Tenacious Battery Revitalization System™ Performance and Application Results
Below are graphs using the CD-120A (12 volt
Charging/Discharging Machine).
The test subject was a new 12-v Eveready Car Battery that was fully
charged then discharged and sat for 6 days in order to build up sulfation. Note:
a new battery was used to ensure there was little to no chance of internal
physical damage.
Using the CD-120A the results were automatically transferred to a standard
laptop computer and recorded.
The 1st graph was set up as a placebo, whereby no additive was
injected into the cells. The CD-120A was set on “Full Auto” and 3 cycles of
charging and discharging were completed. There was no significant change with
regards to Discharge Time or cell electrolyte density.
The 2nd test was administered the same way
with the exception of injecting 4cc of TBRS into each cell. The Discharge
Time was returned to normal, according to the specs listed on the battery label,
and the cell electrolyte density also showed a return to normal.

When a wet lead acid battery is used, sulfation crystals (sulfate) accumulate during discharge. Due to the sulfation crystal, sulfuric acid density cannot be recovered (deterioration of specific density) when charging is completed. This is why voltage cannot be regained and the battery life is over.
Normally, sulfuric acid density is measured by specific gravity and the ideal number is 1.28 for general vehicles and 1.30 for a forklift-type battery. If this value is smaller it
means sulfation crystal is adhered to the polar plates. Due to this effect the electrical terminal voltage is lowered when in use. Also, as the reaction area is narrowed, the capacity of the battery is lowered and the operation period is shortened.
Apart from the above reason, there is also the probability of cracks at the polar plate area causing deterioration. However, this physical breakdown is comparatively few and deterioration due to sulfation is the cause in most cases. Tenacious BRS has the ability to fully recover deterioration due to sulfation. Therefore, the life of the battery can be maintained until there is physical damage to the polar plates.
According to the manufactures, the battery life for electric forklifts is expected to last4 to 5 years, depending on loads carried and production time. Currently, the Heiwa Butsuryu (Toukaiun Corp.) in Tokushima Marine-Pia (Japan) is using the batteries for 14 years. Within that group of batteries are recycled ones said to have been terminated 3 years ago. What Tenacious BRS does is recover the effective capacity of the polar plates (that are not damaged) back to its original state. Therefore, effectiveness/capacity of a new product can be achieved regardless of the usage period as long as the polar plates are in good shape.
