Loaded voltage will drop dramatically. I taught battery theory and servicing for 30+ years. There's a way to break down sulfation, by completely discharging the battery and S L O W L Y recharging it repeatedly, (10 amps or less) but it takes weeks and numerous cycles to work. Very few people have the time or patience to do that. Jerry
