Frequently Asked Questions

1.) Is the BLS a charger?—No, the BLS is an electronic device that is used in conjunction with a battery charger. The BLS is powered by the battery. If the battery system is used and charged regularly, just attach it and forget it. If the battery system is not going to be charged for more than 5 days, you should disconnect the BLS or use the BatterySolver Package.

2.) How long does it take to rejuvenate a battery?—The amount of time needed to rejuvenate batteries varies based on a number of factors. It depends on how bad the battery is, the number of batteries that you will be reconditioning at a time, and how often you cycle (charge and discharge) the battery or battery system with the BLS connected.
Examples:
a.) If you have a golf cart and you use 3 to 4 times a week, you will start seeing the results within the first 2 weeks. It will continue to improve to an optimal condition for another 1 to 4 weeks.
b.) If you have a badly sulfated 12 volt battery and you are using the BLS-12/24B, it can take between 3 and 10 cycles with the BLS connected to bring it back to a like new condition.

3.) Can the BLS rejuvenate my dead battery?—The BLS can rejuvenate any lead acid battery that does not have a short or open cell (Click Here for instructions on how to test for a short or open cell).

4.) What type of batteries will it work on?—The BLS is suited to work on any lead-acid battery. Various versions of lead-acid batteries include: GEL, AGM, VRLA, and Sealed. We are currently developing the technology for NiCad batteries.

5.) How long should I leave the BLS on the Battery?—To get maximum life out of your battery system, it is best to leave the BLS connected at all times. If you remove the BLS after the battery system is rejuvenated, the battery system will deteriorate as a normal battery would.

6.) Should I add new acid to the batteries?—When using the BLS, you should not add acid to the batteries. The BLS will dissolve the sulfate crystals, which will rejuvenate the sulfuric acid in the battery.

7.) How long is the warranty?—All BLS models have a 1 year parts and labor warranty. They also come with a 60 day money back guaranty.

8.) My BLS gets hot, is that normal?—The BLS does get hot when attached to a battery system that is deeply sulfated, the aluminum casing is equipped with cooling fins to help dissipate the heat. The BLS will get unusually hot if the system has a battery or batteries with a short or open cell (Click Here for instructions on how to test for a short or open cell).

9.) Do you have a 6 volt BLS?—No, there we do not make a BLS model for a single 6 volt battery. If you need to rejuvenate a 6 volt battery, connect two 6 volt batteries in series to make 12 volts and use the BLS-12/24B.

10.) My battery won’t take a charge, is it recoverable with the BLS?—Just because a battery will not take a charge, it doesn’t mean that the battery is dead. Most of the newer battery chargers are considered smart chargers. Smart chargers read the voltage of the battery, and if the voltage is too low, the charger will not turn on and consider the battery dead, which may not be the case. When using the BLS, a dead battery is a battery that has a short or open cell.

11.) My charger has a desulfator mode, is that the same as the BLS?—The BLS uses our own patented Wave² Restoration Technology. It has the ability to target and dissolve the whole range of lead sulfate crystals that accumulate on the lead plates. The desulfator mode in a charger is very similar to the technology that pulse type desulfators use. For a full explanation of how batteries work and how the BLS is different, please review “Understanding Batteries and the BLS”.

12.) Do I still need to equalize the batteries with the BLS?—No, when using the BLS, there is no need to equalize the batteries. An equalize charge sends a high amount of energy into the battery to knock down the sulfate crystals. Having the BLS connect to the battery system will keep the sulfate crystals from forming. We do not recommend this process as it prevent from getting the full benefits of the BLS.

13.) If I use the BLS, how long will it extend the life of my batteries?—If you are using the BLS on a new battery system, we can comfortably say that if nothing else goes wrong with your battery, it will double or triple the normal life.

14.) Will the BLS harm my battery?—If a battery system is not charged for more than 5 days, the BLS will drain the battery system. But this does not harm the ba
