I think a bit of agitation helps mix the electrolyte.  I have had 
traction cells fail (after standing for a while waiting to be used) 
and I have been unable to revive them with vigorous individual 
overcharging.  When they go back to the suppliers however, they get 
charged up and then hold the charge.  (This can be embarrassing.)  I 
suspect that the important thing is not the re-charge as such but the 
journey back to the suppliers, which mixes the electrolyte.  Now I am 
doing vigorous re-charge with manual agitation and I think I am 
winning.  I would prefer not to have bad cells in the first place, 
but high antimony cells do seem to go into a bad condition just 
through boredom.
