Our Pulse Technology is defined by a distinct "pulse waveform" that has a strictly controlled rise time, pulse width, frequency, and amplitude of current and voltage pulse. It's the patented combination of the above that makes our products so different and so effective.

Pulse Technology is a unique, patented process that substantially eliminates sulfation buildup on battery plates, the main cause of lead-acid battery problems and failure. It works by reversing the natural electro-chemical reaction within the battery. In the normal energy transfer process within a lead acid battery, the sulfates in the electrolyte solution (battery acid) travel back and forth between the positive and negative plates, taking on and giving off energy. As lead sulfates form on the plates during the normal charge/discharge cycles, some of the sulfates will root to the plate and enlarge to the point where they will no longer accept or release energy.

Over time these sulfates can build up until battery efficiency is reduced and the battery finally ceases to function. Although there is actually enough reactive material in a battery to keep it working for many years, in most cases it doesn't because this sulfation buildup prevents the process.

In the past, nothing could effectively be done to stop sulfation buildup and related problems. Our patented Pulse Technology changes all that. This technology is a process that removes excess lead sulfate deposits from the plates and converts them back to active electrolyte.

When used regularly, PulseTech's battery charging and maintenance systems will also help prevent the lead sulfates from building up again, effectively extending battery service life.

The main benefit of Pulse Technology is to ensure battery performance so you can rely on your battery any time you need it. As we said above, by cleaning the battery plates our unique Pulse Technology provides the following benefits:

-Get better performance by maintaining maximum battery efficiency and reliability.

-Save money on battery costs by extending battery life dramatically.

-Helps batteries charge faster and maintain greater reserve capacity so they can provide more available power to your vehicles and accessories.

-Help protect the environment by not having to discard batteries prematurely.

It's difficult to determine an exact length of time because service life of a battery varies depending on usage. One independent report stated that Pulse Technology could theoretically "make a battery last forever", but, obviously that's a little hard to prove. By using Pulse Technology, though, the life of your batteries will be extended dramatically. Keep in mind that there is actually enough reactive material in a battery to perform the energy transfer process for many, many years, but sulfation buildup has always prevented that from happening. Now, by preventing — and even removing — BMMS products enable batteries to fulfill their true potential — in performance and life cycle.

Yes. Independent scientific studies by researchers at two major universities have confirmed that our patented Pulse Technology does provide exceptional benefits to all types of lead-acid batteries. These studies were conducted in response to a request from the scientific and engineering communities for scientific validation of claims that our technology actually improves battery efficiency and lengthens battery life.

Results of the studies confirmed that several significant improvements in lead-acid battery performance are attributable to our Pulse Technology. These improvements are caused by the effect of our exclusive and patented Pulse Technology in reducing the buildup of lead sulfate crystals on lead-acid battery plates.

During these studies, these crystalline buildups were regularly investigated by X-ray diffraction methods. The X-ray diffraction data confirmed the positive effects of pulsing on the battery plate morphology because it shows more even distribution of lead sulfate crystals over the surface area of the battery plates.

It also revealed a significant reduction in the size of the lead-sulfate crystals. These microscopic changes greatly improve a battery's ability to accept and store more energy. Because they store more energy, batteries are lasting longer between recharges, and they are capable of providing more available power than batteries not using our technology.

The effect of the pulsing on the formation of these crystalline structures also increases the battery's durability. Pulse Technology prevents sulfate-induced corrosion that is the primary cause of shedding of active material. By helping to prevent shedding, the average life span of the battery can be increased dramatically. Tests show that it is possible to get three to five or more times as many cycles from pulsed batteries than non-pulsed batteries. As a result, even batteries on frequently-used vehicles and equipment will receive significant benefits.

The internal resistance within a battery is a function of the electro-chemical reaction that is taking place. You would not want to interfere with this, as it is part of the energy transfer process. However, you would want to offset the negative impact of this process, which is exactly what our patented Pulse Technology accomplishes.

By using our patented Pulse Technology to desulfate a battery on a daily basis, the battery will perform better, last longer, be more dependable and have more available energy for your use.

We expect you to recover 70%+ of your 'dead' batteries. It's important to remember that batteries with physical damage cannot be recovered.

Yes, the charge stations operate in isolation from one another allowing any combination of battery brands or types (VRLA, AGM, gel and flooded cell) to be recovered at the same time.

There are 5 LED Indicators next to each charging channel to show the state of the battery as it goes through the recovery process. The green light shows when the charge is complete. This is the amount of energy the battery is able to accept at this particular time. The battery may need to be desulfated longer in order to remove additional sulfate crystals from the battery plate which in turn allows a fuller charge. It is necessary to always use a 390PT or 777PT battery tester after recovering/charging a battery to view the actual capacity of the battery to determine if the battery is good and ready for installing in a vehicle.

The time needed varies depending on the state of your battery. Some batteries will recover in a few hours, but others will take several days. Proprietary algorithms combined with microprocessor controlled technology determine and deliver the precise charge rate (variable up to 6A) based on the size and condition of the individual battery. Pulse Technology is applied to each battery to remove damaging sulfate deposits on battery plates. When the Battery Recovery Charger has finished recovering the battery, the individual station LED will turn green and our Battery Analyzer will determine when it can go back into service.

