Bob:

I appreciate the forwarding of the info from Rolls and I am a big
supporter of their products having had 3 sets of their batteries over
the years. However the whole equalization question is an interesting
one. There is a lot of data including government testing about the
PulseTech approach on line that supports this method instead. And if
anyone wants to get an earful about the damage of equalization they
should call the Hydrocaps owner!!! He claims to have been in the battery
business for years etc.

Answer is- I don't know - but it has always struck me as a rather
vicious process.

Hi Ron,

Thanks for the response.  Can you point to any websites that discusses the
various testing and conclusions you referred to?  Would very much appreciate
it.

Thanks,
