Interesting. Thanks for the explanation.


BTW ... the "reconditioning" mode on these chargers do not supply a steady
voltage. It pulses on and off at a programmed frequency to help burn off
the insulating layer on the plates. There's another term for doing this
that is commonly used other than "reconditioning" but I'll be dipped if I
can remember what it is at the moment.

Hi Eisboch,

Another term is "pulse charging". Equalization charging can be used
to also clean up some sulfation on wet and some AGM VRLA batteries.
For more information on sulfation, please see Section 16 in the Car
and Deep Cycle Battery FAQ on www.batteryfaq.org and for charging and
chargers, Section 9.

BTW, Vector was purchased by Black and Decker a couple of months ago.

Kindest regards,

BiLL.......
