Also making lead acid batteries..just like this shop floor and the battery looks brand new from auto barn...

I was going to make some batteries but have yet to do so...but by building them I worked out I could save $10 k on a big set for the house...you use lead flashing and epsom salts...but again I was slack and bought some, for my ex and daughter because mainly they did not think my batteries would be any good..AND I just bought some for the observatory about $2,500 I think.. plus solar panels ...again just throwing it around just because I can say I am too crook...

Hi Alex,

Coincidentally I watched a very interesting battery making/rejuvenation video a while back.....

I love it at around 2:45 when he starts adding molten lead tabs to the electrode plates and then trims them off by chopping them off with a spoon in one swift motion. Skill and experience personified

Best
