Battery Help Needed

I remember trying to get some from a wholesaler but the quantities I'd
have to buy it in were huge. Relatively speaking.

As you only need a teaspoon per cell for a normal car battery it was
impractical to buy in those quantities.

I bought about 250g 7 or 8 years ago, I've still got most of it and
plenty of duff bike batteries have been rescued in the mean time.

 

It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the

Heh. Same here - a kilo bag was kicking around for ages and never seemed
to go down even though several batteries had been brought back from the

Thanks to all who replied. Have deduced that the reg / rec unit is not

Hopefully I'll get another reg/rec today.

Oi! You're not a real chemist - you've made that quite clear on
numerous occasions.

But your explanation will do very nicely, TYVM.
