[QUOTE="onthewater102, post: 418027, member: 13702"] I cannot find my way back to a writeup by an engineer for one of the big battery companies I was looking at prior to buying my current charger, but basically said what Dale is saying about low voltage battery tenders that only send a small amount of current do contribute to sulfating of the plates & that in order to safely maintain a charge on a lead-acid battery you need a pulse charging system which alternates charging pulses and discharging pulses to both avoid overheating the electrolyte & break up lead-sulfate before they deposit and crystallize on the plates. https://www.tstonramp.com/~rhinocharge/pulsetech_faq.html Different source but same idea [/QUOTE]
