Hello All,
The other day it was mentioned that the BatteryMinder(TM) wouldn't work on
a bunch of batteries that were connected in parallel. Just wanted to
mention that I had just talked to the tech representative at VDC
Electronics (a distributor of the BatteryMinder) and he said that it didn't
matter if I put 4 or 5 batteries in parallel on the device IF i only wanted
to use the desulfation feature. It won't work as a charger for that many
(except as a trickle one). I currently have 5 on line at once, and will
let you all know how it works out. The representative also did indicate
that they are rewriting the directions, and ads, to say that it might take
weeks, instead of days, to fully recondition badly sulfated batteries.
