Jon is right it's definitely worth a shot. Even though your outcome will most likely not change.

This isn't a case of sulphation, it's a case of accidentally exposing the plates to air. A different monster of the same ilk; it still eats batteries.

Trying to restore damaged batteries, no matter what the cause, is usually hopeless. You may be able to reduce plate sulphation, but you can't eliminate it. Nor can you reverse plate erosion or other internal mechanical damage.

After any such efforts, no matter how successful, you will still have a "suspect" battery that could fail at any moment.
