homemade lead acid battery
Hi all!
Ok I am on a mission! I have started a lead acid battery project. What i have done so far..
1) Made a plate mold, poured my own plates out of pure leads. (mold needs redesigned)
2) used 3 pos and 3 neg plates. made a single 2.2v cell.
3) charged with a 4.5v 350ma transformer to 3v and reversed polarity 3 times, in "used" acid sg 1.120.
4) washed in distilled water and placed in new acid, sg 1.265
Pos plates turned a dark red/rust color... Is that normal?
What else do i need to do to this to start getting a usable cell out of it?
OH YEA, if anyone has success stories on homemade lead acid batteries I am all EARS!
