The battery is the heart of your vehicle's electrical system.

Many people think that the only role of a battery is to start the vehicle. Nothing could be further from the truth.

To understand why use of battery enhancement technology aids overall vehicle performance, it is important to understand the three functions of a vehicle battery:

1. Supply power to the starter and ignition system so the engine can be cranked and started. The current required to crank the engine varies with the particular vehicle.
2. Supply the extra power required when the vehicle's electrical load requirements exceed the supply from the charging system. For example, if the engine is at "idle" speed, the battery may have to carry the current load from accessories such as vehicle lighting systems, radios, wipers, etc..
3. Act as a voltage stabilizer in the electrical system. The battery smooths out or reduces temporarily high voltages which occur in the vehicle electrical system. These excessively high voltages would damage other solid state components in the electrical system if it were not for the protection provided by the battery.

Battery plate sulfation occurs and increases every time your battery is used. It is part of the chemical reaction which takes place inside the battery.

When a battery is sulfated, its voltage is depressed. The battery ceases to contribute to meeting the demands upon the vehicle electrical system, and from an electrical perspective it "disappears".

Electronic and electrical components then receive current directly from the alternator, and are subject to extreme momentary over-voltages. This results in premature failure of electronic components, halogen light bulbs, and electronic drive train components.

Use of the Can-PULSE technology can maintain your battery in a healthy state, free of sulfation accumulation. With a healthy battery, voltage is optimum. The battery acts as a shock absorber in the system, supplying current when the charging system is overtaxed. This filtering effect guarantees "clean" power to electronic and electrical components.
