Under development since the early 1960's Pulse Technology has only recently been compact and cost effective enough for widespread use by the application of electronic miniaturization and mass production of the late 1990's.
MEGAPULSE uses the latest microprocessor technology to produce the applications. Whether the battery is a wet or dry cell battery, or whether it is a gel-cell battery, MEGAPULSE will deliver remarkable performance and keep the battery performing well beyond it's normal life expectancy.
What is Megapulse Technology?
Megapulse technology is defined by a distinct "pulse form"
that has a controlled rise time, pulse width, frequency and amplitude of
current and voltage.
How does Megapulse Technology work?
Megapulse technology is a patented process that suppresses sulfation
build-up on battery plates; this is a common cause of lead-acid battery
failure. Although there is enough reactive material in batteries to last for
many years, often they don’t because of sulfation build-up. In the past little
could be done, but with Megapulse that is all changed.
What are the benefits of using Megapulse Technology?
Megapulse technology ensures peak battery performance and maximum life,
that means: You save money on battery costs by maximizing battery life. You
extend interval between battery changes. You help the environment by not having
to discard batteries prematurely
Will Megapulse help other electrical components?
By maintaining batteries in peak condition alternators do not work as
hard, batteries accept charge more readily so alternator life is extended.
Healthy batteries start engines easier, so your starter should also last longer.
Will Megapulse work on Gel-Cell batteries?
Megapulse works on all lead-acid battery types including: Gel Cell,
Antimony, Hybrid, Calcium Plate and Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM).
Will a 12-Volt Megapulse work with 6 volt or 24 volt
systems?
Megapulse models are "voltage specific" that means 12 volt models
work on 12 volt systems only, 24 volt models work on 24 volt systems only
etc
Do I still need Megapulse if I run my engine every
day?
Even frequently used batteries can suffer from sulfation problems. It is
possible for a boat to develop an undercharged battery if it is constantly
driven at low speeds or left idling for long periods. In this case the
alternator cannot charge at optimum rate. The result is an undercharged battery
even though the motor is running every day. A downward spiral is created
because as the battery sulfates, accepts less charge and sulfates more.
Ultimately, it dies.
Will sulfation build-up occur on a new battery?
The rate of sulfation build-up on a battery will vary depending on
battery usage and condition. It will occur faster on batteries that are used
infrequently but will still affect frequently used ones. New batteries may
already be sulfated when they are installed on your boat, sulfation build- up
begins to occur the moment battery acid is added to a battery, so new batteries
on a store shelf can suffer from this build- up.
Does weather affect my battery?
Extreme heat and cold will increase the speed of sulfation build- up in
a battery. The rate of sulfation build-up doubles for every 10-degree increase
in temperature. It is important if your boat will be sitting unused for extended
periods of time. Megapulse coupled with a solar panel or battery charger will
prevent the normal loss of battery power no matter how long the boat sits.
How much longer will batteries last with Megapulse?
This is difficult to predict because service life of a batteries vary
depending on usage. By using Megapulse, the life of your batteries will be
maximized. There is enough reactive material in a battery to perform the energy
transfer process for many years. But sulfation build-up normally prevents that
from happening. By eliminating sulfation build-up, Megapulse enables batteries
to have maximum performance and life cycle. C.S.I.R.O. O.E.M. manufacturers,
commercial customers and individuals have evaluated Megapulse.
The answer is the same: Megapulse works!
Does Megapulse have a warranty?
Megapulse is backed by a full replacement 5-year warranty!
Can Megapulse be used on more than one battery at a
time?
Megapulse is designed to work with a battery or a bank of batteries of
up to 500 Ah per Megapulse unit. For banks above 500 Ah adding further
Megapulse units in parallel will increase the rating by 500 Ah per unit.
Does Megapulse have to stay on the battery
permanently or can it be moved from battery to battery?
