Location: Mauston, Wisconsin | EA- Did you actually read and understand the process's for reversing sulfation? I don't know of to many fisherman that have access to precision 12VDC constant current chargers, and the other equipment, including safety gear to actually try this. In fact they might be wise to see if their home owner insurance policy covers stupidity before attempting it.
Exposing the battery plates to air/oxygen for any significant period of time is a battery killer. If the battery tipped on its side, at least 50% of the plate(s) surface area were directly exposed to air/oxygen. How long was it in this condition? Any exposure to air causes immediate damage. That's why I recommended he take it to a reputable battery shop. The process's listed in your link are more applicable to very large lead-acid wet cell battery jars used in telecommunications, UPS's, and solar voltaic systems where the cost of the jars justify trying these types of remediation methods.
Good luck.
