desulfating

Clearing battery crystal deposits

Desulfating is the process of removing sulfate buildup from lead-acid batteries.

Over time, lead sulfate crystals accumulate on battery plates, reducing capacity and performance.

Desulfating reverses this through specialized chargers or chemical treatments: The mechanic recommended desulfating the old car battery before replacing it.
