Getting ready to replace my four -six volt Trojan 105s that I bought about eight years ago. They  have served me well but now are not holding a charge above a 12.1 -12.2 resting state voltage meter measured level. I suspect they suffer from sulfhanation and when charged are only getting a superficial charge due to crud on the plates. I know there's a technique to desulphanate and equalize but I am not inclined to attempt that. I will test each cell with a hydrometer.
I did however stumble upon this on the Internet and found it enticing but most likely nonsense.
Any thoughts ?
