This invention provides a number of phosphorous and arsenic reducing agents to eliminate gas formation and polymerization of Li/MnO and other lithium cells caused by the formation of dialcohol. The phosphorous reducing agents when added to the Li/MnO and other lithium battery electrolytes cause the phosphorous compound and alcohol to react and produce ether and orthophosphorous acid, which prevents gas formation and the polymerization of Li/MnO cells caused by the formation of dialcohol. The preferred reducing agent is phosphoric acid tri-ester. The arsenic reducing agents when added to the Li/MnO and other lithium battery electrolytes cause the arsenic compound and alcohol to react and produce ether and orthoarsenic acid, which also prevents gas formation and the polymerization of Li/MnO cells caused by the formation of dialcohol. Similar reactions and effects are also achieved with numerous other useful phosphorous and arsenic compounds that react with alcohol to produce ether and related acid compounds.

Prevention of polymerization in Li/MnO2 organic electrolyte electrochemical systems

A lead-acid (SLI) battery desulfator which is powered by the batteries wh it is conditioning when a motor associated with the batteries is off. The desulfator activates whenever an alternator supplies charge to the battery then deactivates itself upon expiration of a set time or is reset upon starting of the motor.
