[QUOTE="Roland, post: 8571280, member: 647142"] That van has 320 k on it it turns over fairly easily but still runs like a champ. We can disagree on the job of the Alternator. In theory i'd agree it's not for charging the battery,,, but in reality it's often called on to do just that. Anytime you have jump start a car, because someone left the lights, on or ran there stereo with the car off for to long. Or even when a car has a weak battery, the alt is required to do that extra duty. And alternators do it without issue every day. Sulfate is what accumulates on the plates of your battery, it limits the charge your plate can accept. High voltage 15.5-16 can help desulfate the plates but some chargers send too much amps and risk boil off... A low amp high voltage pulse charger can rejuvenate a weak battery be knocking the sulfate off and back into electrolyte solution... I have a roll around 250 amp charger also, but the pulse charger does a better job just take longer. The best way to use the pulse charger is to charge the battery, then discharge the battery, and repeat a couple of times if needed. I just realized iv'e had the same analog load tester for 40 years. It looks very simular to this one.
