Lead-Acid Batteries exist since well 200 years. They consist from Lead, Lead-oxide end sulphuric-acid. The chemical reaction between these materials produces the current.

The real use was only possible, after Henry Tudor invented 1876 the “pasting”. This procedure consists ion putting an amorphous mass of Lead-oxide into a support, normally lead. This amorphous mass contains additives to keep it in form.

This procedure produces a structure you can compare to a sponge. Thus the surface of the plates is much larger which plays the important role in the capacity of a battery. Because of the large surface, more acid-molecules can react with the lead molecules, therefore more current can be produced.

As “Dead” one calls the condition of the battery, as soon as the battery produces non-or just a weak current. In 80% of the cases, the cause is sulfatation. As sulfatation one names the formation of Lead-Sulfate crystals.

This formation of crystals reduces dramatically the active surface of the battery.

Normal charging is not capable to crack these crystals. The result is a diminishing capacity and finally the “Death”.

This is not necessary! Here begins the MEGAPULSE-Concept.
