Does this charger have a desulfation mode?

There is no reference to desulfation mode on the face of the charger. There is a switch which allows one to choose between a conventional low-maintenance battery and a maintenance-free deep cycle battery. I would also tell you that my unit has been working well except the DC amp gauge stopped working the first day and I can find no way to get it repaired or talk to a knowledgeable representative. It has charged many batteries satisfactorily in this condition.

Yes it does. If you have a permanent charger connection, this goes directly connected to it.

Yes - to a point. The best option is to keep your batteries from becoming heavily sulfated in the first place. This charger, if used perhaps for a monthly top off in a vehicular application, should prevent that.

No it does not.But the zero lemon wall chargers are soft.What you need is a wall charger with a current of 2.0> x> 2.5 ma then it charges it in like 3 hours.

Yes it does it goes into a trickle mode to maintain the battery charge level

Yes, as long as it is not an Optimate or similar, which has a pulse charging desulfate feature. The desulfate is great for lead acid, but bad for Li batteries. Once charged, these batteries do not slowly discharge like lead acid. I have my battery in a dirt bike that sits for long periods, it always fires right up!

Not sure about how long to desulfate, I think that would vary according to the amount of sulfation, but it has been pretty quick on the batteries I have done. Yes it does switch automatically to a "charge" mode thus making it a "set it and forget it" tool for overnight usage for instance. You can get more info at their website...

No, not with this technology. This charger is designed specifically for the job, and does it magnificently. I've been very happy with my Shorai set up and will never switch back. Hope this helps.

no, just the rate of charge-then drops into a fully automatic maint mode-a really nice charger

Thanks for asking this J Bilik! This caused me to do a little google searching..I'm not sure if the GTR's battery is lithium ion or lithium phosphate, but if its the latter, apparently it's important to NOT use a desulfating charger on these types of batteries. I can tell you that the pretty run of the mill Battery Tender Plus keep my '14 GTR charged all winter long with no issues.

No. It only charges through USB. However, USB wall chargers are available separately.http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_8?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords;=usb+wall+charger&sprefix;=usb+wall%2Celectronics%2C249

Yes. USB output is indeed AC mode. I cannot say enough good things about this charger. Works like a boss!

No it does not. they have one that works with this charger, but I did not buy it.

Yes...but the difference is minimal. This charger is well made, yet inexpensive. I have had no issues with it.

It is not. I returned mine for that reason. I am surprised they have not fixed this yet. I just went to Walmart and bought two chargers.

Everyone else says no, but the manual says: "The automatic Tune-Up(tm) Mode equalizes the individual cells in the battery pack allowing it to function at peak capacity. Battery packs should be tuned up weekly or after 10 charge/discharge cycles or whenever the pack no longer delivers the same amount of work". If you are speaking of a pulse-mode desulfation, I do not think it does that. But I don't think Lithium Ion batteries benefit from it anyway.

No it doesn't it is kinda a dumb charger. However i have left batteries on for weeks and have not had a. Problem
