   Yes. I see your point. I would just try the epson salt method, and see   
   if your battery is restored. It will at least clean out your old   
   battery. I don't see how a electric desulfication will work at all. You   
   are trying to remove build up from a chemical reaction.   
      
   After the 3 day trickle charge, drain the battery down, drain the   
   liquids, then add the recommend amount of battery acid and distilled   
   water. You can then do another 3 day 2 amp trickle charge.
