Electrical - Battery Care

Is your boat laid up for the winter? Will the batteries still be working come spring? Here are some ideas to keep those batteries fresh and in tip top condition.

FEATURED PRODUCT - BATTERY ACTIVATOR

90% of batteries fail due to the build up of sulphates on the lead plates within the battery. These sulphates start to build up whenever a battery is not in a full state of charge. The build up insulates the plates from the surrounding acid and reduces the performance of the battery. Designed to improve battery performance and greatly extend useful battery life, this device uses pulse technology to remove sulphates by sending a “shock wave” every 30 seconds through the battery. This pulse of energy, amounting to 90 amperes for a few microseconds, is sufficient to remove any build up of sulphates anywhere within the battery. Positive and Negative connections must be made direct to the battery terminals with no extension of the original leads.
- Can be fitted and left permanently connected.
- Consume 12 mA from the battery and over many weeks will eventually discharge the battery if not maintained.
- Fitted with 3 indicators to show the condition of the battery and an indicator which flashes every 30 seconds as the pulse is generated and flows through the battery.
