If you are going through a lot of batteries you may want to investigate a
Pulse battery conditioner. Storage batteries can lose cells for many
reasons... overcharging freezing while under charged... Freezing in arctic
conditions, I met farmers out in Manitoba who take the batteries out of
their equipment every night in the winter.
Check out :

I read somewhere of a unit that you attach to your battery It takes a small
current form the battery to charge a capacitor then dumps the charge from
the capacitor back into the battery. This keeps a battery from sulphating.
It has been described to me like a charger that uses the battery's own power
to charge itself
There are also schematics you can get off the net to build a pulse generator
to add to your simple battery charger.

Thanks Noel, I'm looking into it. Considering how many batteries I go
through in cars, aircraft, and RV's it might be a good investment.

I've got two of these. One AC and one solar. Unfortunately the solar
panel was dead out of the box so I'm waiting for a replacement.
