What Causes a Sulfated Battery?? All lead-acid batteries will develop sulfate during their life time. This includes the new sealed dry such as Optima, Odyssey, Exide, and Interstate branded AFM-spiral-wound types. Batteries develop sulfation each time they are used (discharged - recharged). If they are overcharged or undercharged or left discharge, some for even just several days, they will rapidly develop sulfate. Even when a battery is stored fully charged, sulfate will form unless a desulfating battery charger is used. Using or storing batteries in temperatures above 75 degrees F accelerates the rate of self-discharge and increases battery sulfation dramatically. In fact, the discharge rate will double, as does sulfation, for ever 10 degrees F rise above room temperature. WATCH FOR OUR NEW LINE OF BATTERY MINDERS, THAT PROVIDE DESUFATION WHILE CHARGING!!!!!
