I just saw a magazine called "Home Power", with an article about
sulphated lead acid cells. They claim you can rejuvenate them by
putting a few teaspoons of EDTA in. Does this seem reasonable,
or just hippie-dippie mumble jumble?

It would be good to reduce the amount of lead thrown away or leaked
into the environment. (anyone see "Global Dumping Ground" on PBS?)
