Why you shouldn't use EDTA based
Desulphator additives?
Most lead acid battery additives contain
EDTA, or ethalene diamine tetra acetic acid has always been
known to dissolve the lead sulfate layer on the plates. There
are, however, two downsides to this:
- EDTA usually comes in powder form,
or as a solution. With manufacturers tending to favour
sealed maintenance-free type batteries, there is no chance
to introduce EDTA to the battery in the first place.
- EDTA works by forming a complex
compound with the lead sulfate layer on the plates. While
this removes the insulating layer, the active material that
had formed lead sulfate will not be reconverted once the
battery is charged. In principle, the insulating layer
of lead sulfate is removed; but active material,
needed for an efficient battery, is sacrificed in the
process.

EDTA reacts with the
lead sulfate to form the complex compound above. The plates are
cleaned, but active material is not returned to the battery.

Complex compound formed
by breaking the lead sulfate bond.
Battery life is ony extended
temporarily with the removal of the lead sulfate crystals and
increase of reaction surface area, but the lifespan of the
battery cannot be maximized where active material is not
returned to the battery.
Our Battery
Desulfators however, use a different process which generates
Amplitude Modulated Pulses at the resonance frequency of the
crystals to shatter the covalent bonds that hold it together.
This allows the lead sulfate to be reconverted once the battery
is charged. A battery free from lead sulfate crystals will have
its lifespan stretched to its maximum! No more premature failure
due to sulfation!
Why buy our desulphators over
battery additives?
- A reusable technology,
made to last and to be reused over and over again - you'll
only need to buy it once.
- A better technology, a true
life span optimization and not a temporal one.
- Its cheaper to buy with no
maintenance needed.
- Its easier to use - simply
install it and you're done!
- Its safer, no contact with
caustic chemicals.
