Default Jim Weir - desulfating battery charger

Jim, that was an excellent article in last month's kit plane. I'll be
getting the parts together to build one here shortly.

There was also a nice article in Sport Aviation (for a change), that
actually showed how to build something. In this case a battery
desulfator.

The question is, how feasible would it be to combine the two circuits,
making the circuit would go into desulfating mode When the battery is
charged?




Why make it?? If the battery is run down, charge it with a cheap Sears
charger and then use VDC maintainer...
See : http://www.vdcelectronics.com/batteryminder_12117.htm
I use them in all of my RV and AC batteries... You can find them at
"Battery Plus" stores and "Camping World" RV stores....


Lotsa times if the battery is sulfated, IT WON'T TAKE A CHARGE --

the cheap sears(ptooey) btry charger won't charge it OR pick up the
sulfate compounds lying on the bottom of the case & re-combine it
back into H2SO4.
