Sulfation occurs most rapidly when a battery is left in a low-charge condition for extended time. Sulfation appears to be the primary cause of natural mortality in lead-acid batteries.<br /> <br /> There is an electrical process which can substantially reverse sulfation, though it is not clear how completely it can do so. It can, nonetheless, restore an otherwise &quot;dead&quot; battery to useful life, and there are both inexpensive commerical devices and publicly-available circuit diagrams for accomplishing this.<br /> * [http://www.instructables.com/id/Desulfator-for-12V-Car-Batteries-in-an-Altoids-Ti/ Desulfator for 12V Car Batteries, in an Altoids Tin]: circuit and project plan<br /> * [http://www.autozone.com/autozone/accessories?itemIdentifier=58755_0_0_ Schumacher 75/20/10/2 Amp Car Battery Charger]: battery charger with desulfation capability<br /> ==Links==<br /> * {{wikipedia|Lead–acid battery}}</div>
