I just traded for a Farmall H which came with a battery that doesn't seem to hold a charge, but maybe I'm not doing it right. I have the battery off the tractor and I put it on a 10 amp charger. After half an hour it will charge up to 12.3-12.4 and I take the charger off. Within two hours the battery will have dropped to 12.0 and overnight it will drop into the upper 11s. It seems like each time I charge it it discharges slightly less, so I am wondering if I should keep charging it every day in the hope that it will come back or if it is a lost cause. A fellow told me a way to fix batteries by taking off the top, dumping the acid in a bucket, rinsing the inside of the battery with water a few times, pouring in half a cup of bleach and leaving it outside while the chlorine gas escapes, dumping the bleach and rinsing a few more times and refilling with acid. I have never heard of this before and a little nervous to try it, so I am wondering if anyone else has done it, and if it worked. I may just need to buy a new battery, and if I do I that's okay too. Thank you very much. Zach
