A Pulse

Boat hibernation can be a real killer on batteries.

February 1, 2004

Boat hibernation can be a real killer on batteries. Keep your boat juiced up even when it's stored with PulseTech Products' RediPulse. The Redipulse uses a small trickle charge to prevent loss of battery power. The charge maintains your battery's juice so when you rev things up again, you've got more power to work with. The RediPulse is weatherproof, easy to install and works 24 hours a day. It matches with conventional flooded lead-acid batteries and sealed batteries, including VRLA, AGM and gel cell. Prices start at $69.96 for 6- to 12-volt batteries.
