The following items are listed in an article entitled 10 Pain-Free Talking Points for the Aspirin Enthusiast by Bill DeMain in the Jan-Feb 2011 issue of mental_floss magazine (page 20. I had never heard of this before so figured I ought to consult the experts… If someone could verify this, I think p…

I heard that one 30 years ago. As I recall, it may help you get your car started, but it may also reduce the battery life. Most likely it will do nothing.

Most of today’s batteries are sealed. You can’t open them up, so even if this were true, it wouldn’t be applicable.

I guess you would cut the aspirin into three parts each to put in the six holes that the battery has. It revives batteries about as well as dancing around and kicking the bumper.

For “maintenance free batteries” don’t do anything aside from lubing the terminals to prevent corrosion. For batteries that require maintenance, only add water to the prescribed levels, preferrably distilled water. Once you start adding aspiration to you battery, you might as well add rice to you …
