I found this interesting article which about why it is possible to restore a dead car battery back to working condition, enough to crank your car again. While some people might find this article out of sense, but you better give it a try because I did and I know it worked (Original link http://www.instructables.com/id/Simple-Trick-to-Get-Your-Batteries-Back-to-Life-Ag/).
You really can recondition auto batteries back to new condition and spare yourself a great deal of cash contrasted with purchasing new ones. This includes an exceptionally modest material called Epson Salt alongside refined water. Not tap water or filtered water.
You should utilize refined water to dodge mineral stores developing on the lead inside the battery. Warm 16 ounces of refined water to around 150° and disintegrate roughly 8 ounces of the Epson salts in the water. This is easy and free method that everyone can use.
Actually better way to recondition all types of batteries is: The Reconditioning Battery Program is a simple program that anyone can learn and use it to save money or potentially even help of friends and family as a result of the knowledge and experience that they gain.
The program teaches individuals to collect up all the dead batteries from their home as well as from people in her neighborhood, friends and family and reuse them so that they may never have to buy batteries ever again.
This program is truly saving people money and because they're able to actually bring batteries back to life again without the need for going to the store and buying an entirely new pack of batteries, they are getting more uses out of their electronic devices and enjoying a greater quality of life as a result.
Some people argued that, Epsom salt is a magnesium salt and will destroy the battery in no time at all. Sure you get a nice boost from the removal of sulfate build up but the acidity will be ruined and the electrolyte useless.
Some people disagree with this idea saying the only way to restore a old lead acid battery goes like this:
Bases on the size of a standard car battery you add 5ml of Phosphoric acid (rust remover is usually phosphoric acid but double check the label) per cell and then fill the cell with destilled water - no tap water, rain water or demineralised water.
The phosphoric acid will remove the sulfate build up by a chemical process that turns the phosphoric acid into a salt plus a bit of water.
For smaller batteries you 5ml while for truck or 4WD batteries you use more - or repeat the process after the next step:
Once all cells are filled up the battery needs to be charged for about 3 days. Best to use a modern trickle charger or at least something with proper electronics to prevent overcharging and gassing. During the charging the sulfate on the battery plates is converted back to lead, so without charging it will take a long time in your car to do the same.
Please keep in mind that this only works on physically fine batteries!! Use a flashlight and if you can see bulged plates, debris on the bottom or even holes in your plates then discard the battery.
Exercise extreme caution with this tip! Salt and water creates a medium for the electrons to travel across but the by products are volatile.
Hydrogen and chlorine gases will form. This is a great survival tip but I would advise against using it in your car unless you could care less if it's damaged! Hydrogen is extremely combustible and chlorine gases will affect your nervous system. Haha...
Generally if you have 10+ volts available a long duration trickle charge would bring your battery back to life. If not then you have a dead cell.
