A look at combining Magnesium Sulfate and "forced overcharge" (equalization) to desulfate 12 volt lead acid batteries such as car batteries.

I quickly go over the process and explain some of the theory behind desulfation via MgSO4 (magnesium sulfate) and Na2SO4 (sodium sulfate). The YIHUA YH-605D power supply is used for the battery charging.

As mentioned in the video, please wear face protection & exercise caution when working with lead acid batteries. They can explode!

Links to Google's free copies of "The Telegraphic Journal and Electrical Review" from 1886-1887 mentioned in the video are as follows (volumes 19 and 20):
