Replies: Posted By: 81nautique Date Posted: April-03-2006 at 11:02pm Darrel, I've never used one on my boat but they are quite common in motorhomes. Most good quality motorhome converter/chargers have a desufalte cycle built in. From my understanding it is a bigger problem when the battery is drawn down below 80% on a repeated basis so if you are one to use your stereo for a few hours at atime without running the engine it could help prolong battery life. It's a bigger problem on deep cycle batteries when people run them dead and then recharge em fast. We do a lot of boondocking with the motorhome and run off of my battery bank for long periods of time but I always make sure to start the generator and recharge the batteries before they get below 50%. ------------- You can’t change the wind but you can adjust your sails Posted By: David F Date Posted: April-04-2006 at 1:13pm Darrel: Home Depot sells a Husky brand battery charger for $60 that is electronically controlled and has a desulfating mode along with many others. A great deal on a battery charger. I have heard the desulfating cycle works well. http://www.homedepot.com/prel80/HDUS/EN_US/diy_main/pg_diy.jsp?CNTTYPE=PROD_META&CNTKEY=misc%2fsearchResults.jsp&BV_SessionID=@@@@1166724180.1144159879@@@@&BV_EngineID=ccccaddhhehekfjcgelceffdfgidgln.0&MID=9876 - Husky battery charger
