Good Morning All, Don Plisco's testing of various battery desulfators has just about concluded and the results are 'officially' out now. My best Alastair...
Good afternoon all! This is *very* good news. Way back when before my job got extremely nuts, Rick and I spent much time discussing PIC pulsers and their ...

Hi All. A large part of hobby electronics is getting the parts you want, at the right prices. Over time, I have collected some great resources. The best of...
Hi Rick and gang! ... That's always a good sign in my book. I once had a cynical senior engineer tell me that when a prototype works properly, it's simply...
Good morning all, There isn't much to add to Rick's post in my opinion. I'll add one or two things for the discussion and put my own personal take on some of ...

Hi Rick and gang, ... Ouch! I'll stay away from the inverter idea. ... Let me ask a question - as the battery voltage drops, so does the current into the...
Hi Ben. ... Yes and no. As you know, I started using a headlamp as a temporary measure, but found something interesting. Within the 13.5->10.5V range, the...
Hi Ed and gang, I'm going to reply back to the group with my reply as this discussion is great! ... At the same time, if you're only using 50% of the...
Hey Rick! ... Oh, that's right. I remember now. On the other hand, isn't current and temperature fairly well related? More current = more temperature. ... ...
Hey Rick! ... Wow! That's very consistent. ... That makes a lot of sense. ... Agreed - very inexpensive and repeatable. "Headlamp hours" could be a new...
Hi, I'm Donald A Plisco from Tulsa, OK. I've been testing a multitude of different designs of pulsers and keeping track of the results in various ways and...
Good Morning All, It's good to see some more people coming on board. With Rick's assistance I'm progressing getting a professional PCB done based on the PIC...

Good Morning All, The PIC PCB has proved a little more challenging than anticipated. With Rick's kind assistance we have got it down to the size required to...

Good morning all, I keep forgetting who I tell what, so I apologize that I am so late with this announcement. As of the 26th of November, I became a father....

Good Evening All, Come on guys this could become personal!!! Let's focus attention on developing desulfators here. There was also an inappropriate reference to...
Hi Richard. ... Sadly, it seems that it might have been purely personal. I will appologize for that, I personally invited Ed to check out the group. I didn't...
Good evening all, My company has been sending me to a management training course for the last few months. I guess they see some potential in me. ;) Anyways,...
