  1. Hello all' I may be new to kedron but am certainly familiar with PL20 Plasmatronics and have been using this unit for a long time and it is excellent. My comment however, refers to batteries and in particular discovering successful ways to desulphate batteries that are getting tired, and there is circuitry about that enables this that actually works and I have made six of these units now and when used in conjunction with a genuine old style 2 amp trickle charger work very well in my experience. These units work off battery voltage directly and have an led that lights up and use about 300-700 milliamps/hour during operation. If anyone is interested in doing this I will cheerfully direct those handy with a soldering iron where to buy the kits from and the mods that can be made for more muscle if required. If used regularly as a preventative measure [not connected all the time-not necessary] battery life can be extended significantly and if used in conjunction with 1. an accurate specific gravity reader and 2. a battery tester [100 amps shorting load for 10 seconds] you can find out how well the desulphator is working over a period of days or longer by testing the battery directly. I am at present making a variant that has a built in idiot proof on/off switch [it does matter which lead is put on first but correct switch wiring removes this possibility] and a low amp trickle charger that should be switched on after the unit is started and the red led lights up [which means its working and there is also a humming sound as well. I am happy to email this info if asked to do so. Cheers. Mark Email me