The battery can be left on the Recovery Charger indefinitely with no chance of overcharging. Once the battery is fully recovered and charged completely, the Recovery Charger goes to "float mode" and will continue to monitor the battery and will come back on if needed, automatically. It will also continuously pulse the battery to maintain its full capacity. The more pulsing a battery sees, the better for the battery.

The solar panel on the Solar Maintainer System is so efficient it only needs one to two hours of direct sunlight a day to accomplish its task for a full 24 hours. This is true even if you live in areas where skies are cloudy or lightly overcast most of the time. In these situations the solar panel may require a little more time to absorb enough sunlight.

To make sure you are receiving the full benefit of Pulse Technology, make sure the solar panel is mounted in an area where it has access to as much available direct sunlight as possible. The solar panel will then absorb sunlight, convert it into energy and the circuit box will maintain and desulfate the battery on a daily basis.

No, not really. Obviously, the better exposure to bright sunlight the more efficiently the unit works. But, because of the unique design, SM accomplishes its assigned tasks with minimal amounts of ultraviolet (UV) exposure. A rule of thumb is SM requires on average one to two hours per day of sunlight to provide benefit. Even cloud cover provides UV exposure that can then be converted to energy. Common sense plays a part, the more the better, but it doesn't have to be "Death Valley" sun to be effective. The SM works extremely well even in notoriously cloudy locations like Seattle.

Installation of the SM solar panel is one of personal preference. And since the SM employ solar panels with a fully encapsulated heavy duty polyurethane coating, they are weatherproof and virtually indestructible so they can be mounted almost anywhere.

Ideally, the most effective location for the solar panel is on top of your vehicle or equipment. That way it is sure to receive the most exposure to sunlight during the day. If for some reason you cannot mount it on top, be sure to put it some place where it will receive as much sunlight as possible. NOTE: Do not mount the panel behind a windshield if it is UV protected. Since the panel is so efficient, it can be installed either horizontally or vertically, but we suggest you mount it horizontally.

PV cells generate more power in cold weather. As with most electronics, heat is an enemy. In this case heat causes resistance and a reduction in light to power conversion efficiency.

Yes, however overcast weather does cause a reduction in light to power conversion. Generally speaking in bright overcast weather conditions you would expect 50 to 70% efficiency. In dark overcast weather conditions you would expect 5 to 10% efficiency.

With the use of premium mono-crystalline PV cells that we use, you can expect 95% efficiency in light to power conversion at the 20 year use period.

The steady red LED provides an indication that there is full sunlight shining on the solar panel and that the SM is connected properly and delivering power to the battery.

This means that sunlight being delivered to the solar panel is either intermit; possibly being blocked intermittently by shade, clouds tree branches, etc. Or, sunlight is weak from either dawn or dusk or a cloudy day.

Yes, as long as you solder the connections matching all colors for proper polarity and seal them heat shrink tubing you will be fine in repairing the leads in the field without effecting product functionality. Please note that once the product is modified – the warranty is void.

Yes, the wire leads between the solar panel and the control box can be extended by a maximum of 100' as long as the extended wire gauge segment is stepped up by one wire size, you will be fine. In addition, using the same methodology as just mentioned, you may extend the leads between the battery and the control box by a maximum of 20' using stepped up wire extensions. Also, you will need to use a wire with like copper stranding, outer insulation and color, wire gauge size and quality. Solder the connections matching all colors for proper polarity and seal them with heat shrink tubing. If done as directed you will be fine in extending the leads in the field without effecting product functionality. Please note that once the product is modified – the warranty is void.

Yes, but it is not recommended. You can expect to lose ~50 to 75% in amperage output due to the UV protection and tinting in some vehicle rear windows and/or windshields. Newer vehicles usually have more UV protection then older vehicles and due to this, are worse that older vehicles in this regard. In addition your panel could also lose significant "charge time" in the sun due to the shading effect that the vehicle roof will provide to the panel at various times of day and due to the various direction that the vehicle may be facing - North, South East or West. Directly on top of any vehicle is always best if possible.

-BM 12 – Min – 9.5V, Max – 36V

-BM 24 – Min – 18V, Max – 48V

-BM 48L– Min – 36V, Max – 72V

Note: Although the voltage windows are broad to allow for charging system voltage limits, proper application of the products based on the overall battery / battery pack voltage (BM 12 for 12 V Battery / Pack connection, etc.) is required based on the design optimization of the pulse amplitude for each specific battery / configuration.

Yes, any voltage over the maximum designed voltage may cause damage and is not covered under warranty.

Yes, The Battery Maintainer uses a small amount of battery power. It continually draws power out and pulses it back in, the net draw is small – only 3 to 4mA.

Yes, as long as you solder the connections matching all colors for proper polarity and seal them with heat shrink tubing you will be fine in repairing the leads in the field without effecting product functionality. Please note that once the product is modified – the warranty is void.

