for tubular type batteriesFeatures & Benefits
  • Extend battery life up to 10 years when used in normally functioning batteries,
    when Super-K is added and proper charging is carried out once a year.
  • Extend battery life 3 – 5 years when used in batteries deteriorated by sulfation.
  • Batteries with 20 – 30 % remaining capacity will increase to 60 – 90 % when
    Super-K is added and regenerating charging is done.
  • Once Super-K is added, its effect lasts for one year or longer.
  • Significantly reduce battery costs, maintenance costs, disposal costs and environmental impact.

(2)Two types of Super-K Activator:
① P Type: Fast effect , General use for SLI(starting, lighting and Ignition) batteries Effervescent when charging is done with high current (Ampere), and diluted sulfuric acid may overflow. May need to adjust charging current depending on charger type/charging method.
Available in powder and tablet

② A Type: Easy to handle
Non-effervescent
Good for batteries for forklift, golf cart etc. Good for tubular type battery Available in powder (should be applied directly into battery electrolyte)

Why Super-K is special and unique ?

  • Until now, most of additives or activators for lead-acid batteries use fine powder of solid materials such as barium sulfate, lignin and carbon black for negative electrode. They are generally called an “expander”. But, none of them can eliminate fundamental reason (sulfation on the negative terminal) for battery deterioration. They only extend battery life temporarily.
  • We found that organic polymer soluble in the acid electrolyte is very effective in extending the life cycle and improving the discharge capacity of lead-acid batteries.
  • Super-K additive reduces and eliminates sulfation, and works to activate electrodes by breaking up large crystallines. With addition of Super-K additive, water and proper charging, battery is regenerated and battery life can be dramatically extended.
  • (Remarks) Super-K won’t be effective for lead-acid batteries where their electrodes and terminals
    are detached from battery cells, or severely damaged mechanically.

    Technology behind Super-K

    “Why we could create Super-K?”

    Super-K is developed by ITE (International Technology Exchange Society) Battery Research
    Institute, which is a non-profit society registered in the U.S.A. ITE was established by Dr. Akiya
    Kozawa, Ex-Fellow of Union Carbide Corporation and Ex-Professor at Tohoku (National) University,
    for the purpose of developing new technology for lead-acid battery and extending battery life.
    Super-K was created after many years of extensive research, experiments by world’s leaders in this
    field. Five researchers obtained Doctor’s degrees at Yamagata University from the co-operative studies and guidance from Dr. Kozawa and professors at four Japanese universities.

    In the past, it was common understanding that adding soluble materials into battery will
    deteriorate battery. Therefore, only additives non-soluble to sulfuric acid such as barium
    sulfate, lignin powder and carbon powder etc. were used for negative electrode of battery cell.
    Super-K organic polymer activator is the world’s first effective additive for lead-acid battery
    using polymer soluble in sulfuric acid. This organic polymer (mainly PVA polyvinyl alcohol) will
    do no harm even if it is added too much, because it will be oxidative decomposed at positive electrode
    and will be gradually reduced. Deterioration at positive electrode caused by chemical reaction of
    the additive will be recovered by charging the battery and there won’t be any harm.
    Also, the organic polymer has large size molecules and is slow in dispersion. Therefore, oxidative
    decomposition of the polymer at positive electrode takes long time like a year, resulting in long
    time effectiveness of the additive.

    How to get Super-K activator:

    Contact us today for further information and samples.
    Effectiveness of Super-K and our know-how for regenerating lead-acid battery are proven.
    However, quality of lead-acid batteries varies much in the world, and deteriorations and causes of deteriorations of batteries varies much in the world. So, we recommend you to test our Super-K activator under your environments based on instruction manual to be supplied from us with the sample.

    We have very effective product as well as excellent know-how to use Super-K and to regenerate lead-acid battery.
    We are world’s leader in regenerating lead-acid battery and in extending life of the battery !
