Sorry to confuse. Pulse was the wrong word. What I was trying to say is that during the charge mode the charge controller does interrupt the charge process to check battery voltage. Since English is my third language please forgive me. Bert Kehren In a message dated 4/6/2011 7:04:36 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time, p...@phk.freebsd.dk writes:

The only place I see "pulse mode" chargers for SLA batteries is in the automobile snakeoil market, where d00des appearantly think it will make their speakers louder... For Li+ batteries in tiny gadgets, like mobiles, pulse mode charging is used to reduce the size and heat from the charge regulator, but it does nothing good for the battery. A good temperature compensating switchmode charger is the way to go.
