Noticed the plug for the Megapulse battery conditioner in this
month's CB. Being cynical, my first reaction was that this was yet
more snake oil, not helped by this kind of blurb from their website:
> It is the sulfur molecules in the electrolyte of the battery that

there's lots more like it in the "technical" section.
I think they mean ions, and I'm not sure that the description of the
electrolytic process in a lead acid battery is right anyway.
Howsumdever, not to leap to judgement, does anyone have any
experience of using this beast, or any informed view of its
effectiveness? At 68 squidlets, it's not cheap, except in comparison
to the cost of a new battery bank, of course...
