Re: Conditioning Your Battery

Thanks for the write-up! I'm a little confused, and have a few questions:

1. Is the Battery Minder the only battery servicing you are doing, or is the de-sulfation conditioning being done in conjunction with the use of traditional battery charging equipment say, a 3-level smart charger?

2. How long does a typical de-sulfation conditioning procedure take? (The article's text states your results were obtained in two weeks, but I presume your battery was not connected to the Battery Minder continuously for the whole two weeks.) A couple hours, overnight, or a 24 hour day, or ?

3. Out of curiosity, do you obtain an accurate voltage reading when the battery is fully charged by the Battery Minder - 12.6, 13.2, 14.4 or ?(measurement taken by a volt meter or digital multimeter - not by the vehicle's voltage gauge...)

Thanks in advance for clarifying the issue!
