Sulfation and How to Prevent it
It is no secret that sulfation is the #1 killer of lead acid based batteries and that desulfators using Pulse Technology make an IMPACT. PulseTech, a company that produces desulfators, recently said, “After 20+ years, there is no doubt that our products will eliminate your battery problems and will make your batteries perform better.” However, there are still some much respected battery professionals that would argue differently.

Recover Batteries Previously Thought Dead
In July, we heralded the SC-12 Recovery Charger as an indispensable component to a successful Battery Management Program (BMP). For August’s Pulse Talk segment we are introducing its baby brother, the new SC-2 Recovery Charger.
The SC-2 Recovery Charger is the perfect complement for smaller fleets and maintenance bays and pays for itself with the recovery of approximately 9 batteries! The PulseTech line of chargers desulfates batteries so they can accept, store and release maximum power. SC-2 is completely safe with no possibility of overcharging or overheating.

PulseTech There is No Comparison
PulseTech’s SC-12 Recovery Charger is an essential component to creating a highly successful Battery Management Program (BMP). Not only does it allow users to reduce hazardous waste generation by desulfating and recovering ‘dead’ batteries, the SC-12 recovery charger will achieve immediate cost savings. Dramatically reduce your new battery budget by extending the life of existing batteries, efficiently restore & recover old batteries and decrease battery related maintenance and installation costs. There is no other charger on the planet that can compare with how the SC-12 desulfates batteries so they can accept, store and release maximum power.

Lead-acid Batteries
Although lead-acid batteries have many disadvantages when compared to other types of batteries, these types of batteries are among the most common batteries on the planet. One of the major reasons for the prevalence of lead-acid batteries is their ability to be recharged multiple times. The internal reaction that creates electricity is reversible, allowing a spent battery to be restored to a functional state over and over.
Over time, however, lead-acid batteries lose their ability to hold a charge. This gradual loss of charging capacity is due to a process called sulfation. While discharging, the lead dioxide plates within the battery react with the sulfuric acid electrolyte, causing lead sulfate to build up on the plates. As lead sulfate builds up within the battery, it loses its ability to provide electricity. When the battery charges, the voltage of the charging mechanism causes the lead sulfate to return to its original state. Over repeated charges, however, some of these lead sulfate deposits crystallize and harden, making them hard to remove. These crystallized deposits interfere with the battery's operation, making the battery harder to charge. Eventually, the sulfate deposits
