Deep Cycle Batteries
A good quality deep cycle lead acid battery will cost between $50 and $200 and, if properly maintained, will give you at least 150 deep discharge cycles. The purpose of a deep cycle battery is to provide power for trolling motors, golf carts, forklift trucks, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), and other accessories for marine and recreational vehicle (RV), commercial and stationary applications. Dead batteries almost always occur at the most inopportune times: across the lake, during bad weather, or on the 17th tee. . .

Sulfation
– Why it may be killing your battery.
It has long been known that Golf Car as well as other application lead-acid batteries, sealed AGM
or
flooded
(wet cell-filler caps), when used infrequently, lose power and have shorter lives than those used on a more
regular-daily basis. Why should this be? It is counter-intuitive. Something
else must be going on that is not seen
or
readily understood. The major “unseen” is “sulfation”, a build-up of lead sulfate crystals causing
“bad things”
to begin happening
leading to loss of cranking power, longer charging times, excessive heat build-up leading to
“boil out”, shorter running times between charges and lastly, dramatically shorter battery
life. It is however, not
the only reason
a battery fails.
Because there are numerous
causes of battery failure, it is difficult to determine the present “health” of
a failing battery. It is long known and widely accepted that the single largest cause of early battery
failure is
“sulfation”. It is
however not the only cause. The job of a VDC Electronics or any company concerned with
helping extend the usefulness of batteries, is to accurately guide the user in determining whether
desulfating his
battery will bring it back
to “good” health. There are conditions that exist that render a battery beyond “recover”.
These cannot be easily determined, without destroying the battery in
the process. Thus, at times, desulfating it
won’t
make it “good” again. Do we just tell the owners of the hundreds of thousands of batteries that can be
“saved” from early failure, due to sulfation, to not even
“give it a shot”? Seven (7) years of producing more than
forty thousand (40,000) charger-maintainer-desulfator units per year, tells us we should not stop
our efforts. Can
we do a better job? We
can always do a better job, so long as we continue to have the desire and knowledge to do
so.
Conclusion:
de-sulfating batteries, via high frequency-high energy electronic pulses works at removing
sulfate from any type lead-acid battery, sealed or wet cell. By doing so, otherwise healthy batteries,
those which
have lost no more than 20% of
their power*, can expect improvement to an 85% or greater level of performance.
As with our own bodies, prevention beats rehab, every time. With BatteryMINDers’ ability to
fully charge,
without ever overcharging,
no matter how long left connected, there is no reason sulfation should ever become an
issue. Further, without sulfation ever reaching damaging levels and the battery never subjected to
overcharging,
life and performance can be
expected to be several folds better than any battery left to self-discharge, as is typical
of so many golf car batteries. “The
proper use of a non-Aircraft Specific BatteryMINDer ensures the longest
performance life of any golf car battery, sealed or wet (filler caps). Our unconditional Guarantee and 5-year
full
parts and labor warranty, should tell
most that, we ‘walk the walk’”.

and/or no load battery voltage after “resting” battery for 10-12 hours.
