Batt revival

maybe you could put them in rice, take the ash cap off with a nail cleaner on a nail clipper and put that end right in rice, the starch will suck out the water....you could always try that....

Looks like you ladies got this......

I think the odds are 50/50....which ain't bad

My battery (the one that couldn't swim) no longer works. For a little while, it worked intermittantly, but
now I can't get it to work at all. Sob! Just thought I would update you.

Where do you get 99% alcohol? i got some auto batteries i'd like to try to revive. I know that got juice in them from my overzealous attempts to refill my cartos. Thanks!

I've had it for a while. I may have purchased it at Fry's but you can get it from Amazon. Amazon.com: ALCOHOL 99% ISOPROPYL PINT: Health & Personal Care

Here's one on Amazon with free shipping but it's only 4.2 oz. I think this is the brand I have but mine is, or I should say was, in a 32 oz bottle. I need to get some more. Amazon.com: MG Chemicals 824-100ML 99.953% Pure Anhydrous Isopropyl Cleaning Alcohol - 4.2 Oz: Electronics

Here's a liter bottle on Amazon; free shipping. Amazon.com: MG Chemicals 824-1L Isopropyl Alcohol 1-Liter Bottle: Electronics

You can do a search for electronics alcohol on Google or alcohol in the electronics section of Amazon.

I don't know if Best buy or electronics depts of big box stores have it but they might. I usually take internet shopping over going in to store to search unless I know the store has the item I want. Just takes too much time and I rarely get off the ranch.
