Abstract
A method to enhance the functionality of a battery through the use of a pulsing apparatus. The pulsing apparatus configured to improve cell conditioning, maintain battery cells, and overall cell function through pulsing a selected current into and out of a battery. The pulsing selected to deliver a predetermined number of pulses to the battery. The pulses having a slew rate of at least 0.1 A/μs, a pulse width between 1 μs and 10 ms with a pulse rise time of at least 1 μs to alter a current of the battery. Preferably the predetermined number of pulses is between 100 pulses per second and 1 pulse per minute.
