Topping-up water in a sealed battery

[B21]

sounds like a loser attitude you guys have. to just give up and fork out cash. when you could follow My advice, and if everyone did that, we'd only need to manufacture a fraction of the number of batteries we currently do. prove Me wrong, using science. oh yeah... you cant !

FWIW your idea of Hydrochloric acid is a load of old bollocks..it replaces a suphated plate set with a cloride-ed plate set that is equally or even worse as a solution..(pun) :thumbsdown:

That's science..and a fact... :thumbsup:

maybe .. it's possible, or also possible that the lead chloride particles fall away from the electrodes as they form. I might try cycles of HCl washing and flushing with water, then put plain acid in there. that would give something resembling a new battery

hey it only charges up to 12.2V although it's enough to get the engine up and running most of the time, but it's still unrealiable

I'm assuming you can guess that the car is loud since the muffler has been deleted ?

Well that's a positive, still not sure your saving much but at least its a fun experiment.

I didn't see the back box delete but I was using the word Loud in the British english sense to mean something with very bold colours and strong patterns that demands attention. Apparently it can be a positive and negative thing depending on how it is said.

ah yes I'm in AU and we use ' loud ' the same way here

Most z4 owners wouldn't even be able to replace an air filter, it's completely unnecessary to argue about things that require more serious knowledge.
