why do we need to mix up the acid inside the battery? how do you know
it stratifies, in spite of thermal and chemical diffusion? perhaps
"equalization" does something else, like bringing every battery in
a string up to the same state of charge, or making their internal
resistances more equal by smoothing their plate surfaces...
still wondering if discharges produce hydrogen. that doesn't sound like
"symple hydrolisis" to me. maybe warming electrolyte gives up dissolved
oxygen. the paper cup test sounds easy enough to me. scientists did this
sort of thing hundreds of years ago, but it seems beyond our homepower
cargo cult.
