The money you try to save on battry by dumping, washing, and installing new acid will be more than taken up with the clothes destroyed along with the damage to the sink or work area.

And it probably won't do any good. If 2 amp for 48 hours doesn't charge the battery about 2/3, its either sulfated from being left set discharged or being left discharged has pushed most of the active material off the plates to make the sludge you would have washed out, or plates have broken off the connecting bars in some cells.

In the really old days, batteries were rebuildable, but that is no more. An old battery has some trade in value. Shop around, you will make more money shopping than you will trying to restore a gone battery. You battery has value only as raw materials for making a new battery, it can't be restored.
