Same here Landy. I don't want to argue with recycled tuna fish cans, and a chip programmed by someone who wouldn't know a deep cycle battery if it crept up behind him and bit him in the ass.
I just made a USA telephone call to a "respected" flooded battery OEM. Had a nice chat. Was interested to hear a consensus is building in OEM, AGAINST the use of ripple oriented charging. Seems as though OEM has re-discovered what I concluded more than 20 years ago - ripple (so called pulse desulfation) does far more damage than good. Like magnesium or cadmium sulfate additives it attacks viable plate material and has minimal impact on latticed PbS04.
APPARENT gains in voltage is caused by DAMAGE to good plates. Viable active plate material is softened, destroying it's longevity. Softening increases permeability by H2SO4. This is a BOGUS apparent increase because softened plate material yields higher energy TEMPORARILY. The cost? Plate stripping. What a specific? EXCESSIVE ELECTROLYTIC EROSION.
I wonder when ads are going to appear offering psychic connection to your battery bank by Wanda the all-seer?
