Problems


Standard Conventional Formation Technologies


  • Uneven formation of cells 1 and 6 versus cells 2 - 5

  • Micro-shorts from discharging prior to current

  • Excess energy needed due limitation of water-cooling

  • AGM batteries require time-consuming vacuum filling

  • Ventilation needed

  • Possible fire or explosion danger

  • Waste of acid for 2 shot formation

  • Acidic vapor loss plus water bath evaporation
