Thank you Bobzilla for the reply. I know about the gas I was just woundering about any other harm , but I see I ony need to be safe with the gas as far as the ventilation and with making sure it does not have any sparks around the battery, with any battery for that matter.


D Rhodes, good to see others are having great succes with thier convertions to alum.What are your restting voltages on your 12 volt batteries? Mine have been at 12.6-12.8 when I check after a charge.I will be checking the battery again to see where it is at again soon.

Also anybody try the epsom salt convertion? Or tried to mix epsom salt with the alum to see if their is any improvment?

I have been testing the alum battery conversion.I am impressed with it and have been using it for my off grid power. I have been testing with only 1 battery for awhile.I like it and thinking of using it perminately.I also am tring to study the chemistry of the alum.Their is a question I have to John B. or anyone who knows .Lead acid batteris need to be inclosed and vented to the outside.Does the alum battery gas like the acid, if it does is it harmful?Should the alum batteris be vented to the outside?Also what about the epsom salt battery?I have been reading about that to.Can the alum and epsom salt be mixed to have a better mix, or has this not been thought of?
