Another Win for PulseTech and The XC100-P Xtreme Charger

As many of you know, we like to share stories regarding how products we have suggested and sell, IMPACT our customers day-to-day living. Today's story comes from a farmer in Marion, IN who, no less than a week ago, purchased the PulseTech XC100-P. This is a 12 volt 2.5 amp Xtreme Pulse Charger.

Frank's XC100-P Experience

As with many do-it-your-selfers, Frank has been around the block a few times and knows a thing or two about batteries...and cars, tractors, corn, futures, growing degree days, etc. He had heard about Chris's story involving his dying BobCat batteries and how the XC100-P changed everything. Understandably, Frank wanted to know if these "desulfanators" would work in his situation. And knowing their excellent track record, I of course, quickly replied "I have no doubt."

Frank, like many mid-west farmers, collects and restores old John Deere tractors and has a modern army of tractors and farm equipment. Of course not every tractor can be used every day or even regularly for that matter. Which, luckily for us, creates the foundation for our story.

There was one tractor in particular, a 720 diesel converted from 6 volt to a 12 volt, that had been pushed to the back of the barn and left to gather dust for a year or so. The battery had died 3 or 4 times in the past. Needless to say, this 3 year old battery, which was left connected to the tractor with its parasitic drain, did not have a tender tethered to it. During its year long slumber it succumbed to the load and the effects of sulfation. When Frank went to intervene, the voltage read 10.12 Volts. With voltage that low, many would think a dead cell and toss the thing in the trash (slang for rural recycling station). But rather than break the kids back when they attempted to take the trash out, he attached the PulseTech Xtreme charger and waited. And waited. And when he could wait no longer--those 48 hours were torturous--he strode back into the dark confines of the barn, jumped up on the old beast and...VRROOOOMMM! She fired right up and had voltage of 13.4!

Nay Savers

Now, I know what your thinking, "Any battery with a charger left on it will turn over the engine, but will the old battery be able to hold a charge for a few days or weeks and still start the application?" Oh ye of little faith, remember Chris's story? He thought the same thing after being introduced to the XC100-P, and what was the outcome? (click the link to read his story and find out for yourself).

We are confident Frank will report a similar outcome. He has disconnected the charger and plans on letting the battery sit for a few days before testing again. He also intends on using the 720 to cut hay with next week which will be a good test of endurance. Frank as shared a few other "battery projects" he intends to jump on; one that involves the Cross Fire that mainly sits around. If that were not enough, his son-in-law was so impressed with the results to date, that he has taken the charger over to his place to work on some old batteries. We should have plenty to report in the coming weeks...anyone want to make any predictions?

New PulseTech Combo Kit Available

PulseTech has recently come out with a money saving kit that includes the XC100-P charger, QuadLink 4-way splitter, 5 plug-n-play ring connectors, 1 plug-n-play alligator clamp, 4 of the 5ft extensions, and 2 of the 25ft lead extensions.

This setup allows you to connect to four different 12V batteries. While connected, the charger will be pulsing and maintaining 100% of the time while the QuadLink rotates the charge every 10 minutes. So during a 2 hour period of time each battery will have had a total of 30 minutes of charge time. If some of the leads are not connected, the QuadLink will automatically skip that open bank and go straight to the next connected lead. This simplifies charging for those with multiple battery applications and means you only need one charger to complete the task.

The XC100-P / QuadLink combo can also be used with those of you that play golf and store your cart during the winter. It is small enough to fit inside most battery compartments and allows you to desulfate and maintain your batteries while they sit unused.
