yes, that helps. the batteryminder plus is specifically supposed to provide a
pulse
with 1 amp max when in maintenance mode. it charges the battery to max, measures
that
no more is possible and automatically switches over to maintenance mode, thus
removing
sulfation from the surface plates. at least that's what their literature states.

I have read about these de-sulfation units and have always wondered if they
actually work?
Be interesting to see of anyone comes up and says they do.

It won't be me. I have always been very suspicious of any gadget or
magic potion that is supposed to bring batteries back to life. I have never
found any to be worth my time. Pulse de-sulfation may, or may not, extend
the life of a battery, but I am particularly sceptical of any claims that
they will "repair" a bad battery. (Others may have other opinions)
On the other hand, purpose-made lead-acid battery maintainers are
wonderful money & battery saving gadgets.

Apples and Oranges there Dufus.... Your Cellphone battery is either
Lithium, NiMH, or Nicad.... None of these has any Sulfur included in
it's Chemistry. SO, your resurrecting your Cellphone Battery has NOTHING
in common with a Sulfated Lead Acid Flooded Cell Battery..... which IS
the topic of conversation, here....
Apparently, you are just a minor Moroooon... (Bugs Bunny Definition)
