I take it that means three years later and you are still happy with the results.

Like you I have a small fleet going. Have you gone out and purchased one of these for every vehicle? Or are you just using one in the garage and rotating batteries through? If the latter, do you have an interval on which you operate? Or do you just apply as needed?

I have mostly new batteries and all the rigs get at least started 1/week or daily now. I did find out that I needed to use a maintainer at the same time if I intended to use a defaulters. I think once the battery is desolated all it needs is a maintainer/charger. In fact some desulfaters will damage the battery plates if it is used too long, like weeks non stop. I think some of the units are both in one rig. I forget. But a desulfater by itself for weeks with out charging the battery will da=rain the battery
