I had a fishing friend stop at the shop this morning. Looking over my EV he asked how the batteries were holding up.
I told him I was thinking of trying some Wal-Mart batteries soon.
He said he had had very good luck with their deep cycle batteries and that warranty was not a problem.
He also told me of an older fisherman that has used the same deep cycle batteries for over 5 years. He atributed the long use, to putting an aspirin in each cell, every spring.
Anyone ever heard of this??
I am testing it in a lesser of one of my batteries. So far no change either way.
Probably not much different that the old VX-6 or whatever, we used to try on car batteries back in the '50s.
I have been having a little luck with a desulfater I got from eBay . The oldest battery I restored so far is a motorcycle battery . Probably bought it in 1998 or 1999 . The tags expired in Oct. 2000 and I'm sure it was not new then . J.W.
Hi All;
I used that trick many years ago, got it from an old Farmer-mechanic, and it worked for me, but for now because of what I paid for my 6 Volt batteries, I am Not going to use it for now, IF I get alot of failures or IF interstate won't keep up their warrantty, then I would re-consider....
THANK YOU Marty
I just started to restore an old lawn mower battery I have that I forgot about . It's up to about 1225 already . J.W.
