal it in,
If u know any 10 year olds u may want to get their opinion on how safe this is,
Stop trying to give value to darwins theory and buy a proper battery, if not for u, for the rest of your family, explaining family tragedys like this R always hardest on the survivors
