I use Schumacher from ww. Just general purpose 10A auto and manual functions.
I had a friend that rejuvenated old batteries for used car lots. I bought several from him and they worked as well as anything else.
He said that what kills them is the sulphate in the bottom falls off the plates as scale, over time, and when the pile gets high enough it shorts out the plates.
He would wash them out with a pressure hose, refill with acid and charge them up. NOW THE ACTION PART.
He was an (out of work at the time) EE so he was no novice to electricity. His charging method was wholesale in that he would get a string of them and with a diode in series to generate DC, he would hook that string across a raw 115 volt line. Well most folks know that charging batteries generates a very violatile Hydrogen gas.
On one occasion he said he had been charging a string for several hours in his charging room and in doing what ever he was doing (I forgot) he accidentally knocked off one of the clips on a battery. BOOM!!!!! He said the only thing that saved his eyes were his spectacles. The rest of his face and neck got a good burning.
