RE: Equalization

OK, this little project is done for now.* According to the hydrometer I have achieved significant improvements.* I'm still a little foggy on how all this really works but it appears that I have moved my available capacity from something like 25% to around 85%.* At least based on the SG readings.* So, if there is that much more acid in the cells I have to guess it came from breaking down the sulfates & restoring lead dioxide; seems the process worked as advertised.*

According to Calder there are a couple simple load and capacity tests I can run to see if I really have anything.* I'll try to get to them this weekend.
