Sulfation in lead acid batteries takes place whenever it discharges. The fact that all car batteries are left in a state of discharge more than they are charged only increases this destructive process.
When a battery discharges, the lead from the plates combines with the electrolyte (dilute sulphuric acid) to make lead sulfate. Discharging: Pb + PbO2 + 2H2SO4 → 2PbSO4 + 2H20
When the battery...

Battery Tip:
Unknown to many, a degenerative process of sulfation occurs soon after a battery is manufactured. So even if you are buying a brand new battery off the shelf it could be already sitting there for months. The use of the Infinitum Desulfator on your new batteries are essential as they will work to prevent and remove sulfation that has already occurred. By doing so, your battery’s...

Battery Tip:
The Infinitum Desulfator work regardless of the Amp Hour (Ah) rating of the battery it desulfates. The higher the Ah, the slower it will work. However, in a context of solar batteries, this is negligible as the batteries are charged much longer and frequently providing the desulfators to have much more time to work as compared to the same application in a...
