The steps are simple – anyone can do them!
- Remove the battery cell covers and drain all old battery acid.
- Neutralize any remaining acid in the battery cells by pouring a mixture of 8 oz. baking soda to 1 gallon of water into each cell container.
- Drain the baking soda solution and repeat step TWO to further neutralize any acid remaining in the cells.
- Rinse the baking soda solution from the battery with straight water.
- Concoct a solution of 8 oz alum (aluminum sulfate) with 1 gallon of water. Pour evenly into the battery cells, just above the plates. Replace cell covers.
- Charge for 24 hours with a basic 3-amp charger
