Don't try it with one of the newer chargers that electronically control the charge rate, they don't output power until they sense the power in the battery to be charged. (I wonder if they won't charge a DEAD battery for that reason?)

Hi Steve ,,,,,,,,,, any Alkali or Alkaline salt will do the job .Sodium Bicarbonate and Sodium Carbonate are both Alkaline .Sodium Carbonate being more Alkaline than Sodium Bicarbonate .

Yep ,,,,,,, the newer electronic battery charger are a pain in the butt , the battery needs to have at least some voltage for the charger electronics to register that it is actually connected to a battery before it will charge , older chargers were fitted with an over discharge button so you could charge a dead flat battery .


Finished waffling now Rob
