Thanks for opinions!

Battery tested at 16V.
Added 1lb epsom salts + 1/2gal. distilled water.....Voltage went to 18V.
Charged with desulfator(115v AC to 1/2amp DC Capacitor)...battery went to 20V.
Big charger then recognized battery and pumped it up to 24V.

Hardly any POWER (amp/hr) in battery however. Needs more powerful desulfator with 50MFD capacitor instead of 10. Will not give up.

Reason for first question: Folks are taking the electric motors out of forklifts and putting them in electric cars with monster (marine)battery banks and going 50mph.

Fact of the week
The use of "hello" as a telephone greeting is attributed to Thomas Edison. He is said to have suggested it as a simpler alternative to other greetings, such as "Do I get you?" or "Are you there?".
