I am running into an occasional battery that has been filled up with
some kind of dark colored little greyish-black balls about the size
of a round pinhead. They make me think somebody is selling the public
a product that is touted as possibly putting a new lead coating on
the plates for whatever reason. The little balls seem to kill the
battery completely. I've sucked them out with a squeeze bulb and
fill back up with water but all to no avail. It just won't charge
at all. I haven't seen the product in any of the auto parts stores
yet  and I sure wouldn't buy it if I did see it but curiousity
makes me wonder what the heck they are. You know anything about
those?

Like I said, the VX-6 people went out of business years ago. (:-0

AW SHUCKS! Now you went and ruined my last great belief. First I find
out that Santa Claus ain't for real and now you blow my belief system
that said that if I bought something it would last "forever."
