![]() The EXCEL 100 DUO can be connected to a PC to update the firmware or use the PULSETEC CHARGEMASTER software to monitor the charger during charging.ĪC/DC Quad Charger EXCEL 200 QUAD PC-020-002 The EXCEL 100 DUO is fitted with Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity which allows to remote control and monitor the EXCEL 100 DUO comfortably through the PULSETEC LINK app on any IOS or ANDROID portable device such as smartphone, iPad, or iPhone. Just to name a few Large LCD screen, Charge / Discharge functions, Power Supply 100w, Voice control, Battery IR meter, etc. The Excel 100 Duo is fully loaded with incredible features unique in his price range. The charge current is adjustable from 0.1 up to 10.0A with a maximum of 100W in AC mode or 2x 100W in DC mode. The EXCEL 100 DUO can charge any 2 Lithium batterypack from 1 to 6S, Nickel batterypack from 1 - 15 cells or PB batteries from 2 - 20V simultaneously. The EXCEL 100 DUO AC/DC is a dual-channel charger with two independent circuits which can charge all different chemistry battery types Li-Fe, Li-Ion, Li-Po, Li-HV, Ni-MH, Ni-Cd and PB simultaneously. I have kind of moved on from desulfators and have focused on how not to let a battery sulfate, as in, better battery chargers.AC/DC Duo Charger EXCEL 100 DUO PC-020-001 There is a mountain of designs, information, personal experience, and success stories there, from around the world. Look for "Direct drive" and "voltage doubler". If you are interested in desulfator designs that actually work, go to the "lead Acid desulfator forum", ( ) under the "pulse charging and desulfation" section. The little inductive kickback circuits out there are a waste of time. It takes a lot of energy to convince sulfates to reform into sulfuric acid. These bogus circuits have done more to sully desulfator usage than to desulfate batteries. There are a huge number of desulfator circuits out there that are grossly under powered, producing less than 5 amps of pulse current. A $19 motorcycle battery from X-Mart is a waste of time. A battery that has sat in a shed to two years is a waste of time. The success rate varies based on battery size and construction, amount and age of sulfation, and power of the desulfator. Pulsed desulfation, where a battery is pulsed with high amperage pulses (>100 amps) will often bring a battery to a higher state of health. Failure to charge a battery correctly leads to sulfates building up and hardening on the plates and thus, early battery failure. They don't realize that a battery has to be charged is a specific way in order to maximize the conversion of sulfates back into sulfuric acid. Too many people think of a lead acid battery as a big capacitor, in that all you have to do is replace the energy you used plus some extra. "Pulse conditioning" is a far better term for what is being done to the battery. "Pulse charging" is a very poor description because there is very little charging is going on. ![]() Most of the so called "intelligent" chargers have a pulse charging mode, that applies to both nickel & lead chemistries - so far I've not bothered taking any measurements. The arrangement worked brilliantly with Ni-Cd cells, but the results with Ni-Mh were less impressive. The clamp rectifier was SB to limit the amplitude of the reverse excursions. The circuit was the basic capacitor input voltage doubling rectifier, the forward pass rectifier was the basic fast silicon so the Trr produced the required reverse spikes. ![]() In the end I used a capacitor coupling with a selected combination of fast silicon and Shottky-barrier rectifiers on the transformer output of a surplus SMPSU. Years ago I experimented with this, but found the results with 50Hz unimprssive. The same method applies to nickel chemistry, especially Ni-Cd. Putting a resistor in parallel with the half wave rectifier put a small reverse flow between each pulse of raw DC current. Originally for extending the life of zinc/carbon cells, it borrows from an electroplating technique of periodically reversing the current flow to get smooth even plating - just raw DC would plate some of the zinc back on the casing, but it was rough and granular.
