Hello, I'm glad to find this group as I've been reading the ezboard web forum but it appears to be more or less deceased. I'm in the process of building the...
Ashley, As you're probably aware the original API-Delevan inductors were rated; 220uH was 2.025A 1000uH was rated 0.39A so this gives you a clue as to the...
Hi Richard, Thanks for the quick reply. Actually I wasn't aware of the original ratings, in fact until Tuesday night I didn't even know what the heck L1 and...
... The Jaycar 220 uH looks good. Can't see the RS 1000 uH, but if its the 1.6 A unit it will be fine. On electrolytic capacitors - you can use caps with a...
... Hi Ed, thanks for the advice. ... Ah, I suspected as much. Oh well, it was only $4 for 100 :-) I daresay they'll even give me a refund if I ask. I had...
Hi Ashley. I have found that when you change the power parts (mosfet, output diode, "C4", and inductor set), the pulse timing also needs to be considered and...
Hi Rick, Thanks for the good advice. I'm trying to keep as close to original as possible, I think I've done pretty good so far (at least I hope so!) After...
Rick, This implies that you can tell us 2 more things: What is the free software you chose for this and you have an already designed pc board file. Would you...
... http://www.flickr.com/photos/7339875@N08/ That's a link to artwork for a desulfator I made using the free Eagle software I mentioned. It is a modified ...
... The above link will bring up an un-related photo as well as the artwork jpg. I should have added that the flux paste photo has nothing to do with this...
Hi Mike. The free software is eaglecad, found at : http://www.cadsoft.de/ As for the layout, I have not got a finished board for the standard pulser, the one...
Mike, As Rick says I have a simple PCB which may make your life easier if the components you have fit the space available of course. Regards Richard ... ...
Huge thanks once more to everyone who's offered help. I couldn't have done it without you. Over the weekend (with the help of my more electronics savvy...
... Hi Ash, I get a session expired when clicking on the links you posted, so can't see what's there. Regarding the routing: I drag the parts to the board and...
Hi Ed, ... Ah, one of the problems with the RS components website. The inductors I bought are RS Stock No. 228-551, while the alternatives that I think I...
Hey, now that I know I can sort of ignore the yellow lines, I've actually managed to get all the components positioned on the board and manually drew the...
... Hi Ash, The 228-551 is a better coil. The 489-0122 is a max of ~ .5 amps, the 228-551 is > 3 times that. I've used numerous inductors, and the 228-551 is...
Hi All. If you DELETE traces, you are also modifying the circuit and as you have seen, it is a pain and, in all likelyhood will eventually lead to an error. If...
Well, thanks again to everyone for comments, help, advice and encouragment. My colleague managed to squeeze me in to his busy schedule and run my prototype...
Hi Desulfators! After soldering together an AC-Desulfator and doing some experimenting I found this interesting group while seeking more information! My name...
Hi again everyone. A quick update: with my prototype humming away merrily on perforated board I finally got around to etching a board (my first ever!) thanks...

Hey all! I've been laying low for a while - adopted a baby boy over a year ago. :) ... This circuit is the one I've used in the past. Works fine, up to a...
Thanks for the replies guys, I may have fried the caps and/or diodes as one used to work, the meter was definetly not on the AC scale at any point. Ed you're...
Hi again, I'm after some advice on protecting devices (mainly "smart" battery chargers and expensive pulse width modulation EV speed controllers) which might...
Hi All; While searching for info on power supplies, I stumbled across info about desulfators. Now, I'm off track and have been reading like crazy :). The...
