I have a nicad wet cell batery of 24 cells which has been stored empty with the output shunted for years. These are valuable and I don,t want discard.

I know that the electrolyte is aprox 70% water and the rest potasium hydroxide.
But I also know that is a percentage of lithium hydroxide to help preserve the posi
tive plates. This latter is my problem. I know that specefic brands have their own formulas, and are hesitent to comment with out knowining what I have.

I am onlly looking for an aproximation. I am now thinking of between % and 8 percent lithium hydroxide. If I damagen these cells , I am no wores off.

I have the reageant grade chems and am aware of mixing and safe handleing.

Would love any help.
