On large battery packs etc I understand but if EDTA removes the sulfate from the plates and drops it to the bottom, what difference is desulfating using a desulfinator and using EDTA, emptying the battrey and adding new electroloyte which will replace the sulphate in the solution? Am I missing something obvious here eg EDTA is taking the plate material with it or something? Thanks Peter

When one replaces the electrolyte it is usually with sulfuric acid, so one does not restore the lead sulfate by this route. Pulsing is then the only route whereby the lead sulfate is restored to solution Last Edited By: Andy Shiekh Feb 27 09 10:30 PM. Edited 1 times.
