<div dir="ltr">Richard , if I had a good battery that had NO internal shorts in it , I would use the epson salt treatment . It has always been my experience to dump and flush the battery before using the epson salt , when possible . My forklift battery weighs 1750 lbs so could not dump and flush but the treatment worked .</div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sat, Mar 9, 2019 at 11:05 PM Richard Walker <<a href="mailto:richardwalker@pobox.com">richardwalker@pobox.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

hooked to a totally discharged battery. </font></font></font></p>
