While it may be possible to reverse the reaction in a lead acid battery using chemicals it is not a wise thing to do. You would have to open the case of the battery which is very dangerous. Car batteries build up internal pressure, and attempting to pry one open will result in sulfuric acid being sprayed out onto the unlucky individual with the pry bar in hand.
Your best bet (if you need do do so at all) is use something like this: http://www.instructables.com/id/Desulfator_for_12V_Car_Batteries_in_an_Altoids_Ti/ It will do what you want, with out the risk of melting you skin off. More.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
