Chrissie Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Can anyone tell me what the French is for "pulse charger"? I am told this is a type of professional battery charger that will revitalise tired car and tractor batteries.Chrissie (81) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pachapapa Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Chrissie the link I gave you is for the Professional Web Site, I thought you might have a business and able to purchase without TVA. Here is the link to the Particuliers Web Site.http://www.conrad.fr/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CatalogSearchFASResultView?storeId=10001&catalogId=10001&langId=-2&searchSKU=&fh_search=MegaPulse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sid Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I bought one of these last year : http://www.batteriemegastore.fr/products/group/?c=Chargeurs+de+Batterie&sc=CTEKI got the lower charge model (MXS3.6) so that I could use it on my mower and motorcycle batteries as well as the car. It has a recovery mode (automatic) but I don't know if it's a "pulsing" charger. It managed to recover my mower battery which I thought was completely dead, (my normal charger wouldn't work on it), so it's saved me the cost of a mower battery so far.CTEK claim to be OE for many prestige motor manufacturers including Porsche, Ferrari and Aston Martin.http://www.ctekchargers.co.uk/?gclid=CKzlleDA-64CFUsMtAodymnSvw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissie Posted March 24, 2012 Author Share Posted March 24, 2012 Just to update, I went round various garden and car places yesterday and asked re getting the battery charged with a pulse charger. In every case I was met with looks of puzzlement, changing, as I described the process, to a mixture of disbelief and condescension. Poor woman - worse - poor English woman - she really thinks something like that exists? Ho ho. It's clear she really needs a new battery...........Anyway, I got one place to just charge it and it's now working OK. If it starts failing again I'll probably invest in a normal charger just to keep the thing ticking over until (hopefully) the tondeuse is sold along with the house. Er....anyone want a beautiful large house in the glorious southern Tarn?........Chrissie (81) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnOther Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 We all get over familiar with lead acid batteries as in general they just work and for the majority separate charging is rarely if ever required.When they do go down however domestic chargers nearly always fall short of what is required for proper and thorough recharging.This is why attention from a professional can sometimes recover what otherwise would be a scrap battery.http://www.batterystuff.com/kb/articles/battery-articles/battery-basics.htmlhttp://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/charging_the_lead_acid_batteryLead acid, and most other rechargeable batteries, are like fosse septique's, look after them and they will look after you [;-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pachapapa Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 I have an Einhell Power Station 3500, a bit like the one in the link below but more powerful and without a compressor or inverter. Most useful in winter for a boost to a lazy battery.http://www.rueducommerce.fr/m/ps/mpid:MP-FAC88M6583806#moid:MO-FAC88M10194420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
