System and method for charging and pulsating batteries

1. A battery charging and pulsating system comprising:

a battery having a positive terminal and a negative terminal;

a charger connected to said positive and said negative terminals of said battery, said charger including a controller;

a battery pulsator connected to said battery to supply high-frequency pulsation energy to said positive and said negative terminals of said battery to desulfate said battery; and

a filter positioned between said controller of said charger and said pulsator, said filter being configured to reduce at least one of an amplitude and an intensity of said pulsation energy prior to said pulsation energy reaching said controller.

2. The system of claim 1 further comprising a schedule of operation for operating said pulsator, wherein said pulsator is activated according to said schedule of operation.

3. The system of claim 2 wherein said schedule of operation is a varied schedule of operation having at least a first portion and a second portion, said second portion occuring at a time after said first portion, wherein said pulsator is operated less frequently during said first portion than during said second portion.

4. The system of claim 1 wherein said controller of said pulsator is adapted to activate said pulsator after a delay period.

5. The system of claim 1 wherein said charger is deactivated when said controller of said charger determines that said battery is disconnected from said charger.

6. A battery charging and pulsating system comprising:

a battery having a positive terminal and a negative terminal;

a charger electrically connected to said positive and said negative terminals of said battery, said charger including a controller;

a battery pulsator connected to said battery to supply high-frequency pulsation energy to said positive and said negative terminals of said battery to desulfate said battery, said pulsator including an internal circuit having a capacitor;

a switching device disposed between said capacitor and said charger, wherein said switching device is adapted to electrically isolate said charger from said capacitor; and

a filter positioned between said controller of said charger and said pulsator, said filter being configured to reduce at least one of an amplitude and an intensity of said pulsation energy prior to said pulsation energy reaching said controller.

7. The system of claim 6 wherein said switching device is at least one of a relay, a proximity switch and a solid state switch.

8. The system of claim 6 wherein said switching device is associated with said internal circuit of said pulsator.

9. The system of claim 6 further comprising a schedule of operation for operating said pulsator, wherein said pulsator is activated according to said schedule of operation.

10. The system of claim 9 wherein said schedule of operation is a varied schedule of operation having at least a first portion and a second portion, said second portion occuring at a time after said first portion, wherein said pulsator is operated less frequently during said first portion than during said second portion.

11. The system of claim 6 further comprising a transistor electrically connected to said capacitor to shunt voltage accumulated in said capacitor.

12. A battery charging and pulsating system comprising:

a battery having a positive terminal and a negative terminal;

a charger electrically connected to said positive and said negative terminals of said battery, said charger including a controller;

a battery pulsator configured connected to said battery to supply high-frequency pulsation energy to said positive and said negative terminals of said battery, said pulsator including an internal circuit having a capacitor, wherein said capacitor is adapted to store a voltage;

a resistive device selectively disposed between said capacitor and said charger, wherein said resistive device is adapted to dissipate said voltage from said capacitor; and

a filter positioned between said controller of said charger and said pulsator said filter being configured to reduce at least one of an amplitude and an intensity of said pulsation energy prior to said pulsation energy reaching said controller.

13. The system of claim 12 further comprising a schedule of operation for operating said pulsator, wherein said pulsator is activated according to said schedule of operation.

14. The system of claim 13 wherein said schedule of operation is a varied schedule of operation having at least a first portion and a second portion, said second portion occuring at a time after said first portion, wherein said pulsator is operated less frequently during said first portion than during said second portion.
