In addition to electrolyte stratification, there is also micro-short 
circuits. When L-A cells age, minute amounts of the plate materials 
detach from the plates and lodge between the plates creating 
micro-shorts. Giving the cells a journey to town dislodges this 
sluffed plate material and it settles to the bottom of the cells, 
eliminating the short.
