WARNING!!!!!! Karl said that you might recover 1 out of 100. I can tell you that you will blow up 70 of that 100. When a battery freezes, the fluid freezes solid. This crushes the dielectric separator plates and the lead plates short through it. This causes an immediate dead short but with the fluid frozen the battery discharges and fluid being frozen puts off no hydrogen gas. Now you warm that up where the fluid is now active and the hydrogen gas level goes. crazy, stupid high. Your plates are SHORTED and you connect electricity to them. Spark, high concentration of hydrogen gas = BOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!!!! What's the prudent thing to do? Set the old battery out by it's self, bite the bullet and buy a new battery. I would hate to see any of my fellow tractor nuts get hurt over a few dollars for a new battery. Hell, If you cant afford a battery right now, jump it off and run it without. But for Gods sake don't risk your life and limbs over a Damn battery. Please be careful. That acid can blind you, burn you, seriously injure you. And if its in the barn it can catch fire and then what have you lost? Please don't do it. Most sincerely, LarryT