Megapulse can be moved from battery to battery (minimum 3 months), but
we recommend permanent installation. Sulfation build-up happens 24- hours a day
from the moment acid is added to the battery. Although you can use Megapulse
part time, a permanent installation will give maximum result because it
eliminates the existing build- up and prevents it from re-occurring.
Will Megapulse recover a dead battery?
Although Megapulse is designed for keeping batteries in peak condition
for maximum life, in most cases when batteries are mechanically sound, Megapulse
can be used to recover batteries that will not accept and hold a charge. Make
sure the cells are topped up with electrolyte and attach an Automatic Boost/Float
type Charger, next attach a Megapulse and leave for a period of 2 weeks. Some
very badly sulfated battery plates can take several weeks to clean so you
may need as much as 6 to 12 weeks. Please note, not all batteries can be recovered.
If a battery has a short circuit, open circuit or other physical damage, it
is impossible to recover.
Is Megapulse a charger?
No, Megapulse is a battery maintenance system. It will not recharge a
discharged battery.
How is Megapulse installed?
Megapulse can be installed in minutes without special tools or
expertise; there are only 2 color-coded wires.
Will Megapulse harm my boat’s computer or
electronics?
Megapulse was tested by CSIRO and found to be safe on boats computers,
ignition systems and electronics.
Will Megapulse cause any HF or VHF radio
interferences on my boat?
If your SSB (HF) radio is sensitive (as it should be!) you will hear
some noise on some bands. For minimum radio noise, it is advisable then to
install a small relay so the Megapulse is switched off automatically when you
turn your radio on. You could also install a relay with a switch located close
to your radio or disconnect it from the battery before using your radio.
Similar problems may occur on your boat with wind generators, fridges,
autopilots, … a small inexpensive automobile relay will work best. We can
provide you with schematics and relays if you need.
No VHF interferences have been reported and no interference with
computers, autopilots or other onboard electronics has been reported.
Only manufacturer’s testing and user experience can tell if one piece of
equipment works or not! I installed several Megapulse units on a big catamaran
that had no results with another brand of equipment claiming to use the same
technology. The simple test of the SSB interference showed us no pulses at all!
Not everyone has an oscilloscope at his disposition … but the above mentioned
test is quite easy to perform with any AM or SSB radio. If friends of yours are
happy of the results, so will you be most probably J
The Impact of Megapulse on the Environment
Megapulse will help protect the environment from the hazards of
discarded lead-acid batteries by reducing the number of batteries dumped in
landfills every year. The damage caused by lead and sulfuric acids leaking from
batteries that have been disposed of is alarming. Small amounts of lead can
cause severe damage to animals and humans who ingest it. The most effective way
of reducing the number of discarded batteries is to keep them in service
longer. The recycling made in some countries nowadays is a great idea but
keeping your batteries longer before discarding them is even better!
What are common symptoms of battery sulfation?
Post Corrosion / Poor Charging / Starting
difficulties / Water Loss / Eventual Loss of Capacity / Starter & Alternator Failure / Unstable voltage /
Broken
Grids / Plate Shedding / Cell Short Circuit / Alternator Burnout
Is it worth spending the money or should I just continue
buying new batteries every few years?
Compare the cost of a Megapulse unit with
the cost of earlier replacement of your battery bank and you will see that if
your batteries last just a few months longer, you total cost will already be
even. So the risk is very small but if it works as advertised, the gain is
quite impressive!
What about customer’s testimonials?
You will find many on the manufacturer’s website … but the best is
too ask around you, check in technical user’s forums! And try to get real
experiences based on concrete facts and understanding. Before I became a
dealer, I bought several units that I tested on my own yacht and on some
friend’s yachts around me. After about 3 weeks, we all experienced some
progress in battery capacity! I sold hundreds of units and heard only good
things or never got a feed-back (or we know that people rarely write back about
positive experiences BUT they never fail reporting BAD experiences! So silence
for me is good … it means happy customers J
