lead acid battery reconditioning
« on: April 03, 2008, 04:06:38 AM »
Recently I started some small experiments with the batteries in my golf cart.

the batts were only good to go check the mail at the end of my driveway, about a 1200 foot round trip.

before i tried anything on the batts in the cart i found some old car batts to do my experiments.

yes ive tried the pulse charging, over charging, new acid......ect, ect..

and yes i understand the chemical process inside the batts.

and have a battery analyzer to see any improvements in capacity.

long story short, after many ,many trials, destroyed batts, and months of test after test ive come up with an additive that will bring a junk batt back to life!
NO EDTA, NO lye, NO Epsom salts. as these do work to DE sulfate a batt, it destroys them in the long run.

now my cart lasts for nearly 4 hours at top speed! and keeps getting better!

I just wanted to post this to see if anyone else has put any thought into recycling batteries?
and if i need to patent my work?

thanks to all

There is a lot on desulfating l(desulphating) lead acid batteries out there. Find out first.
Also, a lot of work on building lead acid batteries that do not deteriorate.

over the past few months Ive read just about everything i can get my hands on about batteries

now my head hurts ??? ???

its intresting that most battery manufacturers do not use any additives?

some do but you pay more for the battery, way more

a method of desulfating batteries from years ago was to ad cadmium sulfate :o.

but i would rather not get cancer any sooner!

and yes i would like to share what Ive found but Ive put so much time into it, i hope all of you understand ;D

once i figure out how to get the test results in a format that i can upload ill show my results

thank you all for any input

@redriderno22

Read the second part of this post I put up a while ago.
http://www.overunity.com/index.php/topic,3599.msg65290.html#msg65290

This just may be right up your alley. I was going to try it but always lack of time time time. If you are into it, please let us know how it goes.

Yes it is true
if you add synthetic oil to a battery it keeps in the O2 and H in the electrolyte

helping to keep the SG high!

But its not as easy as it sounds

the oil used needs to let out some of the H and keep the O2

if the O2 stays in the electrolyte it has a better chance of recombining with the positive plate(s) in the battery during a recharge.

so it can help to prolong battery life.

thank you for the info.

Hi

I cant give you details  about this , but when i was a young lass my dad would rejuvenate old lead acid batteryies by shooting a high voltage the wrong way through it , the battery was first emptied of acid then filled with cold water from the tap then he had a transformer thing and hed say stand back and shoot a ht thru it . this is all i know and would love to lnow more details myself if anyone knew how it was done ???

love to all

Samantha

Yes Ive herd of this too

its very dangerous

i would not suggest it, ever had a battery explode......not fun :-[ :-[

and not all batteries can be reused!

I have had mixed results with freezing various batteries some batteries (rechargeable) took numerous freezing unfreezing cycles before they worked a simple thing to do for someone who is single your freezer is never full because you can never afford to fill it...

Anyhow just a little something to add.

A section for battery reconditioning may not be a bad idea at all. As we progress and find ways to generate power untill hydrogen production is more readily available and cost efficiant hydrogen generators exsist most of us will be using batteries

Ive actually had some good results after using a newman motor on one of the batts i reconditioned

I don't know if anyone else has tried it?

I used one batt to run it, and one batt to be recharged.

like a bedini.

seemed to work well.

I couldn't tell exactly what was happening without a scope but it would light a 125 V neon bulb on the charging side!
