TESTIMONIALS ABOUT THE RC-2A12

July 15 2008 Garage sale special for only $10 because throttle was broken and two 12V gel batteries were useless, which would not take a conventional charge. This bike costs $239 new. Maximum weight is 140 lbs. We test drove it with a 170lbs person up hills. It now works great after charging with two RC-2A12-2 chargers (one for each battery with fuse removed). Renaissance Charge, LLC R&D. July 3 2008 I have purchased two battery chargers from Renaissance Charge. The first was 12V charger model # RC-2A12-2. After the success I had with the first charger, I purchased the universal rechargeable battery charger model #RC-1AU-120. I want to thank you for your fine products. After purchasing the first charger this winter, I saw what it could do. I had an approximately 3 year old battery on my ATV. The battery would not stay charged after multiple attempts with an ordinary motorcycle battery charger. I could get the battery to start the ATV immediately after the charge, but by the next day, it was inoperable. After the Renaissance charger was used, the battery is as good as it was new. I have used it for months and it works impeccably. When I heard that the company was coming out with a charger that would charge nickel-metal hydride and nickel-cadmium, I was eager to purchase one. I was very impressed after a drill battery of mine was brought back to useable service. The battery was over 17 years old and was all but useless. It only gave a few minutes of service before becoming so weak it could not be used. I had given up on it and had laid it aside to be recycled or discarded. After using your charger, it is as good as new. It is powerful and useful. Thank you for your excellent products. I am a very satisfied customer. Sincerely, David L. Nichols Whitefish, MT May 29 2008 Been doing some testing on some 840 AH, lead acid glass batteries and 350 AH sealed Gel acid, this little charge has really improved there performance. Haven’t recorded any results of the load test but there is a big improvement. Just starting some testing on some 1680 AH lead acid glass batteries, each 2 volts battery weights over 300lbs, can’t wait to get testing the RC-30A12 on these big fellows. JPK May 8 2008 Hi rick I just got one of your RC-2A12-2 chargers and LOVE it... Thanks again for a superb product, David J. A. Mar 22 2008 I am very impressed with the charger! I had a 1,165 cranking amp excavator battery that wouldn't even hold a charge for a few hours. After charging for 24 hours, I connected it to my Sun Danzer refrigerator. It has been running 3 days and the voltage is still 12.5! Timothy Martin Parishville, NY Mar 13 2008 My car for several days was losing power on several electric functions like the lights and heater, etc. Finally one cold day the car could not start. The RC-2A12-2 charger was then used for one night restoring my battery to a useable condition. Forty days later I have not had any of those problems, even in extremely cold conditions. Dan Ruthven Goshen, IN Mar 12 2008 Just an update for you. I recently came across a 12volt deep cycle marine battery that was showing .09 volts across the terminals. Even my Rennaissance Charger saw it as a dead short. I took a good battery and piggybacked it with the dead battery (see photo above). The Rennaissance showed good charging, and the bad battery did not short the curcuit because it was in parallel with the good battery. After 2 days the charger showed a full charge. Amazingly the deep cycle battery that had been shorted was at 12.5 volts. The first time I used it I discharged it at 1 amp per hour, it put out 9 amps, bringing it down to 12.01 volts. this battery had been sitting outside for 7 years, had never been charged since we had purchased the device it came in, we had never needed it before. I have been load cycling this battery for the past 2 weeks using it to power a 1 amp load, thru my watts up meter. Yesterday after the 6th cycle it had run for 24 hours, putting out 1 amp continuous and was at 12.14 volts. As of yesterday resting voltage is 12.86, it charges in 12 hours or so on the rennaissance charger. Each cycle has brought the battery to a higher capacity. I can now run my 1 amp load 24hrs straight with 1 battery. Tom Childs Feb 08 2008 Have 50 out of the 80 batteries recharged and working great. I did some on my Bedini 4 coiler hooked 6 in parallel along with a 135 ah deep cycle battery, worked great. The majority of them I have done on the powerful little radiant charger with 10 to 15 in parallel along with a car battery. All of them were at 5 to 6 volts when they were taken out of the battery backup unit and needed a good battery in parallel with it to turn on the charger. . . Load tested a few of them after a few cycles and they are right back up to their rated 9ah's; and they hold their charge really good. The Renaissance Charger is a great charger. Say thanks to John for me. Keep up the good work. It is a small step in the right direction in helping to save this planet and take back the control from those raping this earth and blinding the minds of the whole world from this energy truth as well as spiritual truths. See attached picture, only 30 batteries to go. Jack Jan 19 2008 11 Charge/Discharge Cycles Completed on Renaissance Charger. See my latest results with the 12 amp hr SLA 12 volt battery. To say I am happy with the renassiance charger is the understatement of the year! I hope to do 18 cycles on the battery and call it a wrap unless it still significantly is improving as it still is now. Dec. 15th 2007 Just wanted to let you guys know that I received the radiant charger and have put it to work about 100% of the time I've had it already. I had an old group 58 battery that was bone dry and 0.00 voltage. I added distilled water to all the cells and took it to Autozone to have them "quick charge" it up but it