Solartech Announces Battery Life Enhancer

4 November 1997

Solartech's Battery Life Enhancer Saves Maintenance, Improves Reliability and Reduces Environmental Impact

    LAS VEGAS, Nov. 4 -- Solartech Products Ltd. has introduced
innovative battery maintenance systems that can greatly reduce commercial
vehicle maintenance costs, environmental impact and improves performance by
extending the life of 12- and 24-volt lead-acid batteries and rejuvenating old
batteries.
    The Can-PULSE Charge Partner uses proven patented technology that reduces
unscheduled maintenance and improves battery reliability in truck and
emergency response vehicle fleets, and heavy construction equipment.
    The Charge Partner prevents deterioration of batteries due to sulfate
build-up on battery plates by maintaining the battery's optimum
electrochemical balance.  This allows the battery to be recharged indefinitely
at low current with no lost capacity as usually occurs, reducing the
environmental risks posed by the disposal of "dead" batteries.
    Installed right on the battery, this compact product releases high-voltage
bursts that dissolve the sulfate build-up whenever the battery receives any
charging current.  Regular battery recharging is required with this product.
    The Can-PULSE Charge Partner (suggested list price $CDN 199.00 or
$US 140.00) is ideal for heavy-use vehicle fleets and specialized equipment,
including city transit buses, fire trucks and ambulances, graders and mining
equipment.
    The Can-PULSE Motive Power Industrial Battery Maintenance System uses
proven technology to restore full power in weakened batteries, reduce
recharging and cool-down time, and limit damage to related electrical
components in various industrial, warehouse, mining and airline ground
equipment.
    The Motive Power System prevents deterioration of batteries by continually
eliminating sulfate build-up on battery plates and strengthening the battery's
electrochemical balance.  Clean battery plates mean batteries charge more
quickly and yield full power without the usual decline in capacity.
    This product can be installed easily on any battery or charger from 12 to
120 volts.  It releases high-voltage bursts that dislodge the sulfate build-up
as the battery receives a low charging current.
    The Can-PULSE Motive Power System (suggested list price $CDN 535.00,
$US 375.00) is ideal for material-handling equipment that demands heavy use of
motive power batteries, including fork-lifts, mining equipment, aircraft
towing vehicles and baggage belt loaders.  For technical product profiles,
