Magnetic resonance pulses were first employed during World War 2 in German submersible U-boats; enabling electric battery powered motors to run quietly over longer periods of time to deadly effect. It has since been applied in avionics and now industrial batteries. It does not replace maintenance but should be considered a standard part of maintenance. I see gains in efficiency with this tech every day. The pulse is installed on the batteries, optimizing their ability to take and keep a charge. The evidence is palpable.
I have been in this business since 1983. Over the years I have seen many gadget devices to come along "claiming" they will rejuvenate and de-sulphate your lift truck batteries. Trust me, THEY DO NOT WORK. The ONLY thing that will work is PROPER maintenance, watering, and cycling. I have seen batteries that were properly maintained survive for 15 and 16 years and still be at 80% capacity, DO NOT use fast chargers!!!! They will literally cook a battery! Fast chargers reduce the costly expense of a battery from a mfg. life expectancy of 8 years to 18 months!!!
Honestly, show me something where a battery MANUFACTURER endorses these devices, and it would lend a little credibility. Since battery manufacturers often endorse charging methods and manufacturers, it should follow that if there was some real benefit with 'desulfation' the battery manufactures would approve the methods.
And 60% is nothing to brag about. That's just a little better than a coin-toss.
My company is called MacbatSA Western Cape. We are a South African based company specialising in Battery Regeneration/desulfation. Our parent company is situated in Arvika in Sweden.
We posses technology which has taken some years to develope. We currently perform licenced desulfation of Forklift batteries accross Southern Africa. At the moment we have a 60% succes rate with our exploits. We have already serviced customers who now swear by this process.
We find ourselves in increasingly difficult times and not every company can afford just to replace Cells or entire Batteries. By desulfating Batteries we not only fix the clients problem but we extend the life of their Batteries. By extending the life of their Batteries we save them cost on numerous Cell replacements and purchases of new Batteries.
Regeneration is a process which must be undertaken on an annual basis to ensure Batteries are kept running at their optimum levels. The only issue we are currently experiencing at this moment in time is that the original equipment suppliers are reluctant to try something new.
Hello,
YOU need make desulfating cykle:
1 charge batery with 1/20 C5 current up to 2.55V/cell.
2 discharge batery to 2.20V/cell..., again...many times
no less 10 hours to min 1.25g/cub cm
Good luck
Totally agree - arminius. I have solved battery issues with prospective customers by instructing them what equalize charging does (even showed them the button) & when they should do it. Got a few new customers this way.
Put it on the charger. Enable Equalize (low rate) charge. Problem solved. Or get a small constant current charger to de-sulfate the battery if the OCV is too low to operate the charger.
The fact that shifty snake oil salespeople peddle a 'super-duper de-sulfation machine' is absurd.
Proper charging and maintenance is most definitely the answer, however we all know it will never be done by all users and hence the need for the desulfation.
so I am guessing that not to many people are using or testing the systems yet?
Probably the reason the golf cart industry has taken on this, is because in the winter months the carts & batteries are idle. Whereas, for the most part industrial batteries get use year around. But certain there is not substitute for proper charging & maintanence on the industrial batties or any lead acid battery & timely use of the "Equalize" charge mode, which many users (and sales people) have the slightest idea of what it means or does.
surely a BDI & a proper charging regime is the answer here??
yes they are, they mainly are in use around the golfcart industries but are no breaking into industrial
Are they available for industrial batteries yet ?
