Experts please help me. I need answers from experience, no google searched answers please.
I have 4 trojan batteries (6 volts each). Now after EDTA treatments and 4 yrs in use, 2 of the batteries lose a lot of water and the last 2 times, they were practically empty. I usually give the EDTA treatments and they jump back to life. It seems they are not holding up charge well and the water keeps getting low. The connectors get all oxidized.
This is my master plan:
I am thinking about giving it a complete reconditioning job. I would like to change the water and clean out all the gunk that has build up inside. Then I would like to replace the right quantity of acid : water ratio and probably give it another serious EDTA clean up job.
So the questionas are as follow:
Where can I get the acid in santiago? My guess would be ferreteria.
How much is the ratio of acid to water?
Where can I buy EDTA in santiago? last time it was sent to me from SD and this contact is very slow to respond now. In fact he has forgotten where he bought it in the first place. I need it today in santiago.
Now if any of your good folks have experimented this job before, please inform me to cons and pros. I need to know if I am going in the right direction or am I about to damage my batteries forever?
Thanks in advance.
