Battery Rejuvenating Chargers
All of these batteries can be brought back to full or even greater capacity Battery Life During discharge, tiny chemical crystals are formed on the plates of the battery. While charging, these crystals are electrolytically dissolved from the plates. If the battery is not completely recharged after each use, this crystallization increases slightly with each charge/load cycle and impedes the battery's ability both to be charged and to deliver power.
If the battery is overcharged, it will excessively heat and this can cause its active plate material to become electrically isolated, causing the battery to fail prematurely. This technology incorporates radiant charging with several innovative design technologies to minimize both undercharging and overcharging problems while gently conditioning the plates. Other advanced chargers and desulfators may give temporary immediate gains, but while they do this, they also degrade the plates (which, in the case of lead-acid batteries, eventually end up in the bottom of the battery). Today there is a revolutionary battery charging technology that does not leave you with low acid levels and degrading plates. Rather, this truly unique charging system creates a denser crystalline structure, restoring acid levels without ineffective additives, increasing capacity and maintaining cell integrity. While there are many different pulse charging systems on the market, all of which claim to provide a better and deeper charge, they still cannot compare to the radiant charge. Unlike others, these chargers, using radiant charging technology, effectively rejuvenate, in many cases, previously considered unchargeable batteries. Often these batteries are restored to near-new condition. In some cases they outperform a comparable battery that is brand new, right off the shelf.
The Technology Here you can see over time with multiple successive charge and discharge cycles the rejuvenating effect of this technology on a 12 volt battery.
Batteries
and the Environment Recycle your batteries without buying new ones. With conventional charging techniques, the average life of a liquid filled battery, depending on usage, is 24 to 48-months. According to a recent study, only 30% of all batteries actually reach the 48-month point.
Batteries are a unique product comprised of heavy metals some of which are toxic heavy metals such as cadmium, mercury, and lead. These materials can threaten our environment if not properly discarded. Improperly disposed batteries may: Batteries that end up in landfills and incinerators eventually leak into the environment and end up in the food chain, causing serious health risks to humans and animals. By challenging current battery charging standards, this battery charging technology can significantly reduce the environmental impacts of unnecessarily discarded batteries.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is "Radiant" battery charging technology? It is technology that uses intense, unidirectional wave impulses (described by famous inventor Nikola Tesla as Radiant Energy also known as Tesla Impulse Technology) to charge batteries.

What kind of batteries can be charged with these products? Our first and most popular model, the SL-2A12, is designed for 12V lead-acid starter and deep-cycle batteries. The SL-1AU can charge anything from a "AAA" battery to a large 24V cordless tool battery pack. The industrial models SL-30A12 and SL-15A24 are made for 12V and 24V batteries of most sizes. The SL-P72-144 unit works on 72V to 144V banks of 6V, 8V, or 12V batteries, up to 250AH. The EN-20AU charger is for banks of batteries ranging from 24V to 72V. Feel free to call us for advice on your specific application.
Have these chargers really restored useless batteries to useable condition? Yes. As long as the cells are not damaged and/or shorted we have been able to restore numerous batteries of all sizes. In some cases discarded batteries that were regularly charged with these chargers gained in capacity above that of a new identical battery. In many cases brand new batteries have increased capacity; in some cases two times more during the first five to ten cycles. There is no certainty as to how much restoration (and capacity increase) will take place because batteries differ in their quality of manufacture and subjected charging and loading conditions. But our experience has shown us that 80% of the discarded batteries we found we were able to put back into use.
Are these chargers hard to understand and use? No. These products are fully automated and require little understanding to work. However, in order to get best results and to work safely, users need to read and understand the owner's manuals since working with batteries can be dangerous.
How does the efficiency of these chargers compare to other chargers? This is a difficult question because of: 1) the differing methods efficiency is measured by, and 2) the wide variety of chargers that are out on the market. Most manufacturers figure their efficiency as the ratio of the power delivered to the battery from the charger vs. the power consumed by the charger. For practicality, we are concerned with a different efficiency measurement: How much power is delivered from the battery vs. the power consumed by the charger? And, how do you rate this when the battery is constantly degrading in capacity, spending more time (consuming more energy) on the charger and less time being used? If you consider efficiency as total lifetime amp-hours delivered by the battery vs. kWh consumed by the charger, like we do, the typically incredible increases in battery capacity dramatically increase efficiency. Your batteries spend more time delivering power, not consuming it in vain attempts to charge it. This does not even count the significant savings because of lower battery replacement costs. Battery charger efficiencies vary widely due to the different constructions, charging methods, etc. Unless comparing specifically to another identically power rated model, declaring absolute efficiency, even for one charge/discharge cycle, becomes only possible on a case by case basis. Generally speaking the radiant chargers consume significantly less power than an equivelant standard battery charger and do much more. Where does the energy savings show up? In the long term. With conventional battery charging, battery capacity degrades significantly with each charge. In order to get the energy out of the battery, the common practice is to place the battery on the charger more frequently and/or for longer periods of time. Since the battery cannot retain the charge, this energy is being wasted. Radiant charging reduces this energy waste by significantly improving the battery's ability to store its charge. Consequently, the battery spends less time on the charger, consuming less energy, and giving you more of the power you need.
How do I use my charger to rejuvenate batteries? Just as it took time for your batteries to degenerate, restoring the crystalline structure of the battery plates takes time. After several cycles of charging with the charger, and then discharging at a slow rate, the plates will gradually be restored to their optimum condition. The rejuvenator models SL-30A12 and SL-15A12 fully automate this process in the quickest time possible, alternately charging and discharging the battery until its most optimum capacity is reached. Although the most dramatic increases in capacity are usually seen in the first few cycles, typically a gradual increase in capacity results from the continued use of a charger.
How would I use my charger to get the maximum longevity out of my new batteries? Choose a charging routine that is appropriate for the battery. Depending on size and composition, a new battery will usually reach its maximum capacity after 2-5 cycles when being charged with the SL-30A12 series chargers. After any battery (old or new) has reached its maximum capacity, a balance should be maintained that: 1) allows the battery to be charged as gently as possible, and 2) does not allow sulfation buildup to occur. For maximum battery life, the potency of the radiant charge must be applied suitably to the battery in order to keep the above two conditions met.
Can I download the owner's manuals to products? Yes. You can download the following PDF manuals. SL-2A12 SL-1AU SL-30A12 / SL-15A24 SL-P72-144
If you do this you will void the warranty. Plugging a different voltage or amperage supply to the charger will ruin the charger. See label and manual for details.
What happens if I attempt to charge a battery that is higher or lower than 12V with my SL-2A12 charger? If you do this you will void the warranty. Using a higher voltage battery will ruin the charger; and using a lower voltage battery may also ruin the charger or may fail to start the charging process. See product labeling and manual for details.
