Battery Sulphation

Formation of lead sulphate is a normal chemical reaction in the charge and discharge process. However when the lead sulfate is left sitting for long periods of time, the initially spongy lead sulfate hardens and forms crystals. Unlike the spongy lead sulfate, these crystals cannot be reverted back to active material (lead and lead dioxide).
More crystals on lead plates mean less active material is left to be used for the battery's chemical reaction.

Restored Batteries

2 Volt Glass Cells

What is a restored battery

As lead sulphate on a battery plate crystalizes it is no longer able to take part in the chemical reaction to store and deliver energy.

It also prevents the acid from getting to the active material underneath.

This two process reduces the battery capacity over time.

Our desulphation process uses high frequency pulses to agitate the lead sulphate crystals breaking it;s hard molecular bonds.

This changes it to soft sulphate and allow it to take place in the chemical reaction again.

This recovers all the active material still adhering on the plates. The result is that we get a "Restored Battery" that is as good as new and often last 2 - 3 years.

A second hand battery you purchase from a car wrecker is just that - A battery nearing the end of it's useful life. A restored battery is like a new battery.
