What is the maintenance mode and Is the PULSE POWERTM maintenance mode a trickle charge?
Maintenance mode in conventional rapid chargers simply consists of switching from rapid charging to trickle charging. This method continues to force energy into a fully charged battery which must be dissipated as damaging heat. As this process continues, this heat will RUIN your batteries!! THE PULSE POWERTM ADVANTAGE: The PULSE POWERTM maintenance mode is automatically initiated upon completion of a normal charge sequence. The maintenance mode performs one pulse charge cycle every 15 – 45 seconds depending on the model. THIS IS NOT A TRICKLE CHARGE! PULSE POWER holds the battery at full charge without ever overcharging and/or overheating. You can leave the battery in the charging system indefinitely. This technique extends the life of the battery from 5 to 10 times. It saves money and saves the environment while ENSURING optimal maximum power (thus for example, ensuring maximum possible air time for cellular phones and two way radios).
