  • Patent number: 11094967
    Abstract: An integrated system for desulfating and communicating a condition of a battery includes a desulfator that can be connected to the battery to sense one or more of a voltage across a positive terminal and a negative terminal of the battery, a current of the battery, and a temperature of the battery; the desulfator further including a source of desulfation energy that can be connected to the battery for delivering pulsation energy at predetermined frequencies and durations; and a system control for actuating the source of desulfation energy, and connected to receive data indicative of a real-time condition of the battery from the sensed one or more of the voltage across the positive and the negative terminals of the battery, the current of the battery, and the temperature of the battery, and transmit the data indicative of the real-time condition of the battery.

  • Publication number: 20190319313
    Abstract: A battery enclosure including a battery case for enclosing at least one cell in contact with an electrolyte; a positive post and a negative post connected to the at least one cell and protruding from the case; the case having a recess shaped to receive an electronic battery performance enhancement device (EBPED); and a cover that covers the recess and the EBPED when received in the recess such that the EBPED, including positive and negative leads of the EBPED when connected to the positive post and the negative post, are beneath the cover.

  • Patent number: 8129954
    Abstract: A battery charging and pulsating system including a battery having a positive terminal and a negative terminal, a charger electrically connected to the positive and the negative terminals of the battery, the charger including a controller, a pulsator electrically connected to the positive and the negative terminals of the battery, the pulsator including a controller, and a voltage measuring circuit electrically connected to the positive and the negative terminals of the battery, the voltage measuring circuit being adapted to measure a voltage across the positive and the negative terminals of the battery, wherein the controller of the pulsator is adapted to activate the pulsator when the measured voltage is at least one of (1) at or below a predetermined threshold voltage and (2) at or above a predetermined gassing voltage.
