Come on people be accurate, it a desulfonator it keeps your batteries from sulfonate buildup. It's made for use in vehicles such as RV's. If you don't know what a desulfonator is or how to desulfonator a battery look it up. The other method of using high voltage for hours can produce hydrogen gas. This method doesn't.

The Battery Minder is a Maintainer, Charger and Desulfator that can be used on a single or multiple batteries. Although they mention it is for 12V batteries the instruction manual says it can be used on multiple 6V batteries connected in series to where the final output is 12V.

One note on the Battery Minder, and all AC chargers, is that if AC power is not available the wires must be disconnected from the battery or the unit may actually draw power. This point was made in the FMCA article I mention above.
