Battery Minder Plus Experiment Concludes

[D1dad]

I’m interested to see how it works. I was able to bring a boat battery back, somewhat. I replaced it this year but got a season out of it after it was more or less on deaths door. I alternate between pulse tech and BM and am having good luck keeping everything tip top.

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 so. The 1510 kept the battery but did not improve it. Just connected to Pulsetch since January and just tested it. The internal resistance stayed the same, about 6 Omhs, but CCAs went up, about 40 CCAs shy of the rated CCA. I am testing PulseTech on my Ford now, it was connected to BM 1510 for 4 months, and also has an 8-year-old battery, but it shows 700 CCA out of the rated 850 CCA. Will see if PulseTech can recover the CCAs.
