I remember in The Olden Days motor factors sold tubes of "de-sulphation tablets" that never worked, but that was most likely because the problem wasn't sulphation, but shedding of active material and disintergration of the plates.
The internet consensus seems to be adding saturated epsom salt solution (magnesium sulphate) and trickle charging will remove existing sulphation, but I've not found the chemistry behind it. The best way to prevent sulphation is to keep the battery charged.
If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

I thought I had a recalcitrant alternator but it turned out to be a crook wire/connection at the computer end of the LIN circuit. This was confirmed by the Suzuki Roadside Assist-RAC Battery Technician three weeks back, and yes, correctly diagnosed by Martin about this time last year!
As for the car, it has now been called home, more details when I know.

l've never worried about the battery, it's always started up with no issues and shows no signs of becoming depleted.
l used to worry about the battery going flat in my Triumph Herald back in 1982, but that only had a dynamo which didn't charge at all when the engine was at low RPM

l've got one on my motorcycle, as it doesn't move all winter.
But if the vehicle is in use even if it's not every day it shouldn't be necessary.
