Abstract

Since 1996, we have been working various activators for lead-acid batteries. Originally the organic polymer activators with or without carbon black were developed to regenerate or recover the deteriorated lead-acid batteries from its sulfation. Recently we discovered that the organic activators can be used to improve the performance of the new top class Japanese batteries, and regular and new batteries made in China, Korea etc. This paper summarised our 8 year test results for ITE activators for various new and used lead-acid batteries.
