Seems a great way to increase battery life                                                                                                           

Here is a charger I am currently looking at to maintain my camping trailer battries....

I also have camping batteries,the one I recently put new battery acid in and I noticed that there was a coating on the lead plates. 

This is very interesting tech

 

 

Wetkit I have also added one to my wishlist

Thanks

Goeie middag

 

Gee my asb meer info hieroor???

 

Ek is op soek na 'n regulator om meer lewe oor die lange duur uit my batterye te kry

 

Ek wil my batterye afskakel by so 12v en dan oorskakel na 220v of genset.

 

Weet julle dalk van iets op die mark??

@ Brits,

Moeilike vraag as mens nie regtig jou set-up ken nie.

Meeste Solar controllers het n "load" output, bat jou load sal afsit as die battery volts te laag val.

n Bi-Directional invertor sal ook oorskakel na Eiskom karg as battery volts te laag val.

Ctek battery chargers also desulfate batteries.

This is what I bought today.My old battery charger boiled my battery the other day.

 

So, how does one use a unit like this, on permanently connected solar batteries?

That is not an option, you'll have to disconnect the batteries to use the desulfater.  If your batteries are kept charged and recharged immediately after they were discharged you should not really need a desulfater.

Desulphators work well for batteries that have been standing unused. I have recovered a flooded lead acid battery that way that was dead and would not charge. They do it by pulsing the battery. It is a 48v (24x2v) 1000ah lead acid battery that I am using with my ups backup for my computer network. After recovery, the battery performs well and had no issues. A battery that is being cycled regularly and not stored discharged should not need to be desulphated
