Hello
I think that Mr Bedini wants us to understand the nature of things by ourselves, He doesn't want to spoon feed us, but wants us to understand.
The way we look at things must change in my mind. We must look at everything as living beings!!!

and a form of consciousness. Everything has a meaning and a purpose attached to it, even batteries.
Batteries are delicate providers of electrical current, and we must treat them how they like to be treated. If we push or pull them to make them charge or discharge, this makes them unhappy and exhausts them sooner or later.
But, everything in nature has a vibration so do the batteries. We must find that vibration. The key to battery charging is finding the perfect vibration for the batteries.
One way to find the natural vibration or frequency of things is to pulse them for a moment and watch the reaction of them.
In signals and systems we read that an impulse has all the frequencies in it, and applying it to a system will reveal its system function or more importantly the frequency of vibration it is based upon.
Consider the example of a child's swing as a system, if we don't know at what frequency the swing vibrates then we'll not know when to apply an impulse to the swing to make it vibrate with a higher amplitude. But as we apply an impulse to a swing we can understand the vibration of it by simply observing it.
So I recommend one thing, and I am going to test this later. The trick is to observe the batteries while pulsing them. Hook an oscilloscope to the battery terminals. Charge a small capacitor like 2uF to a high voltage (500-1000v) or a large one like 10,000uF to a about 20v. Experimenting will show that a heavy hammer is needed or a lighter one!!! But I think that it is midpoint somewhere for the best result. Design a simple switching circuit, and apply the capacitor to the battery as abruptly as possible like a hammer hitting a glass window. Right when hitting a battery with an impulse, monitor your scope or make a snapshot of the aftereffect of the impulse. The aftereffect acts like a damped sin-wave or a logarithmic function, the frequency of the sin-wave or the decay time of the logarithmic function is the natural vibration of our living battery. So we must tune our charging circuit to apply the impulses to the battery at the right moment to make it happy, not too fast, or not too slow, there must be a sweet spot so to speak.
This is what I understand about the nature of batteries. Resonance is a key in these systems. So the battery switch must consider this, to make it operate while treating the batteries with care and love and harmony.
Love and Light