kicked off on the machine after 5 minutes due to high amps on three tries. They guaranteed me it was a bad battery. This quick charger was enough to get it to 11 volts so I was happy that now I could use the radiant charger I purchased from you. I put it on and successfully charged up the battery to 12.5 volts in 12 hours. I let it sit dormant today and it ran down to 12.3 volts, I have put it back on the charger again for another 12 hours. Its happily clicking away inside. :) I have no doubt that this charger will save many more batteries like this and thus far its saved me $50 on that one battery. My group 65 battery in my pickup would only charge up to 12.53 volts and was slow at cranking. The radiant charger is happily working its magic on it as well and easily charged it to 13.2 volts and it fires off quickly now! I'll give you guys more definitive quantitative data and less subjective data once I have the CB2 load tester. Thanks, Chris A. from Huntsville, AL Dec. 16th 2007 I was waiting for my truck's battery to finally die so I could test the charger on it. As the cold weather came in it was harder to start. The other day it didn't start as it was below freezing. So I got the charger out for an opportunity to test it in a real life situation. And a few hours later the battery got a second life with only one charge. No problem starting it now in weather 10 degrees lower than that day. I expect to do this every six months or so for many years to come. Rick Friedrich Manager, Renaissance Charge, LLC. Oct 10, 2007 ... With the Renaissance First Gen charger, my results are very positive. I Successfully revived 2 car batteries... (I have run it at 100% Duty Cycle since then, no problems). So I decided that I would hopefully add value to the data taking process by using the commercial professional product and restore some batteries in the process as claimed. Well I will say that there were times when I was starting to question myself for buying a $200 battery charger. But I pressed on and was most delighted, I have the print out slip from the Sun VAT45 battery tester which tested my 575CCA battery at a 580CCA rate and gave a state of charge report of 100%. ... I am a firm believer now...Thanks, Francis Seattle Oct 8, 2007 I have been making good progress on testing the RC-2A12-1. This little beauty has been going night and day for over a month now. It has been able to revive some junk 55Ah and 80Ah gel cells (after adding a little de-mineralized water to them), as well as charging up 12 x 130Ah deep cycle/marine lead-acid batteries. ... All the best, ... Oct 6, 2007 I have been professionally charging batteries of all sizes for more than thirty years. I have even been a maintenance engineer in a battery factory and I have never seen any charger do what the Renaissance charger can do. I am doing a side by side comparison with a standard trickle charger against the Renaissance charger using two identical batteries bought at the same time and applied to a common marine application running until replaced due to batteries only being at 40% capacity due to sulfation. I borrowed the twin 50 Ah deep cycle batteries from my NAPA distributor's recycle pile for testing. The capacity was confirmed by a NAPA battery analyzer. After six charge discharge cycles I have found the Renaissance charger to use only half the amp draw as the standard trickle charger and the Renaissance charged battery last longer and longer each discharge cycle; at last count it last 3 hours and 10 minutes longer with same load applied. Let me break it down for you. It cost me half the money compared to the conventional trickle charger to get 3 hours and ten minutes longer charge and I expect much more after 12 charge/discharge cycles based on previous testing experiences. I will report again after the 12 cycles are complete... Oct 1, 2007 I own a rennaissance charger. I have been using it for close to 2 months, using it to restore a pair of trojan t125 batteries wired in series so the charger sees 12 volts. at the beginning of my process testing this charger I purpously chose to test the charger on batteries I knew were not good. all of the cells in one battery would not go above 1.200 specific gravity and the other battery had 1 cell that was dead, below 1.100 specific gravity, and would not come back. the dead cell had that dirty muddy look in the electrolyte you get from a bad cell. both of these batteries had been force charged with a christie charger, and equalized with a computer controlled electronic 30 amp charger. I have a fleet of vehicles that use these batteries, I maintain 80 of these units on a weekly basis and have done so for over a decade. I began charge/discharge cycling, at first I was disapointed, but after 2 months of charging each time until there is no change in the specific gravity, then drawing down with a 12 amp load (3 automotive headlights) thru a "watts up" meter that logs watt hours and joules, these batteries have come to life, and actually are getting stronger, producing more work. each time I cycle them down to the same voltage. resting voltage after charging and allowing a day for sag, is above 13.5 and specific gravity is above 1.310 in 5 of the six cells. as I continue to use this little charger, I am confident I will be able to restore more batteries, and when their big charger comes out, I will be buying it too, so I can charge and desulfate more batteries at a time. restoring these two batteries that I could no longer use, saved me almost 200 dollars, the cost of replacing them. my little charger is working wonders!! Tom Tom's starting testimony: Rick, just thought I wuld take a minute and let you know what I am finding out about this charger. I picked 2 trojan T125 batteries in series as my test set. these batteries had been pulled because they were only holding charge at about 50 % 5 cells were well