1. What causes a lead acid battery to go bad?
The most common cause of premature battery failure
Is due to a build-up of suphate on the plates, which interferes with the charging and discharging of the battery. This build-up is accelerated by the following:
- high temperature -- over 70 degrees;
- discharging the battery below 10.5 volts;
- storage without charging
The best way to prevent and remove this build-up is to use a BLS Battery Reviver.
The second most common cause of premature failure
Is loss of electrolyte --(the liquid chemical that causes electricity to flow) --due to overcharging or heat.
The third most common cause of premature failure
Is undercharging because undercharging accelerates the build-up on the plates.
Use BLS Battery Reviver to over come this problem.
The fourth most common cause of premature failure
Is called "old age." This is a result of the plates shedding material which falls to the bottom of the battery cell and eventually shorts the plates. This shedding of material is accelerated by the build up mentioned above.
The answer to longer battery life is BLS Battery Reviver.
The fifth most common cause of premature failure
Is excessive vibration. This causes the shedding to occur faster. The BLS Battery Reviver electronic device can help here because clean plates will shed more slowly.
2. Why doesn't it last as long as the warrantee?
This is a ploy by manufacturers to guarantee that you will buy another battery from them. They want to sell you a new one. Your warrantee is based on the number of months of use since purchase. This is called pro-rated. The pro-rated price you pay is its actual true price.
3. What can I do to prolong its life?
- Perform regular maintenance, especially during hot weather as follows:
- Check the electrolyte level in your battery.
- Clean the battery top to eliminate conductive paths so electricity is not re-routed and wasted.
- Check the battery voltage and recharge if necessary.
- After deep cycle discharges or jump starts, recharge your battery.
- Use a BLS Battery Reviver ? just attach it to your battery in seconds and forget about it.
4. How does the BLS Battery Reviver work?
It works by emitting a radio frequency signal that dissolves the sulphate build-up that forms on the plates of the battery.
5. If I have more than one battery in my vehicle do I need to buy more than one BLS Battery Reviver?
You only need one BLS Battery Reviver. It is powerful enough to rejuvenate all the batteries at once.
If your batteries are hooked in parallel, just hook the red wire from BLS Battery Reviver to the positive output , and hook the black wire to the negative output.
If your batteries are hooked in series, as in a golf car (cart) or other electric vehicle, then you will need a BLS Battery Reviver that is rated for the total voltage of all the batteries linked together.
6. Do I need a separate BLS Battery Reviver for each of the forklift in my fleet?
The best way to use BLS Battery Reviver is to use one on each forklift.
The BLS Battery Reviver is designed specifically to keep one forklift battery in like new condition and can be attached permanently. By using BLS Battery Reviver in this way, you can be sure your forlift battery is kept in optimum condition.
An alternate method of using BLS Battery Reviver technology is to use a BLS Battery Reviver device along with a battery charger on each forklift for a total of 24 hours once per month. This way you only need one BLS Battery Reviver. You will need a battery reviver for each voltage battery Ie. 24 volt, 36 volt, 48 volt.
7. How do I use The BLS Battery Reviver electronic device?
Just like Jumper Cables, the Battery Reviver electronic device come with two leads, one red and one black.
In applications using multiple batteries, connect the red lead to the positive terminal of the first battery, and the black lead to the negative terminal of the last battery, and forget it!
8. Will BLS Battery Reviver harm my battery?
No.
Some BLS Battery Reviver models, if not used in conjunction with a charger, will discharge the battery. A BLS Battery Reviver will only discharge a battery if it is not used for an extended period of time. When the BLS Battery Reviver is connected it is using the battery power to power it.
But this does not harm the battery, since Battery Reviver prevents the damage normally associated with deep discharging.
10. If I use BLS Battery Reviver, how long will it extend the life of my battery?
The typical life of a battery is three years to six years depending on the application. We say that BLS Battery Reviver will double or triple the life of your battery.
11. Why shouldn't I just buy a new battery when my old one goes bad?
You can. It will cost you more money in the long run. Also, you still run the risk of being stranded by battery failure as new batteries go bad quicker than you realize. This usually occurs in the worst possible place at the most inopportune time.
New batteries are frequently not very fresh -- i.e. they may already have sulphate build-up from sitting in the warehouse too long. Even if you do buy a new battery, you should use BLS Battery Reviver to bring it up to a new condition and keep it there. The BLS Battery Reviver not only increases its life but also its performance and starting power!
Remember too, when considering cost, that the BLS Battery Reviver is not discarded but used on each new or used vehicle that you purchase. If you consider all the battery you might purchase in your lifetime and all the batteries you might purchase and multiply the life of each battery by two or three times you will understand what a tremendous cost saving the BLS Battery Reviver offers!
12. How can I tell if my battery is going bad?
Your battery will give some indications of impending failure if you know what to look for. They are:
- Slow-starting.
- Headlights dim at low engine RPM (Revolutions per minute as in idling).
- Ammeter indicating discharge at high RPM
- Battery seems to be losing performance in any other way
13. How do I know if I have a battery in my golf cart with a collapsed plate (shorted cell)?
By using a multimeter, take a voltage reading of each battery after charge and after the batteries have cooled down (approx 2 hours). Use the reference chart below to determine if you have a battery with a collapsed plate, open or shorted cell.
Battery voltage Voltage reading
6 volt Below 4.3 volts
8 volt Below 6.5 volts
12 volt Below 10.6 volts
