I'm really not interested in trying to rejuvenate scrap batteries. With the present price of new batteries going sky high, and the labor of replacement, I'd just like to squeeze as much life as possible out of my present set consisting of 75 350AH 2 volt cells.

I appreciate your problem. I am not sure I would risk adding some brew to good batteries without knowing someone who has proved it to be effective. If you were in trouble then there would be less to risk.

Decent 2v cells normally have a long life but I have come across batches from two different manufacturers that had early failure from corrosion of the positive link bars, no doubt due to some change in the manufacturing process.
