Sulfation & pulse technology
They do work, and I've brought back batteries from the dead with them. As
long as the plates haven't been damaged from running dry, you can put it on the desulphator for a few weeks and it'll act like new. -- Keith __ "Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds." ... Albert Einstein "Larry" wrote in message ... It does what it says it does. It blasts surface sulphation from the plates with pulses of serious current. But, alas, that's not usually the problem. Battery plates have been precipitating lead sulphate into their own bilges forever. The miracle chargers do nothing to RETRIEVE the lead from the hard sulphates and PUT THEM BACK ON THE PLATES. So, alas, the plates are still shrinking in size and capacity and still have unrepairable holes eaten into them if there's too much acid or "local action" from being made too cheaply..... You'll be able to draw more current off a clean plate with less voltage drop.....but the battery will get old just like it always did when the PbSO4 in solution in the electrolyte forms hard PbSO4 and your plate sulphate falls into the bottom of the battery, where it can't be recharged back into lead on the plates again...... It's not a "cure" for a dead battery.....

The other day while browsing on the topic, however, I see there are a bunch of devices out there using pulse technology to break down the PbS04 bond and clean the plates. Is this new? Does it work? I don't remember every hearing about these things before this year. J Morrin Larry Extremely intelligent life must exist in the universe. You can tell because they never tried to contact us. |
