More Solar for "Us"
Ok, I went off.the deep end? Bought 3 used 37watt uni-solar panels and a blue sky 2000e controller for the hefty price of $400, They were being listed as 75w panels, they are not The tested open...

Hi Mr. Wizard,
The best protocol for preventing permanent sulphation of the plates is immediate charging, preferably to 100%.
The old suggested method of desulphation was slow gentle charging -- which is exactly what a solar system does. I think the numbers form 7:00 am to 8:30 am show that is exactly what is happening with my system. 0.6 amps into 875 amp-hours of battery bank is not very much. Plus most solar charge controllers already do a PWM charging style.
I'm not trying to discount the pulse desulphator in any way, I'm just pointing out that you are doing a lot of things "right".
