When a lead acid battery is discharged, Lead (Pb) in the negative 
electrode and Lead dioxide (PbO2) in the positive electrode react with 
the Sulfuric acid (H2SO4) producing Lead SULFATE in both electrodes and 
water (H2O). Charging reverses this reaction.

Therefore there is another term for "desulfating", it is called 
"Charging". ALL battery chargers, when used on lead acid batteries, by 
definition, "desulfate" the batteries they are charging.

Now go have a cool glass of dihydrogenmonoxide and relax.
