EDTA ( Ethylenediaminetetraaceticacid-tetrasodium salt ) is used to dissolve sulfate deposits from lead acid batteries. The net effect is to lower the cost of battery based electricity by recovering otherwise unuseable batteries thus preventing the purchase of new batteries.
The EDTA is a dry powder. Use one tablespoon per cell for golf cart batteries such as a Trojan T-105 type battery and twice as much for larger batteries. The EDTA must first be dissolved in water before adding it to the battery. EDTA does not dissolve in battery acid, but will mix with battery acid if it is first dissolved in water. There are approx. 40 tablespoons in one pound of EDTA.
EDTA FOR DESULFATING LEAD ACID BATTERIES
This information is intended to help our customers use the EDTA supplied by Trailhead Supply and to clear up any confusion about how to dissolve it.
1. Our EDTA is the tetrasodium salt version which is the only form of EDTA reported on in Home Power Magazine.
2. EDTA dissolves easily in water but does not dissolve in battery acid. Do not add the dry powder EDTA directly to a battery cell - it will not dissolve in the acid.
3. To the best of our knowlege, everything that is known about EDTA for battery rejuvination appears in the following Home Power articles. HP # 20, pg. 23, HP #21, pg. 36, HP #29, pg. 44, HP #55, pg. 108, HP #52, pg.78 HP #58, pg. 63 HP #68, pg. 114. We highly recommend that you carefully read these articles so that you will know as much as possible about how to use EDTA and what to expect.
4. In general, the instructions are to use one tablespoon of EDTA per quart of electrolyte capacity of the cell to be treated. If you don't know the capacity of your cells, then use one tablespoon per cell for industrial deep cycle batteries such as a Trojan T-105 or golf cart batteries and two tablespoons per cell for larger batteries.
Mix the EDTA with one to two ounces of distilled water per tablespoon of EDTA. Add this mixture to the battery cells in the amounts indicated above.
5. Charging the battery after the EDTA treatment helps.
6. It may take as long as a month for the full effect of the treatment to become apparent. Go ahead and use the battery in normal opperation.
7. The amount of EDTA needed to clean a battery depends on how heavily sulfated it is. If your battery is heavily sulfated or has very low capacity or does not fully recover after one treatment, the battery may need a second treatment. Some have needed as many as three.
8. Since this EDTA treatment has the potential to lower the cost of batteries and encorage the use of renewable energy, please share your results with Home Power magazine in hopes of increasing our understanding of this technology.
Ordering is easy. Just send a note listing what you want and include your check or money order for the total amount including shipping. Your order will be sent promptly by Priority Mail.
