My batteries finally gave up the ghost after 9 years of service and they've been replaced.
I came across these articles. Is this snake oil
or for real.

and the actual product:

Yes I own a PulseTech, and a few others too, but they simply don't do what they advertise to do, which is eliminate or reduce sulfation in sulfated batteries. I have tried very hard for many years to see improvements in Ah capacity, cranking capacity, internal resistance and internal impedance but to date nothing measurable.
I have many thousands of dollars invested in battery charging and testing equipment:
With this equipment there is no lies and no BS.. I have measured no discernible increases in Ah capacity, drops in internal resistance or internal impedance changes. I have physically had the PuseTech (PowerPulse) running for over 6 months on what was originally a 32Ah GEL battery, it is still in the 15Ah range when capacity tested just as it was on teh first capacity test after being retired.. It's sister battery, with which it was in parallel, on a wheel chair, started within a few tenths of an Ah in capacity to the PulseTech'd battery. The non-pulsed battery is now pushing 23.5Ah's with no pulsing, just a regime of deep discharges followed by slow full recharges with the absorption voltage held for 18+ hours followed with a hard and fast recharge with voltage held for 12 hours... The battery marked MK on the bench is running a PulseTech PowerPulse. It has not changed in capacity in SIX months yet in a week I was able to restore nearly 8Ah's of
usable capacity to its sister battery..
I can't say how these batteries would last if you started pulsing from the beginning but I can assure you they have made no measurable changes to any of the numerous batteries, of all types, that I have tested them on. Equalizing your batteries regularly, if they can be, and properly charging them to 100%, regularly, results in healthy batteries. These devices, in my shop, on my test equipment, have proven to do next to nothing and I am using lab grade equipment to measure baseline > forward......
