Never under any circumstances should you let the acid from inside the battery touch any part of your body. It will eat through skin and clothing as it is H2SO4 (sulfuric acid).Add an equal amount of the MgSO4/H2O solution into each reservoir of the battery until you have used up about 1/2 quart of the warm liquid.Reinstall battery into car and try to start it.If it won't start, try jumping it or charging it with a battery charger, but this is not likely needed as all you are doing is removing the sulfate coating on the metal plates in the battery's cell.This method doesn't always work but if it does, it will not work more than 3-5 times so protect the charge on your battery and never let it go dead.I just tried this method on my car 1 hour ago and it worked like a charm!Good Luck!

Lead acid battery epsom salts?

I have of course read much about the item of reconditioning acid lead battery by Epsom salt. My car battery was on its way of becoming bad (no longer able to attain a good specific gravity of the acid solution through charging it at home). During last charging despite using the max. current and time a sp. g. higher than 1.235 could not be attained. After adding about 15 ml of powder (dissolved in about 25 ml warm distilled water) to each cell I could bring the sp. g. to over 1.275. This fantastic rise I could never achieve before . I conclude that Epsom salt not only can be used to revive a dead acid lead battery but also prophylactically to maintain the battery in good condition and prevent its deterioration. I must also add that I by now do not know the prognosis of this practice on the long run. I was just struck by its ability to improve the battery condition so much! It is a marvellous agent.
