How quickly will sulfation buildup occur on a brand new battery?
The rate of sulfation buildup on a battery will vary greatly depending on battery usage and condition. It will occur faster on batteries that are used infrequently but will still affect frequently-used vehicles (see next question). Also, keep in mind that even brand new batteries may already be sulfated when they are installed on your vehicle. According to a leading service manual in the battery industry, since sulfation buildup is likely to occur whenever batteries are neglected for long periods of time, it can occur in new batteries in stock as well as used ones. Sulfation buildup begins to occur the moment battery acid is added to a battery. So as new batteries sit in storage or on a store shelf, they, too, can suffer from this buildup. In order to ensure battery performance at all times, it is best if a ReNew-IT Pulse Technology product — such as Solargizer or PowerPulse — is put on your battery the moment it is installed in your vehicle.
