At the advent of crude oil more than a century ago, the idea of the electric vehicle becoming our primary source of transportation was swept under the rug since then, we have limited the deep cycle automotive battery’s potential to make the electric vehicle our primary source of transportation by designing it with only one entrance for energy to enter or to exit it. In which, it has been more than a century since the first rechargeable battery was made and yet, we haven’t realized that its cycling processes are a product of its design and not determine by the mechanics of the voltage and current alone. So; charging the battery while using it to power a load source, it’s not out of the realm of physic as some believe it to be; but, it’s nothing more than an extension of the battery’s charging process because it will be like its plates in one cell consuming and storing energy while supplying energy to its plates in the next cell; except, its plates in one cell will be consuming and storing energy while supplying energy to a load source as well. It will be the reverse engineering of the deep cycle automotive battery’s charging process because the charging electrons no longer have to flow to a load source before they are reflected back into the battery to charge it. Given that; the charging electrons have to flow into one cell in the battery before having a chance to flow to a load source, then the surplus of electrons are created in the cell with the charge and discharging terminals in it. Thus, electrons will be distributed to the other cells in the battery and to a load source based on how they are connected to the cell with charge and discharging terminals in it. Therefore; electrons no longer have to go in the battery the same way that they have to come out in order to charge it or for it to be discharged to a load source as well. In which, it’s a mechanical solution that allows energy to enter and exit our automotive batteries at the same time. As a result; we could intermittently add energy back to our batteries while using them to power our vehicles as a mechanical approach to increase the overall travel range of our vehicles on battery power without finding that perfect chemical composition to a longer-lasting battery as well.
Imagine that we could switch back and forth between the charge and discharging process of the deep cycle automotive battery without having to stop one cycling process in order to start the other. This is what my book is about; it describes in detail why and how we could charge the battery while discharging it to a load source without being impeded by the mechanics of the voltage and current. If we change the design of the deep cycle automotive battery so that energy could enter and exit it at the same time, then it will be like having two batteries in one to power a load source because we will be able to switch back and forth between the charge and discharging process of the battery without having to stop one cycling process in order to start the other. So; when our batteries get low on charge, we could send an electrical charge back to them while using them to power our vehicles without missing a beat. Here’s why; I discovered during my research on the deep cycle battery that, it’s possible to switch back and forth between its charge and discharging process without missing a beat if it has separate terminals for charging and discharging in the same cell and those terminals will have their own strap and tab connectors leading to the same plates in that cell.
Here’s the deal; if a battery’s plates and cells are connected in series with its terminal connections, then the amp draw from it will only come from the cell with the terminal connection in it to power a load source; but, voltage will follow from all the cells in it to supply amps to the load source. So; if voltage and electrons could enter and exit one cell in the battery at the same time and then with the help of a charging source, it will be possible to switch back and forth between its charge and discharging process without missing a beat because we could substitute its voltage with the voltage created by the charging source to supply electrons to a load source; but, at the same time, reversing the current flow back through the other cells in the battery to charge them because they will not be used to supply electrons to the load source, all because the charging voltage and electrons have to flow into one cell in the battery before having a chance to flow to a load source.

About the Book
What if you could charge a battery while discharging it to a load source? In Reverse Engineering of the Deep-Cycle Automotive Battery, Frank Earl argues that it is possible. Taking a different approach than he did in his first book—Miracle Auto Battery—he explains how it can be done. He also evaluates what others, including Richard A. Perez, author of The Complete Battery Book, have said about charging batteries. He explores critical topics, such as • how fixation on the chemical structure of the battery has overshadow the fact that its mechanical structure is just as important as its chemical structure when it comes to new battery technology. • what role a battery’s mechanical structure plays in its cycling processes; • why it is possible to charge a deep-cycle automotive battery even as it is powering a vehicle; and • what role reverse engineering plays in improving battery life. Imagine how different the world would be if we could switch between the charging and discharging process of the deep-cycle automotive battery without having to stop one cycling process to start the other—and discover how to make it a reality.
