Troubleshooting

The Battery System performance is decreasing after installing the BLS.

The most common cause for this is a shorted or open cell in one or some

of the batteries in the system. The surrounding batteries will be improving,

but the one or two bad batteries will start to drain the good batteries

quicker, causing for a decrease in performance. Follow the instructions in

this manual to find a short or open cell, then replace the bad battery or

batteries with another used battery. The BLS does not affect the batteries

adversely , but makes it very evident there is a short or open cell in one of

the batteries .

I installed the BLS and have yet to see an improvement in the batteries.

The BLS gradually breaks down the sulfates in a battery. It will not change

the condition of a battery instantly. The amount of time needed depends

on the condition of the battery and how often you cycle the battery

(charge and discharge) with the BLS attached. Usual time is between 2

and 6 weeks with normal use, but it can vary.

The BLS drained my batteries. In order for the BLS to work, it draws a small

amount of power from the batteries. Typically, if you leave the BLS on a

battery or system without charging for more than 5 days. If this happens,

simply charge the battery or battery system. If the battery or system does

not charge, review the section in this manual "How to Revive a Dead Bat-

tery".

The LED (light) is not coming on. The LED in the Battery Life Saver is not

very bright. Cover the BLS with your hand to make sure that the light is

really not working. Make sure the connections to the battery terminals are

secure. Check to see if the BLS is connected to the proper batteries. If the

light still does not come on, please contact Customer Service.

Understanding Batteries & The Battery Life Saver

The Battery Life Saver electronic device will extend the life of any lead-

acid battery and can rejuvenate "dead" batteries to a like new condi-

tion. But how does it work? To understand the technology behind the BLS,

we must first understand how a battery works.

How a Battery Works

In a normal battery we have three ba-

sic elements: one plate made of lead,

an electrolyte of sulfuric acid and an-

other plate made of lead oxide. When

the battery is discharged, the sulfuric

acid in the electrolyte reacts with the

lead and lead oxide releasing electric-

ity, forming lead sulfate. This leaves a

watery electrolyte solution. When a

battery is completely discharged, what

is left is lead sulfate and water. When

you recharge the battery, the electri-

cal current causes the lead sulfate to

break apart. This returns the system to

the original elements of lead and lead

oxide on the plates and sulfuric acid in the electrolyte, for the most part.

What's the problem? Why do batteries fail?

When the battery is recharged, a small amount of lead sulfate maintains

its sulfate configuration (sulfate crystal).

These sulfates crystals cannot be reconverted using a regular electric cur-

rent. Every time the battery is discharged, more of these crystals are pro-

duced and the electrolyte solution becomes more watery. Like layers of

snow on a garden they continue to accumulate until you can no longer

see the garden. These crystals interfere with the flow of electricity in and

out of the battery. The battery will take longer to charge and a charge

will last less time. A perfectly good battery will seem dead because lead

sulfate has built up on the plates.
