Abstract :
We report here that a newly invented pulse activator make it possible to reduce sulphation on the electrode of lead-acid battery resulting the prolongation of the battery life. A high-pulsed current is discharged and then a high pulsed current charging is made. The high current used is 5 to 10 C. Through the battery evaluation test of charging and discharging, the effectiveness of the performance of this high current pulse activator is proved.
