It is difficult to recondition a bad automotive starting battery, the plates are too thin and not fiber-reinforced like a deep-cycle battery, they will warp from the heat, plus it is not designed to handle the out-gassing that active boiling will create.

I have to agree with mpolli. You might be able to get some capacity back, but it's the beginning of the end.
