Aloha, I bought a military generator and it had a dead 24v batt. I tried to charge it but it would only charge to 12v. I read an article somewhere to add an ounce of hydrogen peroxide to each cell so I drained the old acid and replaced it with new acid. I also added an ounce of hydrogen peroxide to each cell and it started to bubble a little and I left it like that overnight. The next day I hooked it up to my 24v charger and charged it for an hour. I measured the voltage and it came up to around 25+ volts because I didn't let it sit for an hour. I put the charger back on and charged it for about another 2 hrs and then took it off. I measured the voltage the next day and it was about 24.5v or so. It worked for me but I also read that it will not work for all dead batteries. Mahalo, doogdoog
