	Any of y'all ever hear of a battery life extender based on
"Pulse Charge Technology"?  I was at some training for work
and an engineer with the Texas version of the EPA was
talking about some products (one called "Circuit Rider" for
example) that work on that principle.  Supposed to reduce
sulphur deposition on the battery plates and make batteries
last like three time as long.  A couple of websites:

	www.webcasting.com/pulse/minipul.htm
	www.solartech.com/index2.htm
	www.pulseenergy.com/content/sm_controls.htm

	I'm a real suspiscious person, but hey, I'm willing to be
swayed.  Right after everyone else tries it first, though.

	Just curious if anyone had any first-hand knowledge.
