Because AccuLifting will extend the useful life of your battery, you will not only makea better use of your money, but you will also contribute to decrease the land fill and environment waste.

You will reduce the environmental lead waste and reduce the waste handling costs by

increasing utilization rate of your batteries.

How does Acculifting work ?

Acculifting lead acid battery regenerator / rejuvenator

Acculifting is a special chemical agent that helps lead sulfate ions, strongly bound to lead plates,to be dissolved, leaving clean plates.

The consequence is a dramatic internal resistance reduction and a reduction of the 'gassing' effect when recharging the battery.

When the internal resistance is reduced, you can get more power out of your battery, just because a high resistance will limit the current drawn from the battery.

Most battery charger cannot 'see' that resistance increase because they are driven by voltage to evaluate the battery state of charge. (SOC)

In order to achieve that result, you have simply to pour a little quantity of AccuLifting in each battery cell, within the existing acid. A chemical reaction will immediately startwhich will remove the existing sulfate and prevent new deposits.

What's the necessary equipment ?:

A battery charger, AccuLifting, demineralized water to refill the cells if necessary and a syringue(min. 5 ml) without the needle.

Battery inspection :

Unfortunately all sulfated batteies cannot be systematically regenerated :

Before any attempt to revitalize a battery, please carrefully inspect that battery :

If you see that the battery container is somewhat swollen, that means that the battery is likely heavily sulfated or has been overheated. In either cases, the consequence is that the plates are likely worn. After the AccuLifting cleanup process, one or more cells will likely be in short circuit, because the insulating sulfate layer has been removed.

Also, do not attempt to regenerate batteries if any of the following applies :

When there is evidence of cracks or damages to the battery container.

With non lead acid batteries.

When the voltage remains low after a recharge, i.e. les than 10 Volts for a 12 Volts battery

When there is evidence of acid leakage.

When tap water has been used to refill the cells. (only use demineralized water)

When a cell voltage remains low or acid boils under load. (short circuit)

With jellified batteries (Gel electrolyte)

Before getting any further :

Carefully cleanup the battery and dry it in order to avoid any possibility to introduce strange matters into the cells when pouring the AccuLifting or water.

Cleanup the battery terminals.(use sand paper)

Refill the cells, if necessary, using only demineralized water.

The electrolyte level has just to be sligthly above the plates level.

First recharge the battery:

Recharge the battery during a few hours, depending on the battery capacity.

Disconnect the charger and let the battery rest during at least one hour.

If the total battery voltage is lower than the number of cells multiplied by 1.45V, it is likely useless to attempt to regenerate that battery.

Indeed, at least one of the cells is in short circuit.

(Please note that the battery can also be recharged with a vehicule generator.)

Directions for use:

Remove all cell caps and dose an equal amount of AccuLifting in each cell.

Please note that you can use the AccuLifting bottle cap to dose 5 ml of AccuLifting.

Use the following dosage rules:

Battery capacity in Ah Dose per cell
>120Ah 8-10 ml/l (Deep Cycle, traction)

120 Ah 4 ml

100 Ah 3 ml

80 Ah 3-3 ml

60 Ah 2 ml (standard car battery)

40 Ah 1-2 ml
20 Ah 1 ml (mower type battery)

Note :

After having added the appropriate quantity of AccuLifting in each cell, allow 3 to 5 Charge/Discharge cycles for a maximum effect.

In case of deep sulfation, it can take one month before a complete battery regeneration.

(see bleow the quick process)

The effect of the AccuLifting treatement will be to reduce the "gassing" when recharging the battery and increase the battery current sourcing capability under heavy loads.This can be verified using car lamps to load the battery and verify its capacity.

On deep cycle batteries there is usually an access to each cell terminal, so that it's possible to verify how individual cells are recovering their capacity.

The user can verify that there is a voltage increase of about 0.1 to 0.3 V per cell after the application of the AccuLifting in each cell and also that the voltage drop under load has decreased due to a lower battery internal resistance.

The user can also verifiy that the voltage is better equalized between the cells.

Quick process.

Due the battery weigh and the acid, the quick process is more dangerous than the normal process. For that reason the quick process should be performed only by professionnals with the adequate equipment.
(please use the described individual protections.)

- Empty each battery cell. Keep the acid in a safe place.

- Heat up water for an equivalent acid quantity, up to about 60°C.

- Include 20-30% of Acculifting in the hot water

- Fill up each battery cell with the mixture.

- Leave the battery with the mixture for a few hours and shake up the battery from time to time.

- If it's possible to heat up water 2 or 3 times, do it, as it will accelerate the process.

- Empty each battery cel. It's not necessary to rince the battery except if you observe an important deposit.

- Fill up each battery cell with the original acid. Check the level.

- Completely recharge the battery.

In all cases, it's better to anticipate the battery degradation by dosing the AccuLifting as soon as there is evidence of a battery weakness.
