Watch the Progress
One of the answers lies in the peak pulse voltage which the desulfator produces across the battery terminals. Pulse voltage is a fairly accurate indicator of the internal condition of a battery. A sulfated battery will cause a high pulse voltage to appear due to the high internal resistance which sulfation causes. Batteries that are cleaned up or new result in low pulse voltages.
If you are able to read pulse voltage, you can detect what kind of shape your batts are in. During recovery operations, when the reading stabilizes (lowest reading over a period of time), the battery is recovered. To meet this need, I have developed a digital readout, peak reading volt meter option for the standard pulser module.
The LCD will display peak pulse volts or battery volts (switch on the right - center off).
The LED is an activity light indicating that the pulser is generating desulfation pulses
The switch on the left is to select the thermistor resistor string for recovery pulsing (up) or standard timing pulsing for comparative readings (down).

WARNING: Only connect these devices after the battery area has been/is
well ventilated. These devices spark when connected. Failure to follow
this precaution may result in the ignition of a hydrogen/oxygen pocket
and result in property damage, severe bodily injury or death.
CAUTION: The circuits depicted on this web site are not FCC approved.
They are only suggested configurations of parts which will work but are
not a finished product. FCC approval can be obtained by providing the
necessary shielding to meet their requirements and application to that
organization. Other government agencies may have a vested interest in a
finished product configuration depending on the area that you live.
