Battery De-Mister with Thermoil® technology is a patented battery oil that will increase battery life up to 3 times, eliminate corrosion, greatly reduce water consumption, explosion, toxic fumes and will help to keep your battery working under any condition from-50º Fahrenheit to 400º Fahrenheit. Used by major industrial and commercial fleets for over 15 years, available only in 5 gallon pails and 55 gallon drums, Battery De-Mister is now available to the general public in a 12 oz bottle. Easy to use, saves time and money (longer battery life, reduced maintenance) and comes with a 100% GUARANTEE.

Battery De-Sulfater is a non-acid chemical formula which breaks down deadly sulfation corrosion that has formed on plates and insulators and restores normal action in cells. The chemicals in Battery De-Sulfater are safe for all new and used lead acid batteries. It has an indefinite shelf-life and is unconditionally guaranteed to restore, improve and prolong the life of mechanically sound lead-acid batteries regardless of make, age, or size. There’s nothing that works better, faster, and easier than Battery De-Sulfater.

Lead Acid Battery Electro-chemistry

1. A lead acid battery works using chemical reactions between two different substances to create electric current. Basic lead-acid battery design is based on two electrodes: an anode (negative terminal) and a cathode (positive terminal). These are not allowed to have direct contact, since that would create a short circuit. They are instead connected indirectly by an electrolyte a acid water based solution. Using the electrolyte as a bridge, the anode and cathode react so that positively charged electrons travel to the cathode and negatively charged electrons travel to the anode. Left alone, this operates as a circuit for electric current. When a device is connected to the battery, it forms a larger circuit, with power flowing out of the cathode and then back into the anode, minus much of the charge.

   How Do Lead-Acid Batteries Work ?

2. In this type of battery, the anode and cathode are made of lead and lead dioxide respectively. The electrolyte is a solution made with one-third sulfuric acid. As power is discharged from the battery, both the anode and cathode undergo a chemical reaction that progressively changes them into lead sulfate.

   Recharging

3. When electric current is applied to a lead-acid battery, the electrochemical reaction is reversed. When current flows into the battery through the anode, it causes the conversion of the anode and cathode into lead sulfate to partially reverse. This partial reversal to their original states "recharges" them.

   Practical Function

4. Lead-acid batteries were invented in the 19th century. While they have seen much improvement, they are still relatively simple. They have extremely poor overall power-to-weight ratio and stamina issues. However, what they can do is deliver a big, sudden charge of electricity. This potential to put out power makes them ideal for use as car batteries, where there is a need for a big, short charge to power the engine's starter. Also for slow moving vehicles such as milk floats, powered access scissor lifts, golf carts and fork lifts were weight and acceloration are not a problem.