Yes, as long as the extended wire gauge is stepped up by one wire size and limited to no more than 20 additional feet in total extended length you will be fine. Also, you will need to use a wire with like copper stranding, outer insulation and color, wire gauge size and quality. Solder the connections matching all colors for proper polarity and seal them with heat shrink tubing. If done as directed you will be fine in extending the leads in the field by a total maximum of 20' without effecting product functionality. Please note that once the product is modified – the warranty is void.

Yes, while it is best to connect to the positive terminal of the first battery and the negative terminal of the last battery, if there is a situation where the distance between the batteries exceeds the distance allowed by the fully extended 6' cable distance of the Battery Maintainer product, this can be done.

The Battery Maintainer is designed to take a small amount of power from the battery and "Pulse" it back into the battery. It takes roughly 2 seconds to "load" the circuit to provide the Pulse input. The complete pulse cycle (load > pulse > re-load > Pulse again) takes about 5 seconds. So, a connection of good solid integrity (bolted on) would need to be made for at least 5 seconds for the red LED Pulse indicator to begin to flash indicating that battery conditioning has begun. On an extremely discharged battery or battery pack flashing can be slower.

Well…a few things will happen… 1st - the unit will not function properly or provide the proper service to your battery and, 2nd - the red LED will come on steady (not flashing) and will slowly dim as the unit protects itself from the reverse polarity connection. The unit will not be damaged by temporary reverse connection as it is designed to protect itself. Avoid long term reverse polarity connections if possible.

The cost of installing solar depends on the size of the solar panel system needed, and the type, location, and angle of your roof. Because of this, the cost is different for each house. To get a free quote, schedule a free consultation with us at neeraj.g@compositesynergysolutions.com.

Yes. Solar is considered a long-term investment. You’re basically pre-paying your electricity costs all up front, and then reaping the benefits for years to come. In addition to taking advantage of state solar incentives, switching to solar can save you even more money.

Yes. Although, given the cloud cover, weather exposure, and time of year, the annual yield might be slightly less than what you would see in the summertime.

No. Once the system is installed, panels are maintenance-free and should require pretty much no maintenance, except for rinsing off any dirt or dust.

Unfortunately, if there is a power outage, your solar system will also turn off. Fortunately, the best way to combat this is to add a battery storage unit.

All batteries, regardless of their chemistry, will self-discharge. The rate of self-discharge for lead-acid batteries depends on the storage or operating temperature. At a temperature of 80 degrees Fahrenheit a lead-acid battery will self-discharge at a rate of approximately 4% a week. A battery with a 125-amp hour rating would self-discharge at a rate of approximately five amps per week. Keeping this in mind, if a 125 AH battery is stored for four months (16 weeks) winter without being charged, it will lose 80 amps of its 125-amp capacity. It will also suffer from severe sulfation, inhibiting the plates from accepting and distributing a charge. Keep batteries maintained.

No.

No. You should never discharge your lead-acid battery below 80% of its rated capacity. Discharging below this point or 10.5 volts can damage it.

Yes. By maintaining your batteries in peak conditions, your alternator does not have to work as hard at recharging your vehicle's battery once it has started. The battery will accept a charge more eagerly and more quickly so alternator life should be extended. Plus, by maintaining available cranking amps in your battery, there will be more available energy going to your starter. The engine will turn over faster, so your starter should last longer as well.

Yes. What many people don't realize is that extreme cases of heat and cold will increase the speed of sulfation buildup and the rate of discharge within a battery. For example, when the weather starts to get hotter, the rate of sulfation buildup will actually double for every 10-degree increase in temperature. That means that if the temperature goes from 75° to 95°, sulfation buildup on battery plates will occur 400% faster than normal. So... batteries stored or in vehicles in warm weather have the potential to fail due to the build up of sulfation, much sooner than batteries stored or in vehicles in cooler weather.

Cold weather, this is a real "Domino Effect"...When it's cold outside, sulfation buildup in combination with the slow down of the chemical reaction within the battery will rob the batteries ability to provide operational power and is only exaggerated as vehicle fluids thicken due to the cold. This cold condition causes even more available power and capability to be taken from the battery to start the vehicle, so the battery has to work harder than normal to provide additional power demanded by the vehicle and as a result realizes a further reduction in voltage causing faster buildup of sulfates on the lead plates. Also, keep in mind that the battery's electrolyte can actually freeze if the battery is in an advanced state of discharge, and this could physically damage the lead plates. At 1.270 specific gravity (100% charged) battery acid will freeze at -83°F, at 1.200 it will freeze at -17°F and at 1.140 (completely discharged) it will freeze at only 8°F.

Yes. Use a Battery Analyzer to determine if the battery is a good candidate for recovery (Note: Even though the analyzer may read "REPLACE BATTERY," it could still be recoverable.) We have smart charges that will analyze, charge and recover all types of lead-acid batteries. Keep in mind that some very badly sulfated battery plates could take several days to clean. Also, not all batteries can be totally recovered. If a battery has a short circuit or physical damage, it is impossible to bring back.

By helping keep plates clean, the battery works harder than ever thought possible. It maintains a greater reserve capacity, will recharge faster and release more of its stored energy. With more available energy, battery output is maximized between charges, and electronic accessories work better.
