As others have explained, the problem is sulfation. I have had good
results de-sulfating lead-acid batteries of all types (flooded, gel,
AGM) with "BatteryMINDer" brand chargers/desulfators. With badly
sulfated batteries, rejuvination can take a long time. Often, they
return to a good approximation of "like new" performance. Sometimes
they improve but don't return to "like new."
