+ | |||
+ | ===== My improvements ===== | ||
+ | I am experimenting with several design modifications to provide better pulses to desulphate batteries. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Half-bridge mode ==== | ||
+ | Half bridge modification can provide more time between pulses, so battery has more time to revive... Note that resistor in following schematic is used as placeholder instead of actual battery for simulation purposes: | ||

+ | Current through battery as captured using soundcard and shunt resistor (half bridge on the left, full bridge on the right): | ||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Note that you will probably want to double the capacitors in this mode to achieve same current as with full-bridge. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Spike generator ==== | ||
+ | This mod makes charger use high voltage pulses (while RMS current is kept constant). It uses SCR (or TRIAC) triggered by high voltage zener diode (or transil) to generate pulse when voltage rises enough. I reccomend to use zener diode or transil (doesn' | ||

Then i've been charging it for hour or few like once a day or two. Made sure that it never climbed over 23.2V. Now it seems " |
