Product description:
The Battery Refresher enhances the function of the
WAECO program for service, maintenance of lead
batteries and helps to keep them in shape.
Most of the lead batteries terminate their "lives" prematurely
due to so-called sulphation. The lead sulphate forms into
smooth, large crystals over time. Thus, the amorphous,
porous structure disappears. The charging power and thus
the charging capacity decrease consistently, the battery
ages.
The Battery Refresher takes energy from the battery and
returns it as a surge. As a result, the crystals are excited in
its natural frequency for oscillating. They thus decompose
back to their amorphous structure. However, these
molecules can be integrated into the charging process and
thereby return the battery capacity to nominal values.
Charging voltage, cold test power and capacity increase
again.
Thus, it is possible to revive old batteries and to preserve
new batteries against aging prematurely.
It is best to connect the Refresher to batteries up to 300 Ah.
The Battery Refresher works from a voltage larger than
12.8 V (25.8 V for MBR-100-24) terminal voltage.
Then the green LED illuminates.
However, the Refresher shuts down at voltages below 12.6
V (25.2 V for MBR-100-24).
