I have anecdotal success with the recently purchased Pulsetech. My Honda has an 8-year-old battery and was periodically connected for 3-4 months every 8 months or so to BM 1510, the Older" model what outputs 13 V. The newer BM units, all of them, do not reach the needed 13v, but only 12.2 v or...

Thank you for the data point. I thought since their 1510 is somewhat of a base model, 1500 is even more so, people gravitate towards the higher-priced models because of the temperature compensation. Would you say 1500 has good temperature compensation in hot or cold environments?

I'm just off the phone with batterystuff associates, Josh, and later Anthony were extremely rude, unprofessional, and impatient, could not answer any general questions, and were also not transparent about their company's policies. That is not the experience one would expect when dealing with a...

Which reminds me, I used to have an operational Battery Tender unit (not to be confused with Battery Minder), the low amperage ones. I talked with the Technical Support from BT, and over the years, BT discontinued some of the products and began rolling out newer products just for this reason...

The one I have, MUS 4.3, does not seem to have a temperature probe. That charger has one of its functions as "Cold" charging, which I select when we are nearing 30°F. I do remember that I plugged Ctek into one of my batteries, and that battery did have issues when the acid would boil out. I...

This is a valid observation, but then that article from the Battery University notes that to maintain the float charge at around 13.5 V.

I do have batteries that are stored right now. Took them from vehicles not driven (regularly). I agree that the ambient temperature dictates what the float voltage should be. I have come to adopt completely stopping charging stored batteries during the summer months (here, in the PNW). Right...

According to Dave from Battery Minder. He also mentioned California standards, which puzzled me.

Hello, I'm trying to optimize charging-maintenance conditions for standard lead-acid batteries. There seems to be a variety of options on the recommended maintenance voltage needed for optimal battery maintenance. Newer battery chargers are mostly maintain batteries at 13.1 Volts, but the...

Thank you. What are your thoughts on Noco Genius 1 or 2 to keep batteries charged up and then desulfate on my Battery Minder 1510?

Thank you for your reply. I was reflecting and contemplating on the units that you suggested, such as 128CEC2 and even 2012. My dilemma is the cost. I know the cost of replacing batteries is higher. I have about 4 batteries and one 1 of 1510 unit that I bought 8 years ago or so. The...

Yes, this is very likely that I will need to desulfate for up to 8 weeks. How would you approach this, then, with 4 batteries, getting a separate unit for each? You would recommend 2012s, not 1500/1510? Which BM units do you have? Also, am I correct in understanding that desulfation only...

I'm trying to set up 3 to 4 batteries to be maintained with varying degrees of sulfation and different ages, from about 7 years old to as recent as 1 year old. I read through the online manuals for BatteryMinder units, and they state that in order to put them together is necessary to thoroughly...
