Battery Desulfators
Discussion
I've just bought a kit on eBay for £15 which will hopefully keep my battery in top condition. I also intend it use it on my electric Golf trolley battery which is starting to die from lack on use.
There's plenty of info to Google about them. The general consensus is they do actually work.
Anyone here use them?

I would have thought £15 was a bit on the cheap side.
For desulphating, depending on which process you are trying to use, you need a transformer capable of supplying 20+ volts, for either pulsed high voltage or pulsed high current techs.
More expensive for high frequency or resonant frequency desulphating.
£15 sound closer to simple top up and float which isn't going to desulphate.
I have to say though despite what you read I'm not sure anything actually desulphates a battery to any significant extent.
I tend to use optimate 4's on my cars. They are about £45, but they give it a good go.

I use a battery conditioner/charger/desulfator over the winter months when the Monaro's laid up. Works a treat, car starts first time, even after 2-3 months.

ps I don't know why these are sold by the 'Alternative Energy Store'.
It's not like electricity is some form of alternative energy

It's a tried and tested design kit, hence a little cheaper. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/12V-Basic-Desulphator-Desulf...For desulphating, depending on which process you are trying to use, you need a transformer capable of supplying 20+ volts, for either pulsed high voltage or pulsed high current techs.

It's a 60v peak low current type (more suited to smaller batteries like the one on my Golf cart) but will also work on car batteries, albeit taking longer (1 week+).
