    It appears to be an Australian copy of the Pulsetech device originally
    developed for the US Army by a Texas company back in 1987.

    I have been using these for about five years now in civilian applications.
    The claims made by the manufacturer are true and the technology works.

    At this time I have four of the units in use in my shop and usually install
    them on every major system installation I do.

    Approximately 80% of so called "dead" batteries are simply sulfated badly and
    can be recovered by using the pulse technology.
    Over the years I have salvaged several thousand dollars worth of expensive
    deep cycle batteries.

    Thsi Megapulse product seem to have acouple of innovations compared to the
    original Pulsetech. Only time will tell if they are gimmicks or worthwhile
    additions to the basic technology.

    I didn't see a price but th eUS Pulsetech version sells for $79 and is
    definitely worth it.

    regards
    Arild
