David Don't believe everything you read about "green" alternatives. Trilon M appears to still be based on the same family of chelates as EDTA and its higher homologues, even if it is not actually EDTA. For the curious, chelates , especially EDTA , are used in a wide variety of household and other cleaning products. They work by weak bonding with metal ions due their stereochemical properties ( or shape), and are pretty effective at mopping up heavy metals (such as lead, copper, etc) when used in the right concentration. To get this right you need to know what the target ions are, and in what concentration they occur, so unless you know both of these you are probably wasting your time trying to treat a sulphated battery.
