Claims to Rejuvenate Dead or Dying Rechargeable Batteries

Page first featured November 10, 2008

Full Disclosure:
PES Network, Inc. had a commission arrangement with Renaissance and Energenx but discontinued on Dec. 29 due to PES disapointment in the performance of the technology.

The Renaissance Charge line of products by well-known new energy inventor, John Bedini of Energenx, Inc., supposedly rejuvenate dead or dying rechargeable batteries (allegedly using radiant energy principles), saving both on the cost of replacing them, as well as saving the environment from their unnecessary disposal. Additionally, as a charger, it is said to draw less current than a traditional charger performing the same function of bringing discharged batteries up to full charge.

"Renaissance Charge is pleased to bring to the marketplace the first radiant battery chargers that radically reduce battery replacement costs while dramatically increasing battery capacity."

Note that this was not the experience of Sterling D. Allan, CEO of PES Network, Inc. and the New Energy Congress. He has been very disapointed in the performance of the R-Charge device. It turns out that the number of rechargeable batteries that are compatible with the device is much smaller than he was led to believe, and one that was supposed to work well had no change (was not rejuvenated). [Report pending shortly, probably Dec. 31.]

Although all batteries degrade over time, Energenx says that the use of this radiant (in the tradition of Tesla) charger can slow this process down considerably, resulting in energy savings and battery longevity. They say that batteries that have become useless are commonly restored to working order.

Many years of testing all types of batteries and chargers have convinced the company that there is no safer and better technology for batteries. This includes batteries used in automobiles, trucks, farm and industrial equipment, recreational vehicles, solar and wind generation systems, and emergency standby systems. While different chargers are made to be used with specific batteries, the company has found that most, if not all, types of batteries can be improved with this technology. This includes, but is not limited to, lead-acid starter batteries, deep cycle batteries, gel cell batteries, Ni-Cd batteries, and Ni-MH batteries. Testing on other battery chemistries is currently underway.

The company states that construction contractors would save money if they would just rejuvenate rather than discard their sulfated batteries. Most batteries require only a few hours to be restored on the Renaissance Charge system.

Interview

Download (10 Mp; mp3, excerpt) - On Nov. 19, 2008, 11:00 am Mountain time, Sterling D. Allan conducted a 1-hour, live interview with John Bedini as part of the Free Energy Now radio series, on KFNX News-Talk Radio broadcasting out of Phoenix, Arizona at 1100 on the AM dial at 50,000 Watts. John Bedini talks about what Tesla's radiant energy is, and how he is using some of those principles in a device that he's had available for limited distribution for 1.5 years but is now marketing more widely.

How it Works

Quoting from the site:

Although there is no solution to reconstituting a shorted battery cell, a severely sulfated battery can be "Radiantly" charged back to a near new condition. Conventional chargers cannot break through the sulfated layers that normally form through conventional charging and discharging cycles. After becoming so sulfated they can no longer be charged, most old batteries are recycled or discarded as worthless.

In the course of the development of a highly efficient energy generation system, John C. Bedini, Vice President of R&D for Energenx, has invented and patented the Bedini Motor/Generator and several solid-state battery charging systems. One common, extraordinary characteristic of all of these systems has always been the unusual benefits the battery receives while being charged with these systems.

Instead of conventional constant current or constant voltage DC charging, batteries charged by electrical pulses with specific shape, frequency, and magnitude trigger improved electrochemical energy transfer in the battery. Because of this, the life of new batteries can be dramatically extended, and the capacity of older batteries, previously unable to be adequately charged by conventional means, can be increased.

"All this [Tesla-radiant] energy is on the regular power lines, you just have to pick it off." -- John Bedini (Nov. 10, 2008)

Quoting from the site:

RC1UA: Home Battery Recharge System

"Specially designed for Ni-Cd and Ni-MH batteries, the RC-1AU also charges small lead-acid batteries. This charger will put sustaining power into anything from 1.2V "AAA" flashlight batteries to 24V cordless tool packs. Don't throw those old batteries out until you've given them a chance with this charger."

RC-2A12: 12-V Battery Revitalizer

Quoting from R-Charge.com:

Simple, compact, portable radiant charging power for 12V batteries. This charger delivers a slow, but amazingly powerful revitalizing charge. If your automotive battery's cranking power is getting marginal, leave this charger on it overnight, then turn the key. You'll see the difference.

This new compact (4 1/2"L x 3"W x 2 3/4"D) battery charger incorporates state-of-the-art radiant technology, specifically designed to be used with 12 volt lead-acid batteries. This charger sports some of the same features as the industrial chargers including automatic shutoff, anti-sparking, short-circuit protection, battery maintenance and reverse polarity protection.

Extensive testing has shown that this little charger outperforms any of the rival competition in its class. It will easily charge highly sulfated, unchargeable batteries and maintain good batteries at their peak performance levels.

There is no substitute for radiant charging, especially when the need arises for that extended run time of a deep cycle battery or the reliability of a starter battery. The thinner plates of a starter battery deteriorate rather rapidly during the course of normal use and conventional recharging. Radiant charging takes advantage of the battery's own natural conversion process to help restore the negative effects of rapid discharging, giving this type of battery its longest possible life. The thicker plates of a deep cycle battery can now provide incredible longevity thanks to this little charger's ability to keep them free from sulfation buildup.

By using the Renaissance charger as part of a regularly scheduled maintenance charging routine, the battery replacement intervals, in a fleet of electric vehicles for example, can be effectively extended.

Radiant charging provides benefits that can save you time and money, increasing your battery's life to meet or exceed its manufacturer's warranty.

RC-30A12 & RC-15A24: Industrial Battery Recharge System

"12V or 24V charger models. This industrial charger packs all the power you need to get your batteries in shape in the shortest amount of time possible. Select between two primary functions: charge and cycle to choose the proper function for rebuilding and maintaining your battery for optimal performance."

E-CAR: For Electric Cars

"Designed for nearly any 72-144V electric car conversion by an electric car enthusiast. Use it to bring those all-too-familiar dying batteries back. Maximize your range and keep that expensive bank in top shape."

Costs

"Hundreds of millions of dollars are lost every year in battery replacement costs and lost productivity. A huge percentage of this cost can be attributed to the improper charging of batteries by conventional means. A radiant charging system will actually save you money while keeping your battery-powered systems running more powerfully. With increased battery power, the productivity will be easily recognized. Charging down time and wasted energy will be significantly reduced. This could represent a savings of 30% or more of your annual battery replacement and energy costs combined."

Advantages

Recharge "dead" batteries

Applications

A few battery types.

Independent Testing

The golf cart chargers for GCS (Genesis Charger Systems) are UL Listed, and the other products will be going through this certification process, which is very rigorous for battery charger products.
