Scientific basis for desulphation process / circuitry

Every element known to man has a magnetic moment at a resonant frequency ie. a point at which the chemical bonds that hold the molecules together to form a crystal can be broken. Sulphation, the number one cause of early battery failure, is simply crystals of lead sulfate (PbSO4) which have formed on the lead storage plates in a lead-acid type battery.

When a battery is improperly charged (over/under) or allowed to self-discharge as occurs during storage/non-use, these crystals build up on the battery’s storage plates preventing the battery from ever being fully charged and therefore able to deliver their full power / capacity.

VDC Electronics, Inc
. has created a simple method of generating the required resonant frequency (3.26 megahertz pulse) to breakdown the lead sulfate crystals, allowing the molecules to return to the battery's electrolyte. By creating a wave form with the required 3.26 MHz frequency, coupled with a very fast rise time and a high amplitude pulse, more energy is developed to breakdown sulphation than by any other method believed to exist. This unique approach is now U.S. Patent Pending.

"Sulphation"

Sulphation is the formation of crystals that prevent older batteries from reaching their full-charge capacity.

Note: Not every battery is a candidate for re-conditioning due to mechanical damage, due to vibration or contamination, which has caused its cells to be "shorted". If however a 12 volt battery has a resting voltage of at least 10.5 V and none of the 6 cells are shorted, de-sulphation of its plates can be accomplished.
