Pulse technology battery charging

[Lynn]

Check out Post #17 in this thread.

Kurt mentioned a pulse technology charger from this company:

I really don't need a 12 station charger (on second though, maybe I do).

Was wondering if this is really that much better for long term trickle chargers, as well as bringing back a sulphated battery.

It works!!

I find the batteries last much longer with the pulse chargers and yes, they can revive some batteries as well.

Thanks.


Found that same model on Ebay brand new for $139.

I have one of the pulse chargers and seem to work well

I have a 2 battery Battery Tender and rotate it between 6 batteries all winter. This might be a nice addition.

I offered $122. He countered at $139.99; and I accepted.

Lynn, do you have it yet ? I went back and read more and am a little confused. It says it can charge 12 batteries at a time, but the pic shows only 3 sets of cables coming from 4 ports ?? By reading more, I assume each port charges 3 ? Strange pic then, indicating a person would get enough cables to charge all 12.

[Lynn]

Was wondering the same thing. Figured I was still OK if it will only handle four. I suspect they want you to tie three together some way and that each set of clips can handle up to three batteries.

I have tied two together (and one of my British cars has two 12v batteries connected in parallel) and used a trickle charger before and that works fine.

Will post a pic of the instructions when it gets here.

That pic certainly shows what I was thinking, it needs 4 cables, each charging 3 batteries. Hopefully it comes with all 4 cables, since that is what they talk about.

Waiting to see what you get, Lynn. If it comes with 4 cables, I'll go get one too...:biggthumpup:

I've had really good luck with this unit from Battery Tender. It maintains 10 batteries at a time. We bought these 3 years ago and have zero issues to date. We have 3 of them to maintain 30 deep cycle batteries for a sporting clays course we built at the local Boy Scout camp.

I can post pics tonight. The unit has four ports, or female multi-plugs.

Each of those ports supports three sets of cables (six total cables, three pos and three neg.)

So, there are no extra wires needed. 12 sets of cables to charge or maintain 12 batteries simultaneously.

First pic is in the box.

Second pic is hooked to five batteries. Will report when / if done charging.

The four huge batteries in the back row are out of a couple of floor scrubbers I purchased at a surplus sale. OTHER THAN dead batteries, they both work fine; just need a few maintenance items.

I can probably get away with much smaller batteries, but if I can get these to work, all the better. The black ones (Duracell) cost about $320 each, the brown ones (Trojan) cost $410 each; so figured it was worth the gamble. There is no "magic" to either one, so could buy the cheaper ones, but would rather not. I could also go with a couple of Optima yellow top, and save some money. These are designed to clean up to 92000 square feet on a single charge. I won't ever clean over 2900 feet at a time.

Thanks Lynn that’s what I needed to see was the 4 sets of cables being included.

[Too Many Projects]

Well, that's my timing in life. Got home from SCR and went to buy this and he's sold out...:rolleyes2:

[Big Block Bill]

I tried buying 2 for as high as $139.95 each, and he declined both offers. I guess he didn't want to negotiate so I purchased mine on Amazon for $5.00 more over his $149.95 selling price and was done with it. Looks to be a unique charger. I hope it lasts.

Thanks Bill, I did a search yesterday and all the links to amazon that came up were higher. Found the one for $155 and have it coming.:biggthumpup:

I think thats a great price, but I would just want to know if it works and lasts. Most multiple trickle chargers are expensive like $900.
Seems to good to be true.

Still waiting on that report... LOL
I did get one too and it is charging 3 batteries. I found my missing NAPA battery for the '66 Chevelle under the hood of my Camaro. I don't remember putting it in that car, but must have when I moved it to the shop, almost 2 years ago and yes, it was stone dead. The pulse brought it back, but I haven't tried it in a vehicle yet.

[Lynn]

Brought one back from the dead.
Jury is still out on the two huge batteries for the floor scrubber. They weight 106 pounds each.

[Lynn]

I would give up on this, but every time it stops charging and says "full" I let it sit overnight, and the voltage is coming up just a little every day. I am using a 24 volt pulse charger on the two floor scrubber batteries as, that is how I will need to charge them once installed. Voltage after an over night rest was about 16v when I started. Up over 22v now. Not in a huge hurry (darn good thing!!!!) so will give it some more time. These batteries are about $600 a pop; still hopeful.

The other two are a lost cause.
