Portable battery charger. What do you carry?
I've had many over the years but most are cheap and don't last long. I'm looking for a good portable 12 volt Smart charger that can desulfate and get my batteries to full charge if needed. What do...

BFL, what voltage are you using for a finishing charge?
I use the 1093 15.7v temp corrected at whatever ambient is.
However, on solar this summer, where the controller high point is 14.6v, and after it drops back to float and does that several days in a row, I have seen SG very near baseline, if not there when temp corrected for the warm weather. (I keep not doing temp correction)
So perhaps with shallow cycles like when on solar and low AH usage, they can get close enough to baseline without equalizing so you can't tell the diff. I wonder if it is the deeper cycling like in winter that makes it harder to get back up.
