How do you get the lead sulfate paste off the bottom of the casing back into solution allowing the redepositioning of the lead in the lead sulfate back onto the metal grid for battery reconditioning?

You face an uphill struggle to get the precipitated lead sulfate paste back into a solution that is already effectively saturated. You could drive to deposit the lead onto the grid, reducing the lead ions in solution, improving your solubility product, but hydrogen production may make this explosive and dangerous. Addition of sulfate would work against this as well, IMHO.
