my amaron MF battery was starting to get weaker...and i just bought a battery desulfator off ebay...and after driving for 1 week....the cranking of the engine is so much stronger. i paid S$27.50 for it.

================

 

Is there any way I can get this desulfator?

 

How do I source for it on ebay?

Btw, wat is the white powder on the batt terminal? Anyone can help?

 

Its lead sulfate corrosion. Caused by leaking sulphuric acid vapor depositing and forming crystals onto the lead terminals.

If its the Infinitum (formerly known as Sulfarid) then forget it. I was contemplating on it initially until I compared specs with Nanopulser. Like heaven and earth comparison between the two. No fight.

 

Ebay-fator does not work full time either. Like that how to keep the battery in sulfate-free condition? Cuts in only at 12.5v? whats the frequency like?

 

Long time member Vtim was using it and he told me it was inoperable after less than one year. His battery died as well and had to replace it. The desulfator was hot when removed. He never bothered to claim under warranty I understand.

 

Immediately Vtim got nanopulser for his car. Have not heard any complaints from him since....

 

Another friend of mine driving golf also had the same experience with cheap desulfator from ebay (same brand). Got nanopulser after that. No complaints so far.

 

If they are cheap, its for a reason [sly]

 

You don't find quality stuff selling cheaply, do you?

It cost me S$130 including installation. Understand that prices have increased.

 

Used it for 1 year plus. My previous MF battery was predicted by my mechanic to last for 3 more months due to no brand and weak condition before my nanopulser installation. After installation, it lasted me another 7 months before I changed out this MF battery and yet it hasn't failed me then....Anyway, I changed to a new Amaron MF battery before the festive season starts and I do not want to be left stranded on the roads or inside buildings during the festive period.

If you need to charge the battery from external source DO NOT use a lead-acid battery charger as this type will not do the work, You will need to use a charger designed especially for Calcium Calcium battery.

One of our forumers has kindlly agree to charge your battery. But it will be dead again tomorrow unless after charging you go straight to battery shop to replace battery. Alternatively charge tomorrow and then go straight to battery shop to change.

 

Another way is to call AA. AA will sell you battery on the spot but you also need to join AA membership on the spot.

There are quite a few onsite dry battery replacement services. Pricewise about $130 with warranty and usually they arrive within an houur or earlier. Just google for it and call them and agree on the price first.
