Hi Dave!

This has chemicals beat, uses a totally electronic method to heal the
battery based on the frequency of sulphur....gotta love it...working on
getting some to sell through KeelyNet....just hook it up to the battery
and leave it....it has a timer and periodically cleans the plates with a
series of pulses.

As long as there are no internal shorts or cracked case, or low fluid, it
works automatically to let the battery hold the highest charge
possible.

Don't get me wrong, this isn't o/u...you still have to charge it....it is
kind of like NiCad memory....when you first get a NiCad you must charge
it for 12-24 hours to its full capacity.

Every time you discharge and recharge it, it won't quite go as high as it
did initially....over a period of time, it won't hold any decent
charge...you can zap it to 'blank the memory', then charge it again for
12-24 to restore it....a very similar process now applies to lead/acid...
