When a battery has been setting for a long time it may show a surface charge on the meter but when a good health surge of power or spike comes the plates begin to activate.
It's almost like having a full jar of sugar and when you begin to shake it it settles to a lower level but the same amount of sugar is still there.
With a battery other things can happen. I have some sitting around and they show a surface charge and when engaged by pulsing the voltage drops.
tonight I put a 1500 pound battery on the pulse dump for the first time in 4 weeks. The voltage showed 12.6 and after pulsing for 30 minutes the battery showed a charge of 13.5vdc. and after 3 hrs it was 13.0 volts and after 12 hrs was at 13.4. So yes batteries need to be stirred up and much time to fill completely. Many who see the pulse charging information think that the batteries charge faster.
The newbies think that faster means free energy.
Another thing pulse charging does is to grow a finer material crystalline lattice that enables your battery to hold more charges or pockets to fill, either way you want to look at it.
Therefore sometimes as you pulse charge a battery it is changing by getting larger. As the pocket count is increased the charges will show less yet the battery still has more power in it than it did to start with.
I like to look at it like this, the battery sulfates a tiny bit between charge ups so the strong in rushing currents clean these obstacles off the plates and this will show a lower voltage right away as the newly opened pockets that should have been opened to be read by the meter were not accessible.
Once cleared off the pockets show empty as they can be read by the meter , where before no room for energy existed.
A fully sulfated battery that can not give out any power reads 12.5vdc on the meters. I have nice batteries here that no matter how hard I try they will not come back to life yet they read nearly full on the meter.
Don't let your batteries sit for long or you will have to work harder to get them cleaned up first and then charged up and on top of that continue the conditioning process of enlarging.
My ALUM converted batteries all give back over 50 percent more power than they are rated for from the factory when brand new.
