The de-sulfating process is real, but it's tricky to accomplish because the frequency and patterns used to de-sulfate plates vaires quite a bit batt to batt. This is why you'll read posts about how the de-sulfating didn't help. The process may sound good and legit, but getting good results is tricky.

Look up the process used by MinnKota.

Explain how it works. Using simple physics.

It uses resonance to detatch the sulfer scale from the plates. Sulfer scaling on plates degrades the plate-acid boundary function, so less CCA, poor charging, etc. --> post #20

Some call it "pulsating"

Exactly but the theory is wrong on the basic physics of energy for these consumer devices. "Pulse Technology works to prevent sulfation buildup by removing the sulfate deposits from the plates through a unique Ion Transfer process"

There is simply insufficient electrical energy transfer to create sufficient vibrations (mechanical resonance) to destroy hard sulfation.
Any improvement you get is the same improvement you would get from a standard good charge profile.

You don't cure it, you prevent it.
