Abstract

A new method for prolonging the life of lead-acid batteries was invented devised by charging the batteries with a high current pulse of a particular pulse width special wavelength. The effectiveness of the new method was verified by prototyping a prototype circuit and conducting charging-discharging cycle tests in a laboratory. The device was named the "High current pulse activator". Moreover, it was experimentally proven that this device was even more effective when used with batteries filled with a polymer additive supplied by ITE.
