Enough reactive material is present in lead-acid batteries to keep them operating reliably for eight to 10 years or more, but they don't. The average life of a battery, depending on usage, is six to 48 months. But according to a recent study, only 30% of all batteries actually reach the 48-month point. s last u Batt e 5X LONGER! The primary reason for battery failure is a series of problems caused by sulfation buildup on the plates. PulseTech's patented Pulse Technology imposes high frequency pulsing cycles into batteries to reduce the buildup of sulfation deposits on battery plates. The result is batteries that accept, store and release maximum power, extending battery life up to five times. For over a decade the U. S. military has been using our patented pulse products on their vehicles and equipment all over the world! Visual Proof of the Benefits of Our Pulse Technology 12-Volt Lead-Acid Batteries Charged with PulseTech Charger The pictures shown here are from an independent study comparing Pulse Technology to conventional charging. Photos are of actual battery plates after varying numbers of charge and discharge cycles. They clearly reveal the benefits of pulsing and charging versus charging alone. Pictured in the top row are plates from actual batteries charged with the Xtreme Charge® Battery Maintenance Charger. Shown in the second row are plates from batteries charged with a competitor's conventional charger. Even after hundreds of cycles, the batteries charged with the Xtreme Charge have no sulfate accumulation, ensuring that the batteries will still perform at peak capacity. New – Never Filled 0 Cycles 120 Cycles 240 Cycles 360 Cycles PULSE TECHNOLOGY Today's vehicles and equipment are more technologically advanced, yet basically they still rely on the same lead-acid battery technology developed almost 100 years ago. rie o pt Patented Pulse Technology 480 Cycles 12-Volt Lead-Acid Batteries Charged with Typical Charger Pulse Waveforms PulseTech's Patented Pulse Waveform With the proper training and use, PulseTech's test, charge and maintenance products have consistently achieved a 70-80% reduction in battery consumption. PulseTech's patented waveform is simply the most effective method to remove damaging battery sulfation and to enhance battery performance available today! PulseTech Products' patented, high-frequency pulse waveform is of a specific amplitude and frequency that is precisely controlled by microprocessors. It rapidly rises in less than one microsecond to its maximum amplitude and gradually returns to zero. There is no abrupt stop and no battery drain. Make no mistake – this patented conditioning process is NOT pulse charging or a burst of high voltage provided within the charging regimen! Instead, the low-voltage, high-frequency conditioning pulse is introduced into the battery via a separate circuit independent of the charging circuit. This precisely-controlled waveform has proven to be the best at removing sulfation from the battery plates and returning lead sulfate back to the electrolyte solution. Compare Typical Competitors' "Pulse" Waves Other chargers using pulsing technology traditionally use one of three pulses: Sine, Square and Negative Pulse waves. There are significant problems associated with each type of wave. Sine Pulse Wave This wave fluctuates gradually between positive and negative charge. This pulse is too "soft" to affect the crystal growth. In addition, the upper voltage limit must be carefully controlled to prevent overcharging and gassing the battery. www.xtremecharge.com Square Pulse Wave The square pulse has a relatively long dwell time at maximum voltage and is limited in effect because the voltage at the top of the wave must be limited for safety during charging. Negative Pulse Wave This wave has similar limitations to the square wave pulse plus has the added concern of the charge being restricted during the down cycle of the pulse. This has a negative impact on charging. 3
