I just converted a 22-dollar Cheapowatt coupled to a 20 amp auto reset breaker to get a 25 amp rated float charger with a 20-amp safety cutoff. The sealed units are great for weather but they are not large enough for a bank of batteries and larger float chargers are like diamonds - twice the size, six times the cost.
But for single battery use especially where weather is a factor, it's tough to beat a small sealed maintenance charger.
Señor Almot I do indeed know what these units are for :)
But promoting "pulse desulfation" with something that operates at that PWM frequency anyway is pure hooey. The whole time the thing is plugged it it is at 3.4MHz. Big deal. Want pulsing? Use an old fashioned center tapped transformer charger. About 10,000 times the pulse energy. Pure P.T. Barnum fodder.
