Rejuvenating Battery #5

This is Yokohama 80D26L battery. It could not last for 1 minute during first loading. It went to 32AH in second loading and 29AH in third loading. This should be 58AH battery at 5HR or 70Ah at 21HR.  It gets rejuvenated close to 50% of its original battery.

Rejuvenating Battery #4

This is an old battery from Century which is NS40 size.  It has been rejuvenated to 12AH capacity.  The charging power level is way larger than the battery capacity to give a tremendous desulfation.

Rejuvenating Battery #3

This Furukawa 46B24L NS60L (40AH) battery has only 10AH when it is first loaded. After the first charge using Bedini charger, the battery capacity increased to 13AH on second load. After the second charge, the battery shows also 13AH on the third load. So, there is only slight increase in battery capacity after the rejuvenating process. This is about 1.5 day process. (Honda car usually use Furukawa battery)



Summary of rejuvenating new battery

So far I have charged two new batteries with Bedini Rejuvenator.


  1. Shogun NS70L (60AH) Load cycles
    1. 200 minutes
    2. 279 minutes
    3. 287 minutes
    4. 289 minutes
  2. Panasonic NS70L (65AH) Load cycles
    1. 288 minutes
    2. 315 minutes
    3. 296 minutes

It can be seen that the first charge gives the best boost. After that, the subsequent cycle hardly make any improvement. In Panasonic case, the improvement is only single digit percentage 9% boost from first charge. Both Shogun and Panasonic do show 5AH difference in the first loading 200 versus 288 minutes, but the difference is insignificant in final loading 289 versus 296 minutes.

Cheap console computer for battery rejuvenator

Alright, I am thinking about setting up a cheap computer that can interface to multiple battery rejuvenators. Buying a new PC is quite expensive. But here is what I found, Raspberry Pi at USD25!!! Of course, it is not window and require to make sure if can talk through USB-serial console. But it is worth considering. May be I should buy one and try.

Multiple batteries charger and desulfator

Considering setting up a battery shop, you have many weak used batteries to rejuvenate. Buying many chargers may not fit the bill. Pulse Tech provides you with 12 batteries charger and desulfator.



  1. HD PC-12 RediPulse 12-Station HD 12-Volt Battery Pallet Charger USD3947.50
  2. SC-12 Xtreme 12-Station HD Battery Charger USD3500


Average cost per station is USD291-328. Is this anyway cheaper?
