Connect Battery Replenisher to prevent Battery Sulphation and improve the life as well as performance of Lead Acid Battery
How does Battery
Replenisher work ?
Battery Replenisher
works on PULSE Charge TECHNOLOGY to prolong the life and to rejuvenate
your Battery.
- Battery Replenisher
is very competent with its Pulse Technology hence can be used for any
Vehicle or Inverter / UPS Battery.
- Battery Replenisher
will automatically start its work of bringing the voltage of the Battery
to normal. i.e. 12.6 volts for a Car Battery or a Truck Battery.
- Battery Replenisher
is a shockproof and maintenance free Device, needs no attention after
providing proper connection to the Battery. As the Battery Replenisher
is provided with long wires, it can be placed anywhere on the dashboard
to view the Battery Voltage.
- Due to regular
use of the Battery, it forms a Sulphate layer on the surface of the
Battery plates. This drains down the Battery and if excessive, the internal
resistance drags down the voltage resulting in reducing Battery supply
voltage and Battery failure in the course of time. The Device "Battery
Replenisher" evens out the distribution of the Lead Sulphate on
the lead plates of the Battery and brings the voltage to perfection
i.e. 12.6 volts for a Car Battery or Truck Battery. Do not discharge
the Lead Acid Battery below 10.5 volts. It can severely damage the Battery.
- The three most
important things to know about a Battery are its amp/hour rating, its
chemistry and its voltage. A typical Car Battery has six lead-acid cells.
Such a cell puts out about 2.1 volts each when fully charged. Six of
them in series cause it to be called a 12.6 Volt Battery! However, when
really fully charged, the Battery can be closer to 13.8 volts. However,
in practice it is called "12 Volts Battery". The Device "Battery
Replenisher" will prolong the life of your Battery by maintaining
voltage closer to 13.8 volts and will keep the Battery healthy for a
very long time. In fact the Device "Battery Replenisher" will
more than double the life of your Battery.
- Most of the batteries
are rated in electrical capacity for a discharge rate of 20 hours. A
20 amp/hour battery should provide one amp of current for 20 hours before
being fully discharged. It will still show a voltage but it will no
longer be functioning correctly. The Device "Battery Replenisher"
will do the work of recharging the battery automatically.
How is Battery Replenisher
installed ?
Replenisher is installed
by connecting two wires to the battery terminals with proper polarity.
Additional features are reverse polarity protection & a Precision
Digital Voltmeter to indicate battery voltage. It indicates battery charge
status; energy remained in the battery & by practice one can easily
evaluate how long the inverter will work.
Step-by-Step Instructions
to install a Battery Replenisher:
- One wire (RED colour
terminal) is to be connected to the positive terminal of the Battery.
The wire (Black colour terminal) is to be connected to the negative
terminal of the Battery.
- After connecting
wires to the Battery, the Replenisher device will show the voltage of
the Battery on its Digital screen. Being small in size, you can place
it anywhere on the dash board.
Protections for Battery
Replenisher
In case of your wire
connections of the Battery Replenisher to the Battery terminals being
wrong, the protective glass fuse (5 amps, 20mm) inside the Battery Replenisher
will disconnect the line and you will have to replace the fuse.
How does a Battery
work ?
A car battery or a
lead acid battery is a type of rechargeable battery that supplies electric
energy to an automobile. An Inverter battery will guard the inverter with
supply voltage 24x7.
These batteries 12V
type are made up of six cells in series. Each cell consists of a plate
of lead and a supported plate of lead (IV) oxide (PbO2), both immersed
in fairly concentrated electrolyte solution of 35% sulfuric acid and 65%
water. The lead oxide plate is the positive pole and the lead plate is
the negative pole. As the battery discharges, electrons flow from the
negative to the positive pole. When we charge the battery, we just drive
electrons back in the opposite direction.
The reason for a battery
failing is due to the chemical processes which take place within each
cell. As the battery discharges, the positive plate reacts with the sulfuric
acid to produce lead ions and water. The negative plate dissolves to form
lead ions in the process, which finally leads to the battery's complete
failure. On charging, the positive plate builds up a thicker coating of
lead oxide, removing water and lead ions from the sulfuric acid as it
does so. The negative plate fizzes and releases hydrogen from the sulfuric
acid as it builds up a coating of lead.
The problems start
when the lead ions are formed in the discharge cycle. They in combination
with Sulphate ions in sulfuric acid forms highly insoluble lead Sulphate
(PbSO4). When this coats the plates of the battery, it fails to deliver
enough power to be of use although it may well be thoroughly serviceable
in every other way. This 'Sulphating ' stops the battery delivering enough
power to start the vehicle.
The sulphating can
effectively be removed or prevented by our Battery Replenisher.

Our Device, the "Battery Replenisher" will do the work correctly
and the battery will stay healthy for a very long time.
Do Lead Acid Batteries
discharge when not in use?
All batteries, regardless
of their chemistry, will self-discharge. The rate of self-discharge for
lead acid batteries depends on the storage or operating temperature. At
a temperature of 80 degrees F. a lead acid battery will self-discharge
at a rate of approximately 4% a week. A battery with a 125-amp hour rating
would self-discharge at a rate of approx. five amps per week. Keeping
this in mind if a 125 AH battery is stored for four months (16 weeks)
in winter without being charged, it will loose 80 amps of its 125-amp
capacity. It
will also have severe sulphating, which causes additional loss of capacity.
Keep your batteries
charged with our Device "Battery Replenisher" even while not
in use!
Many vendors sell
chemical additives (solid compounds as well as liquid solutions) that
supposedly reduce Sulphate build up and improve battery condition when
added to the electrolyte of a vented lead-acid battery. Such treatments
are rarely, if ever, effective.Active material (the positive plate lead
peroxide and negative plate spongy lead) changes physical form during
discharge, resulting in plate growth, distortion of the active material,
and shedding of active material. Once the active material has left the
plates, it cannot be restored into position by any chemical treatment.
Similarly, internal physical problems such as cracked plates, corroded
connectors, or damaged separators cannot be restored chemically.
Charge and discharge
In normal automotive
service the vehicle's engine-driven alternator powers the vehicle's electrical
systems and restores charge used from the battery during engine cranking.
When installing a new battery or recharging a battery that has been accidentally
discharged completely, one of the several different methods can be used
to charge it. The most gentle of these is called trickle charging. Other
methods include slow-charging and quick-charging, the latter being the
harshest.
However, the most
sophisticated & perfect electronic Device is our "Battery Replenisher".
It will do the work of keeping the battery charged all the time correctly
and automatically and the battery will stay healthy for a very long time.
What are the Common
Battery faults ?
- Shorted cell due
to failure of the separator between the positive and negative plates
- Broken internal
connections due to corrosion
- Broken plates due
to vibration and corrosion
- Low electrolyte
- Cracked or broken
case
- Broken terminals
- Sulphating after
a prolonged time.
- Our electronic
device "Battery Replenisher" will remove Sulphating effectively.
- In addition, the
primary wear-out mechanism is the shedding of active material from the
battery plates, which accumulates at the bottom of the cells and which
may eventually short-circuit the plates.
Why do Battery discharge
?
- If a battery has
been completely discharged (e.g. the car lights were left on overnight)
- The conventional
lead-acid batteries discharge at a rate of 1% per day at 77 degrees
Fahrenheit. That means that in a bit more than three months, your battery
is dead. Faster if your bike/car draws some current when not running,
which many modern vehicles do.
