Battery De-Mister from Thermoil Co. is a patented battery oil additive that when added to any non-sealed lead acid battery claims to increase batteries life while reducing the battery’s need for maintenance. When a battery is charged that has Battery De-Mister in it, the hydrogen and oxygen gases migrating to the surface are slowed by the oil, virtually eliminating the acid mist and fumes generated in the charging process, the company says. With virtually no mist and much less gassing, the battery top is said to remain free of acid deposits, while greatly reducing water consumption, toxic fumes, explosion. This is said to eliminate post and cable corrosion while reducing current leakage across the battery cover.
The oil is made of a combination of severely hydro-treated naphthenic base oils and hydrogenated polyalphaolefin synthetic oil coupled with an ashless non-acidic rust inhibitor. Incorporated in the oil are an amine-type anti-oxidant and an olefin copolymer type viscosity modifier. This base oil mix servers to eliminate polar sites, so the oil does not attach itself to the plates of the battery, thereby preventing the battery from premature failure during deep discharge cycles, the company.
