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.
