Don't want to give up on the battery if possible. Don't want to have a safety problem either!
In the past, I have drained a battery completely, flushed it with water a couple times and refilled it with new acid at 1275 sp. gr.
This battery was partially sulfated so I added a teaspoon of epsom salt to each cell also. I got another 3 months from that battery.
