A relatively new product to the battery charger market, the Battery MINDer is considered to be a charger with a brain. Unlike the standard battery charger, the Battery MINDer will condition sulfated batteries and will charge any 12 volt storage battery without overcharging. As most of you are probably aware, after a battery has repeated use over time, it seems to get less use out of the same amount of charging it once did. This type of result is known as sulfation, and a Battery MINDer is a charger meant to reverse the causes of early battery failure, thus allowing users to get more use out of a battery.
A sulfated battery is the result of hardened sulfate on battery plates. During a typical recharge, the lead sulfate in a battery is reconverted into lead active material and the sulfates returned to the electrolyte. When a battery is sulfated, and will not charge, the lead sulfate has become so hard that normal recharging will not break it down, and, instead, the battery will show a false voltage once recharging is done, which is often higher than the actual voltage.
The Battery MINDer comes in a standard charger design, as well as Plus and Solar charger models.