below 1200 on specific gravity, and 1 cell was completely shot, would not even float the needle. standard charging would not bring that cell back, or push the other cells above 1200 specific gravity. FYI any cell below 1100 is considered dead, 1300 is fully charged when new. cell 1,2,3, is battery1, cell 4,5,6 is battery 2 After the first charge cycle, which took 2 days, and 1 day of resting the cells measured specific gravity as follows: cell 1 -1275 (this cell started to respond on the first cycle) cell 2 - 1200 cell 3 - dead cell 4 - 1250 (this cell started to respond on the first cycle) cell 5 - 1200 cell 6 - 1200 I decided to hit the batteries again without discharging, because that 1 cell was dead. the second charge cycle took 30 hrs, cells read as follows. cell 1 - 1290 cell 2 - 1200 cell 3 - 1275 (this cell was previously dead!) cell 4 - 1265 cell 5 - 1275 cell 6 - 1290 (this is almost a completely restored cell) I decided after this I would do a run cycle using an 12volt h5001 car headlight, draws between 3.9 and 4 amps. I hooked up my watts up meter so I could watch the batteries cycle down. I ran for 24 hours, and recorded all parameters that the unit displays. in 24 hrs the voltage dropped from 12.29 to 11.73, which is not much, 21.194 Amp hours and 1035.8 Watt hours there are a lot more readings coming off of the watts up meter, but I will save those for the end of my test cycles when I will publish all the results. hopefully I can figure out how to get joules out of all the numbers this meter is giving me. cell gravity after 24 hr run: cell 1 - 1220 cell 2 - 1125 cell 3 - 1120 (this cell did not die! was expecting it to go to zero) cell 4 - 1200 cell 5 - 1200 cell 6 - 1200 I am hoping to see a balancing of the cells when drained, and the capacity of each to go above 1300. I just built a better test jig with 3 of the halogen headlights, so we will see 12 amp draw instead of 4, so hopefully I can do some more seroius drawing down of the cells. as a side note, and this may be because of the low charge rate, I have not had to refill the cells with any distilled water, and during charge and discharge I had a thermocouple attached, the battery never went up in temperature more than 1 degree C which is normal ambient temp change becouse of environment. VERY EXCITING!!' Tom Childs "I am on charge cycle 4 with my rennaissance charger, batteries are already 25% better than before." "Rick I want to do more testing but from what I have experienced with the rennaisance charger-it is a SUPER WINNER! On one of my batteries, I saw a 15% increase in runtime using a load over just the last charging. I am really impressed and really am impressed. Keep up your good work! ...." Partial Reclaiming of old sulfated Daimler Chryler Corp. 500 cold cranking amps Here are the results of the tests I ran: I picked up this old sulfated Daimler Chryler Corp. 500 cold cranking amps from Auto Zone. Their battery tester indicated standing voltage of 11.20, but under load it dropped instantly to 2.50. Obviously, a worthless battery. 8/20/07 Started my independant testing using a Renaissance Charger 2A12. 8/20/07 Test 1: After first charge cycle, the battery read 12.67 standing voltage; it operated under load of 75 watts for a duration of 1.49 min. and the inverter dropped out at 9.74 volts terminating the test. 8/21/07 Test 2: After second charge cycle, the battery read 12.51 standing voltage; it operated under load of 75 watts for a duration of 5.0 min. and the inverter dropped out at 9.70 volts terminating the test. 8/21/07 Test 3: After third charge cycle, the battery read 12.68 standing voltage; it operated under load of 75 watts for a duration of 8 min. and the inverter dropped out at 9.74 volts terminating the test. (okay ... so we gained 3 min. Nothing earth shattering.) 8/22/07 Test 4: After fourth charge cycle, the battery read 12.50 standing voltage; it operated under load of 75 watts for a duration of 5.09 min. and the inverter dropped out at 9.74 volts terminating the test. (At this point I am thinking that the battery might be damaged or that the charger is not capable of actually restoring a battery like this. But I figured I would run another test.) 8/22/07 Test 5: After fifth charge cycle, the battery read 12.57 standing voltage; it operated under load of 75 watts for a duration of 7.11 min. and the inverter dropped out at 9.72 volts terminating the test. (Maybe it is just fluctuating due to the desulfation process. Will keep runing tests.) 8/23/07 Test 6: After sixth charge cycle, the battery read 10.96 standing voltage; it operated under load of 75 watts for a duration of 170.45 min. and the inverter dropped out at 9.75 volts terminating the test. ( Now this is what I am looking for! 100 MINUTES and STILL RUNNING UNDER LOAD. keep checking back on it and it is just going and going. This is INCREDIBLE! 170.45 min total. Will do one more cycle just for kicks.) 8/24//07 Test 7: After seventh charge cycle, the battery read 10.58 standing voltage; it operated under load of 75 watts for a duration of 166.01 min. and the inverter dropped out at 9.74 volts terminating the test. (I think I have just validated the claim here. This little charger, however small and undersize it may seem is really quite a workhorse! In just 6 cycles it has restored this battery to a remarkable level. I might add that the battery has maintained its charge for several days, no fluctuation. Seeing is believing. These kind of results are unheard of! I definately believe there are huge savings to gain using this technology. I am also looking forward to see what other products Renaissance Charge will unveil in the future. So far they are everything that they claim to be and more.)

It appears one of the cells was shorted, but you can see the gain in the other cells which allowed this battery to be used for a deep cycle application. RC, LLC.]
