2. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR ME? • FINANCIAL: low cost electronic device saves money on high cost batteries & electrical equipment • RELIABILITY: Maximum battery performance Maximum battery service life WHAT DOES MEGAPULSE DO? • NEW BATTERIES: prevents sulphation • OLDER BATTERIES: reverses sulphation, restores performance c

3. WHAT IS SULPHATION? • All lead-acid batteries suffer sulphation from day 1 • It is the gradual build-up and hardening of lead sulphate (PbSO4) on the battery plates which is not reversed by normal charging • Sulphation is the leading cause of premature battery failure Megapulse prevents and reverses sulphation • Extends battery life • Improves battery performance • Saving costs • Reducing downtime c

4. HOW DOES THAT AFFECT ME? Less available power: Batteries run out of power faster insufficient power for instruments & lights electric vehicles require frequent charging WHY IS SULPHATION A PROBLEM? • Less stored charge : Results in less available power • Higher internal resistance: Results in lower current output Lower current output: starter motors turn slower and overheat battery voltage drops with increasing load electrical equipment performance degraded electric vehicles lose power & performance c

5. HOW SULPHATION WRECKS BATTERIES AND ALTERNATORS • Battery becomes difficult to charge (high internal resistance) • Battery never becomes fully charged –remains undercharged • The lead oxide (PbO) paste on the battery plates becomes soft • Soft paste falls out more quickly, especially on heavy construction vehicles where vibration aids this process • Soft paste becomes sludge which shorts out the battery • Alternators run at continuous high power in an attempt to force charge into the battery –overheating, premature failure • Battery is overheated by the high current and internal resistance (Heat = power dissipated = I2R) • Heat boils off electrolyte- frequent topping up or battery runs dry • Heat warps plates- causing short-circuit and battery failure c

6. HOW MEGAPULSE SAVES BATTERIES AND ALTERNATORS • Megapulseremoves & prevents sulphation (low internal resistance) • Battery achievesfull charge • The lead oxide (PbO) paste on the battery plates remains firmer • The effects of vibration in heavy construction vehicles minimized • Sludge formation reduced to a minimum • Alternators run as designed –not overloaded, no premature failure • Battery is not overheated, reducing • Electrolyte boiling off – less frequent topping up • Plate warping– minimizes this cause of failure END RESULT Megapulsepreserves batteries and alternators *reducing costs*reducing down-time c

7. MEGAPULSE LEADER IN PULSING TECHNOLOGY • Built-in battery tests: • Continuous LED read-out • Checksbattery voltageevery 30 seconds • 30Aload testfor 5 Millisecods every 21 hours (12v &24v model) • One Megapulse unit: • Serves a single battery or bank of batteries – usually one per vehicle • Conservative true rating: up to 1500Ah This is based on a properly defined ratio of pulse power to battery capacity. Most competing products that claim higher Ah capacity actually produce lower pulse power – spec sheet manipulation! • Rugged water-resistant design for harsh environments • Costs much less than the equipment it protects & lost producton time • 5-year warranty against defective manufacture c

8. Combines RELIABILITY withCOST SAVINGS Difficult to justify NOT using Megapulse WHERE MEGAPULSE IS USED • Any application that uses lead-acid batteries • Petrol/diesel vehicleswith starter motors and electrical equipment • Buses, trucks, construction vehicles, drilling rigs, diesel generators, fire engines • Battery-powered electric vehicles: fork-lift trucks, hoists, golf carts etc. • Solar-powered systems: wireless repeaters, emergency power, etc • Agricultural machinery • Marine: boats, yachts, ships • Military vehicles, which require extreme reliability in the field c

9. INSTALLING & USING MEGAPULSE • Installation is very simple – just attach to the battery terminals • Cable-tie unit to chassis or battery box • Check the battery condition LEDs during regular maintenance • If the battery condition warning Red LED is on: • Check electrolyte level • Check charging equipment (alternators, regulators, electric vehicle chargers) • Check for abnormal loads, especially when the equipment is not in use • Check terminals and battery clamps for corrosion c

10. PRIMARY CAUSES OF BATTERIES FAILURE • Without Megapulse: • Mostly through sulphation – potentially useable batteries discarded! • Vibration – causes sludge build-up, made worse by sulphation • Plate warping – caused by overheating, made worse by sulphation • With Megapulse: • Batteries do fail eventually from internal corrosion!! • Corrosion of metal plate grid – the natural death of an old battery • Vibration – plate disintegration and sludge, minimized byMegapulse • Mechanical failures: cracked and warped cases, broken internals c

11. BENEFITS • FINANCIAL: low costMegapulsesaves money on high cost batteries & electrical equipment • RELIABILITY: no degradation of battery performance maximum power for the life of the battery MEGAPULSE SUMMARY • NEW BATTERIES: prevents sulphation • OLDER BATTERIES: reverses sulphation, restores performance www.jenskleven.no
