Greetings!
Calling all experts in Alum Battery Conversions!
I have a few questions that I would like to put out there. Thanks in advance for any tips!!
1. If I take a 12V 250Ah Lead Acid Flooded Cell Battery, dump out the acid, rinse it out, and fill with a solution of distilled water and alum till it has a slippery quality to it and charge it up fully will I get 250 Amp Hours out?
2. I realize that the voltage will be different. Does anyone know the finishing voltage of a lead alum battery? as well as the resting voltage and voltage under a 1A load ?
3. Let's say the plates of this battery are quite sulfated. What would happen to the sulfate on the plates if it was on a pulse or radiant charge? I know the plates would desulfate but how does this look chemically with the alum?
4. Wondering if this is a feasible idea...Let's say I manage to acquire a bank of 6, 12V 250 AH batteries from a solar setup. If I converted all of them to alum would it be possible to design an inverter that could still out put 120V but work at the different voltage characteristics of an alum battery?
P.S. sorry about the misspelled title
Thanks!
Joe
