Sealed batteries tend to need rehydrating, which can be a pain. one also then wonders how much recovery was from the rehydration, and how much from the...

One hypothesis is that pulsing is just a way to slowly charge a battery at high voltage, giving it time for recombination. This suggests a simple experiment,...

How hot does the capacitor get? 2 micro seconds at 10kHz; that's a 2% duty cycle, much higher than Couper, so I'd expect faster results....

One great thing about the pulse is that it is very high frequency (MHz ringing) that it does not travel far; this is why lead losses are so great and braided...
