The battery desulfation market has exploded over the last few years as new companies and technologies come to market armed with the latest research & maintenance techniques.
The original battery rejuvenator desulfator technology was developed and patented by Canadus Technologies and sold to PulseTech in the late 1990's before being adopted by the US Military to condition, rejuvenate and restore new and old batteries alike. This frequency based pulse method is literally the most effective method available for ensuring lead-acid battery performance, increasing battery efficiency and reducing battery-related costs.
Today, in addition to frequency based desulfation (
PulseTech’s Xtreme Charger and
VDC Electronics Battery MINDer), industry experts have developed additional reconditioning / desulfating / rejuvenating techniques centered on rapid voltage fluctuation and square wave technology. The
Battery Life Saver, utilizing squarewave technology, is the most promising of these newer desulfation techniques. These high frequency industrial grade on board desulfators are a must have for forklifts, golf cars, and scissor lifts. The multitude of rapid voltage fluctuation methods, although not as effective as true frequency square wave methods, still represent a huge leap forward when compared to traditional battery maintenance standards established decades ago. Canadus now uses both voltage modulation along with high frequency pulses.
