Not sure I agree and I won’t pretend to understand how these little chargers work. They are actually battery conditioners and from what I understand they desulfurize the plates within the battery so it regains its new capacity.


Here’s what Google says:

Battery conditioners restore the capacity of lead acid batteries by targeting lead-sulphur deposits which reduce the battery's ability to hold charge. These deposits build when a car is repeatedly driven on shorter trips or is left unused
