Why Batteries Die

Premature Death ~ Why Good Batteries Go Bad

A battery is a small chemical plant that stores energy in the plates. Lead acid batteries are chemically charged with a solution of sulfuric acid and distilled water. This solution is called “Electrolyte.” The sulfuric acid enters the clean pores of the plates causing a normal chemical action.

When a battery is discharged, the lead active material of the positive plates combines with the sulphate in the sulfuric acid forming lead sulphate (crystallized state). When the battery is charged, the sulphate returns into the electrolyte (liquid state) and the cycle continues until a problem begins to evolve. The number one reason that mechanically sound batteries fail is that over time, lead sulphate crystals turn abnormally hard and clog the plates. This is a natural by-product of battery operation and sooner or later it will kill a battery. Sulfuric acid cannot enter the pores and the battery starves to death.

Around 75% of all lead-acid batteries have stopped working prematurely due to the accumulation of lead
sulphate crystals on the plates. The remaining 25% have stopped due to mechanical failures.

By simply adding a small amount of ProBat, a non-acidic, non-hazardous chemical developed by ProTec International, Inc. and connecting the battery to a specially designed charger, you can turn dead batteries back into fully functioning batteries that you can sell with a warranty. ProBat dissolves the hard crystallized sulfate on the plates allowing it to return into the electrolyte, re-establishing the batteries normal function.

Worldwide, the battery replacement market is a 17 billion dollar market. Successful Battery Doctors in a number of states and countries are today tapping into this huge market.
