Pistnbroke,
Asking who Jesus is could REALLY get this thread off track.
Sorry if i digress at times from the topic here and in other threads. I'm here to learn, and to socialize. Sometimes socializing goes off on a tangent. Perdon

So....to keep this Flog and Pony show on the road, it sounds like an electronic battery sulfator is a valid concept. (?)

I had started looking at the possibility of purchasing one for my poor, abused trolling motor battery, but never posed the question here. I quick look on the web and these possibilities jumped out.

http://www.northerntool.com/shop/too...6706_200326706

Or something with a lower price...

http://www.google.com/products/catal...=0CIABEPMCMAI#

Any comments on the these products?

They just draw a small amount from your battery and desulphate it
