Desulfators [RE-wrenches]

[Steve Bell]

Hi Travis,

I have two DS-1000's on my home system, it has a 1800 AH battery bank.
I'm using them on Concorde AGMs with no apparent problems. They do not
appear to create any problems with the two C-40's nor with the two Solar
Converters PT 48-20  MPPT controllers that are connected to the battery
bank.

I have seen them significantly improve (restore) a set of T105 batteries
that were total dead from chronic sulfation and lack of watering. It took
about 5 - 6 weeks.

One DS-1000 should be fine for 1050 AH of batteries.

Sincerely,
Steve Bell
