If it works, we'll ALL be happy campers! Keep me posted with your results.

I just found out about a new type of battery charger called the
BatteryMinder that will (it is claimed) rejuvenate Lead/Acid batteries
that are dead due to sulphating. A friend of mine used one on a battery
that had been totally discharged for too long, and was able to recover
it. He sent me a 12v one and I am looking around for some batteries to
try it out ... like a couple of dozen Sharp PC-5000 lead/acid batteries
:). If this works on *old* lead acid batteries, I will be one happy
camper :)!
If anyone is curious, their web site is at:

The batteries in the PP and PP+ are a pain. They're lead acid and they
are individual cylinders. So if you let them run down for very long, it
will ruin them and they're not an easy style to find. IIRC they're X size
which is slightly larger than standard D size.
