face="Arial Rounded MT Bold" size=2>Over the years I have looked at the various
incarnations of these devices. I have two thoughts on this subject the first is
a cheap constant current battery charger (2Amp) left on for two weeks or more
will slowly melt hard sulfation. if that is the problem, the time it takes might
not be worth it. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=000075716-19062009><FONT
face="Arial Rounded MT Bold" size=2>My second thought is if the battery system
is designed right in the first place there will be no sulfation issues (unless
the bank is pulled down and left that way) I never parallel battery strings I
just use a single series string, if done this way there will be no sulfation at
all and battery life nearly doubles.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>I have a picture of one that burned up pretty spectacularly.
(definitely a fire starter) I wouldn't hook them up without fusing.....
<DIV>I think modern charge controllers with PWM and temp comp do the job of
desulfation adequately and safely.<BR>
