Battery Rejuvenating Chargers

All
of these batteries can be brought back to full or even
greater capacity |
During
discharge, tiny chemical crystals are formed on the plates of
the battery. While charging, these crystals are
electrolytically dissolved from the plates. If the battery is
not completely recharged after each use, this crystallization
increases slightly with each charge/load cycle and impedes the
battery's ability both to be charged and to deliver power.

If the
battery is overcharged, it will excessively heat and this can
cause its active plate material to become electrically
isolated, causing the battery to fail prematurely. SunLight
incorporates radiant charging with several innovative design
technologies to minimize both undercharging and overcharging
problems while gently conditioning the plates. Other advanced
chargers and desulfators may give temporary immediate gains,
but while they do this, they also degrade the plates (which,
in the case of lead-acid batteries, eventually end up in the
bottom of the battery). Today there is a revolutionary battery
charging technology that does not leave you with low acid
levels and degrading plates. Rather, this truly unique
charging system creates a denser crystalline structure,
restoring acid levels without ineffective additives,
increasing capacity and maintaining cell integrity. While
there are many different pulse charging systems on the market,
all of which claim to provide a better and deeper charge, they
still cannot compare to the radiant charge. Unlike others,
SunLight chargers, using radiant charging technology,
effectively rejuvenate, in many cases, previously considered
unchargeable batteries. Often these batteries are restored to
near-new condition. In some cases they outperform a comparable
battery that is brand new, right off the shelf. |

Recycle
your batteries without buying new ones. With conventional
charging techniques, the average life of a liquid filled
battery, depending on usage, is 24 to 48-months. According to
a recent study, only 30% of all batteries actually reach the
48-month point.

For
example in the United States battery users purchase
nearly 3 billion dry-cell batteries every year to power
radios, toys, cellular phones, watches, laptop
computers, and portable power tools. Nearly 99 million
wet-cell lead-acid car batteries are manufactured each
year. A typical lead-acid battery contains 60 to 80
percent recycled lead and plastic. On average, each
person in the United States discards eight dry-cell
batteries per year. Each year, consumers throw out
almost 180,000 tons of batteries. About 14,000 of those
tons are rechargeable batteries; the rest are
single-use. |
Batteries are a unique product comprised of heavy metals
some of which are toxic heavy metals such as cadmium,
mercury, and lead. These materials can threaten our
environment if not properly discarded. Improperly
disposed batteries may:
|
 |
• Pollute the lakes and streams as the metals
vaporize into the air when burned.
• Contribute to heavy metals that potentially may
leach from solid waste landfills.
• Expose the environment and water to lead and
acid.
• Contain strong corrosive acids.
• Cause chemical burns or danger to eyes and skin. |
Batteries that end up in landfills and incinerators
eventually leak into the environment and end up in the
food chain, causing serious health risks to humans and
animals.
By
challenging current battery charging standards, SunLight
battery charging technology can significantly reduce the
environmental impacts of unnecessarily discarded
batteries. |
