Why doesn't someone make a rebuildable auto battery? New plates and new insulators? Drop them all into a hard plastic case dry and bolt them up. Fill and charge....Leads still pretty cheap @ 3/lb in ingot. Maybe after all said and done its impossible to ship ie. hazmat or some other BS. We have huge Lead Acid batteries at the phone offices that last for decades. Seems the reconditioned batteries are only old batteries that are cleaned externally, checked for opens or shorts and recharged. Maybe fluid changed out but you cant get the hard sulfate out unless you disassemble... ?
