Battery Guard

Scientific explanation: When a battery is subjected to extreme vibration and shock, cracks occur at the interface of mechanical joints inside the battery and its cells. While some batteries are designed to withstand these forces better than others, all batteries can be damaged by shock and vibration over time. Battery failure will often be preceded by performance fading. This is because the stress of shock and vibration causes micro fractures inside the battery which reduce internal conductivity and cause a battery to have low voltage. Over time, as the micro fractures continue to propagate in the battery’s conductive components, internal resistances increase. This condition reduces the flow of amps which are required to power electrical components. Another cause of performance fading is the physical collision of battery plates as a result of shock and vibration. This condition causes a short in a cell or cells. This also, may cause a battery to have low voltage and insufficient power. Note: Clamping the battery too tightly in place and compressing the pad may decrease the pad’s effectiveness. Caution: This product may excrete oil and stain certain surfaces and is recommended for placement in battery trays or boxes only.
