On sigma auto I saw a unit called a Nanopulser which supposedly improves gas milage and battery life. Does anyone have any data on the functionality and compadability with our vehicles?
Is this what you are referring to? http://www.pulsegenetech.co.jp/en/what/index.html If so, it works with lead/acid batteries with liquid electrolyte. Our 12v battery is an AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) battery and our traction battery is a NmH battery. I did some more google search... ABS Alaskan states that it's safe for AGM batteries. I don't think sulfation is a problem with NiMH batteries. OK, now what does it cost vs the cost of a new battery and how much life will it add to an AGM battery? I don't have those answers.
desulphering a battery is really only for a deep Cycle battery. what it does is cause the electrolight to actually turn to a gas and bubble to get some of the sulfide back into the electrolight. in a solar system this is a monthly practice to keep the batteries in a good state. as for a car battery i dont think it would ever be a problem unless you regularly drain the battery (ie once a week) save your money.
Relating the effects of desulphation to "improved mileage" is a long shot, but I suppose if your electrics are generally working better given a good battery behind them, a car's general operational efficiency may be a little better. And no, it has nothing to do with NiMH hybrid batteries -- this is only talking about lead-acid chemistry, the 12V system. . _H*
