I know there are some people here that have written about their—special potions—they use to "lengthen and help" their batteries along.
On the Trojan FAQ page it says the following under the "Additives & External Components" section:
1. Can I use battery additives?
Trojan Battery, along with other battery manufacturers, do not recommend that you add anything to your batteries other than distilled water.
Extensive testing has shown that most of these additives do not work as advertised; in fact, some may do more harm than good. Be aware that adding anything other than water to your batteries will void the warranty.
2. Do you recommend the use of desulfators?
We don’t recommend the use of desulfators or any other external device, as they tend to do more harm than good. No external device or chemicals need to be added to our products – only distilled water.
3. Do you ever add acid to a battery?
Under normal operating conditions, you never need to add acid. Only distilled, deionized or approved water should be added to achieve the recommended levels mentioned above.
We installed Trojan 105 6V golf cart batt's in our coach and follow manufactures advice. Just saying.
