How Super-K Additive Works:スーパー

(1) Cause of lead-acid battery’s deterioration:
In the past, it has been said that deterioration of battery comes from deterioration of positive terminal of the battery. When positive terminal is deteriorated, charging voltage does not go up beyond 13.0 ~ 13.5V. And then, charger keeps supplying big current judging battery is not fully charged yet. It causes over-charging and damages positive terminal of the battery.

(1-a) From many years study and tests, we’ve found that
“Major reason for deterioration of battery” comes from deterioration of negative terminal.

– Deterioration comes from Sulfation of negative terminal
– “Sulfation”: Lead sulfate changing to large crystallines
– Sulfation reduces charging capacity of the battery
– “Cause of Sulfation” comes from reduction of hydrogen over-voltage.

Electron microscopic photo of Sulfation on negative electrode plate From our research, approx. 80% of lead-acid batteries were replaced and abandoned due to sulfation.


(1-b) Other reasons of battery deterioration include:

Over-charging: When electrolyte temperature is high, positive terminal is corroded and deteriorated. Deteriorated positive terminal causes over-charging of the battery.
Deep discharge: When too big current is discharged, it reduces battery charging capacity.
Shortage of water in the battery: It causes increase of electrolyte’s specific gravity, and then it causes insufficient charging.

(2)Super-K additive will dissolve within the battery cell gradually, and its main component,
organic polymer particles will be absorbed on the electrodes. Then, it works to avoid sulfation which is a cause of deterioration of battery and works to activate electrodes by breaking up large crystallines (i.e. sulfation).
Other activators/additives until now could not solve the fundamental problem with deterioration of lead-acid battery, because those additives could not eliminate sulfation.
