A method and apparatus that provides an efficient way to deposit a charge to a target battery using a small, light-weight, and disposable energy source capable of delivering a high-current and over-voltage which is substantially greater than the voltage of the target battery. The most common application for which the present invention is directed is an automobile battery. The target battery is a second battery which has plates submerged in an electrolytic solution. As the target battery discharges, a passivation substance forms on the plates of the target battery. To deposit a charge from the present invention energy source to the target battery, the energy source is electrically connected to the target battery. The energy source has an over-voltage, which is substantially greater than the voltage of the target battery. When the high-current and over-voltage is delivered to the target battery, lead sulfate coating the plates of the target battery is quickly changed into sulfuric acid which is diffused into the adjacent electrolyte. |
