I read about something in the last 5 years which was being used on lead acid batteries as well, IIRC apparently there is a way to strip the plates using either electrolysis or chemical and electrolysis. (reverse the polarity or something) I know that lead is used in some type of plating process so there may be a way to remove the outermost layer of lead oxide? to expose fresh lead?
Just guessing here... I am in no means a chemical or electrical engineer.

I but a Braille battery inside mine. Works great. I was warned that the Braille batteries do not hold a charge long term. My experience has been just the opposite. I have two. I had one set in the car for 6 months without driving it or charging it. I put my battery tender on it, and it was fully charged within an hour. If I let my lead acid batteries sit even 30 days, it takes 12 - 24 hours to fully charge.

James,
You are probably thinking of this: https://www.pulsetech.net/our-techno...echnology.html
It works. I've saved several batteries that couldn't even hold a charge. Won't fix them all, but will many.

Back in the day we used to use the Delco Eye cap and just hit it with palm of your hand and knock the plugs in,

I will second your point Kurt. These chargers are the chit! I've had batteries last 10 years with this technology. We used to handle these at NAPA years ago. If I remember correctly, this was developed for the military or by the military.

Either way, they extend the life of a battery and can revive them as well.

$740.00 sounds like a lot - but I have spent 5x that much on batteries the last few years.
Thanks for the link!
I think I'll order one.

There are models way cheaper than that.

I ordered the new reproduction battery R89 from battery central Mall.
Bothers me to be using it in my 30K mile survivor Z28 but still gives the appearance I like. Hey if after 50 years the battery is the only reproduction part under the hood, Iam happy with that. If Anyone would like to view my car google MCACN 2018 the mike wheatley Z28. Love this car and after 50 years it still runs and drives unbelievable.
