Winter is upon us and the '48 2WD Truck will sit a lot this winter. I will start it and get it up to operating temperature every week, but that is still a lot of sitting.
In doing work in one of my other retirement jobs, I have discovered gadgets called battery conditioners. They are not really big battery chargers, they are little trickle chargers that intermittently hit the battery with a current pulse based on the battery terminal voltage. They claim to hold the battery at saturation voltage (about 7.15 to 7.25 volts) but not overcharge or cause electrolyte loss.
Other claims include reducing sufation as well as stopping hair loss and curing arthritis (well maybe not all three).
Who has experience with these gadgets? Do they work - how well - downside of the thing?
