The BatteryMINDer

®

 OnBoard Battery Restorer-

Conditioners are designed to desulfate your batteries 
while you are operating your vehicle.  The units utilize 
patented technology to produce a wide range of 
high frequency pulses known as RFP™ (Random 
Frequency Pulsation) designed to dissolve both 
old and newly formed sulfate.  RFP™ technology, 
sweeps the entire frequency range known to 
cause sulfation crystals to resonate and then safely 
dissolve them.  Sulfuric acid, the main component 
in the sulfate crystals, safely returns to the battery’s 
electrolyte.  The Specific Gravity (S.G.) of the 
electrolyte is now higher and able to generate more 
electrical energy-storage capacity than the previously 
sulfated batteries.
Additional advantages of using sulfation-free batteries 
include extended alternator and belt life, as the 
vehicle’s charging system no longer needs to work 
as hard trying to charge batteries that will not accept 

high alternator output current due to sulfation build-
up.  Better fuel economy can also be expected, as 
much lower output current is now demanded from 
the alternator to keep clean, sulfate-free batteries fully 
charged.  Lower alternator output current translates 
to lower engine level.
Each of the BatteryMINDer On-Board RFP™ Battery 
Restorer-Conditioners can serve up to six batteries at 
a time.  Thus, even large commercial vehicles, boats 
and commercial equipment require only one unit per 
system.  Units are effective on all brands / types of 
batteries, including Maintenance-free, Gel, AGM, 
Deep Cycle, Sealed, and Free-electrolyte.  Installation 
is a simple two wire hook-up to just one (1) battery 
or two (2) if using 6-volt batteries in series.  The 
units stop working shortly after you turn your engine 
off.  They do not use any power while your vehicle is 
turned off and very little when vehicle is running.
