The process of desulfation involves reversing sulfation in a battery. The lead plates of the battery are dissolved using multiple methods in order to dissolve the crystals on them. It is a process carried out to try and restore the capacity of a lead-acid battery lost due to sulfation. This procedure also enables dead cells…
A parasitic draw is the use of power by an electrical component that consumes power even after the vehicle has been turned off and the component has been disconnected. In such a case, the vehicle’s electrical system will not function properly. Battery drain can occur long after the engine has been turned off. Sometimes this…
