I use a Battery desulfator for my car, deep cycle boat and solar panels Batteries to electrically shake the sulfate crystals that build up on the lead plates. They last three times as long as the battery without the desulfator.
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL)
has been working with Recombination Technologies
and Optima Batteries to develop a current interrupt
charging algorithm to extend the deep life cycle of
valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) batteries. The work
in this area is based on the hypothesis that VRLA batteries
reach end-of-life prematurely with “normal”
constant current/voltage charge. Using a current interrupt
technique, NREL and Optima Batteries improved
the cycle life of VRLA modules from 150–200 deep discharge
cycles to 700 deep discharge cycles. This simple
technique is considered a “breakthrough” for use of
VRLA batteries in electric vehicles.
