What the heck is "an experienced motorist"? Isn't that just about everybody? LOL. I had heard of using Coke to clean the top of the battery, but the engineer suggests just baking soda, so in the future I'll use that. Good tip too for charging a dead battery.
When I was starting out I apprenticed w/ a guy whose ww2 job was to keep the lights on in bombers over Japan. We dumped dead batteries, flushed with water,put in baking soda & water& flushed again. Refilled w/ electrolyte & they worked. We would cut them open to see the types of damage. Coca Cola we used to clean up lg oil spills on concrete floors
