Answers to: Battery still alive! Four more years in use than originally set and still working excellently.
Thank you for your interest and queries about the article on closely monitored battery in Continental. Most of them are answered below.

Story: The battery has been treated for 5 years now. Originally, set for disposal in 2012. However, today it is in better conditions than it was in 2011 when PowerBatt was first applied.Economy: Since it is 48V 625Ah battery, it takes 9L of PowerBatt in annual dose. Which is roughly 230 EUR.Dosing: Generally, dosing is 60ml of PowerBatt per cell and per 100Ah. So, for 48V 625Ah battery it is 60ml x 48V/2V x 625Ah/100Ah = 9 000ml, i.e. 9L of PowerBatt.Application: PowerBatt is applied once a year. Simply poured into an electrolyte of battery, instead of distilled water. No other devices or equipment is needed.Composition: PowerBatt contains hydrogen peroxide, salts, organic substances and other substances that are natural for battery. When battery treated by PowerBatt, no new substances are added to battery than are already present in battery.EffectsPowerBatt removes blocking (sulfate) layers from lead accumulator electrodes, converting it back to a recyclable form thus enabling further charging and use of the accumulatorsThe conductive particles dispersed in the acid solution and in the sludge layer, which cause self-discharging and short circuits, are converted into a non-conductive state, thus eliminating the self-discharging and short circuits.PowerBatt initiates the active material of the lead accumulator electrodes to increase the intensity of the electrochemical processes.PowerBatt modifies and reinforces the structure of the lead accumulator electrodes, enhancing its surface and maintaining it in good condition by reduction of sludge generation. The enhanced surface enables stronger starting currents at low temperatures.
