sotxbill, There is a time to be born and a time to die. I have owned a BatteryMinder 12248 for over a year. It won't make a battery any better. It may prevent it from aging faster, but it won't make the battery any better. I put on a 5 year old delco on my charger for 3 months to desulfate. The GMC dealer told me my battery had a full charge, but failed the load test, sulfate problem. I also have a battery conductivity tester that will give me the actual cold cranking amps. I confirmed my battery was down on the CCA. The battery conductivity testor is what the dealer uses and in my opinion it's better than a load tester, which I also have. I have yet to see my cold cranking amps increase because of the BatteryMinder, which I use on about 20 batteries.
If your charger is boiling out the water, your charger isn't shutting off. The wrong charger will do harm also. Letting a battery sit over the winter and lose it charge isn't good either.
I rotate my BatteryMinder from battery to battery, as soon as it goes in to the float mode. Yet to see it boil a battery.

I was thirteen, and Kathy (my oldest sister) was seven. At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
