Leon, A year ago Christmas, I purchased a batteryminder 12248. Cost over $100. Is it worth it? Hard to say. Will it bring back a battery from the dead? NO
I also recently purchased a battery conductivity tester, Midtronics Advanced Battery, Starter & Charging Tester, 300 series. It can measure the acutal cold cranking amps of the battery. Many times better than a load tester. After using the batteryminder, there isn't an increase in the cold cranking amps. The temperature of the battery has a greater influence on CCA.
SO, if the batteryminder desulfates the plates it has to be a very small amount and there is very little if any change in cca. Again, the temperature does change the cca more then batteryminder.
However, it is a good battery charger that doesn't over charge and cook the battery. Sometimes it takes weeks on a battery before it's done with the desulfating mode.
Because I spent a pant load on the batteryminder, it is always connected to a battery in the pole barn. I keep many batteries in the work bench, rotate it between tractors, mowers, mule, truck, car, trolling battery, and dump trailer.
I'm hoping the batteryminder will keep a healthy battery healthy longer. Only time will tell. I was expecting more for from batteryminder. George

The garden was already sprouting when we hooked up the mid-mount shovel cultivators to the Pony. The seed bed was soft enough that the rear end would spin and slowly work its way to the downhill side of the gardens slight incline. From this, we learned our lesson sinc
