Shared Vanagon Dictionary

• Sulfated

  Describes a lead-acid battery affected by persistent lead-sulfate deposits on its plates. Gerry’s FAQ associates this condition with prolonged discharged storage and reduced serviceability. This is different from corrosion visible on external terminals, and the label alone does not establish that a battery can be restored.

• Sulfated ash

  The amount of solid residue left after an oil is burned.
