You may need to pulse in a very specific way during your main charge to knock the sulfation off most effectively. Do google searches for this, because there's research (I saw it in passing, in searches to try to answer your question, but didn't read it - just know it's there, and probably very helpful). Also, don't forget to adjust your charge voltages for temperature - Arizona charging is probably different from Alaska charging.Īlso, during the main charge, you may want to pulse, because it supposedly knocks off the sulfation, also increasing battery life. A button to manually bring up the charge a few hours just before use might be nice. This will keep the battery ready for use whenever it is needed, which is the main purpose of the float charge, but it will cause much less corrosion, causing the battery of the customer to last much longer.

You could implement a "Smart Float Charge" feature that will allow the customer to still just keep your charger plugged in, turned on, and battery attached, for their convenience and peace of mind but your charger wouldn't actually float charge, instead it would turn the charge completely off and wait the two weeks (as suggested in block quote #1 above), and then initiate a full charge. And there is corrosion on the deep-cycle batteries too, it just doesn't affect them as much because their plates are thicker. So, the answer to your question, "What is best for the life of the battery?" it seems, has a surprise answer - Don't Float Charge - because it reduces battery life. Prevention remains the best course of action, by periodically fully Peer-reviewed publications verifying their claims.
