I have a small “automatic” float charger/maintainer which is supposed to regulate itself and not harm my battery. So, why do I need a pulse de-sulfator/charger?
trickle450.jpg (26827 bytes)A) All other chargers are just that; chargers only. Our research indicates battery manufacturers feel that automatic or “float” chargers can cause more harm than good if left truly un-attended for longer periods. These types of automatic chargers are not “pulse de-sulfators” (as true pulse technology is a patented process), but straight line analogue chargers simply that do little more than attempt to keep batteries up to voltage when there is little or no sulfation present. Our findings show that especially when there is sulfation present, most un-attended automatic chargers tend to overcharge and eventually “boil” the acid out and thus overheat and ruin the battery they are designed to protect.
