By 1997 they got permission to sell it to the public. I first became aware of it in 2000 and began testing it. Although my initial reaction was "this must be snake oil" i was surprised to discover the product actually did do what it claimed. Therriginal company is called Pulsetech. See www.pulsetech.com Over the years other people also found it does work and of course a number of imitators and clones hit the market. Ther was one guy in Hawaii who figured out how to build his own. He probably read the patent notes and used that for a schematic. He calimed he could build it for around $20 in parts and of course it looked home built. But it also worked. One of the early issues was RFI. To reduce interference various methods weer tried. REduced powr and or changed frequency. I became of one test done locally to me wher a "Batery Minder was found to be about half as effective as the Pulsetech. Boat electric in Seatle also has a product now and so far I have not heard bad thngs about it. As for me I am quite happy with Pulsetech. I have salvaged literally thousands of dollars of batteries junked by mechanics who found batteries sulfated after several months of winter storage without a float charger. I once recovered a perfectly good and almost new truck battery that had been abandoned foer 18 months . It recovered and is still in use. On a couple of boats with 32 volt banks ( old fishing boats) we managed to get another year or so out of the aging and well used 8V battereis. ( 8x4=32) Pulsetech had extensive white paper on their website at one time. These gave a good insight into the technology. They said 80% of so called "dead" batteries were only sulfated and were recoverable. 20% of dead batteries suffered from plate shedding, cracked plates and other damage that was not recoverable. I note this Nanopulser has an operating frequqncy of 10,000 GHz compared to the original Pulsetech which ran around 3.4 GHz. I don't know if this is just to avoid patent infringement or has some added benefit. Time and user testing will tell. As for a mega rip off - I dont see the price for Nanopulser but the Pulsetech has seved me well. At the moment I am up to owning four Pulsetech plus one competitive brand. They work for me. I have no interest in the companies except as a happy user who also use them for my system designs any time the owner agree to installing them. Since I only recommend and do not sell them, I neither gain or lose on the deal. regards Arild
