How much Amps is this supposed to feed into battery during the "recondition/ desulfate" mode?

The recondition mode doesn't use many amps as it is not intended to charge the battery, but desulfates it as best it can with a low-level waveform. To use the recondition feature, charge the battery as best it can with the normal procedure, THEN do the recondition. After a small amount of discharge, try another normal charge cycle and see if you have picked up any additional capacity.Note that a "normal" charge for AGM's, includes 12-16 hours of "float". This is not to be confused with an AGM's ability to not need much float in short-term storage or inactivity - but the proper initial charge cycle should include 8-16 hours of float.

It adjusts the input automatically, the main thing is that the input current oscillates on and off at a very fast rate, which loosens the lead sulfate from the plates. Some might go back into solution, but whatever doesn't drops to the bottom of the case, hopefully below the plates.

I don't know the amps but it is minimal since it also runs off 4 D cell batteries in series putting out only 6 volts.

The amp draw is 1.3A continuous with "start-up" amp draw listed as 6.0A. This is according to the UL label on the rear of the fridge.

If that battery was truly dead and maybe also sulfated, this isn't unreasonable. Remember this is both a charger (but not a very powerful one; 900 mA is 0.9 amps, so a typical car battery of about 200 amp-hours would take over 200 hours to be fully charged by this device) and a desulfator. That second process might also take a while.That said, if the battery's no longer able to take a charge, no charger will restore it.

I have charged batteries as flat as 2.5 volts! Yes it has a maintenance mode for desulfation.

My system is not ADT so, I can't answer your question really. I just looked at the battery I had before and used it as a reference. It too was a 12v 5ah battery. Similar size with F2 terminals.

I have charged dead batteries with it. I would say it depends on what caused the batteries to die. Individual batteries may well be beyond recovery of any charging means. Let me say that if the batteries are recoverable, this system will desulfinate them to maximum normal remaining life

Depends on battery state of charge. 3 levels of charging.3 different amp draws

I just hooked a multimeter up to the lawn mower and was seeing anywhere from 8 amps with no load, up to 20 with a load. I'm going to put a 36v 10ah Lifep04 battery in place of the lead acid batteries. I needed to know the power consumption for a BMS/PCB. If anyone has exact specs on the motor, please let me know. Putting the lithium chemistry in the lawn mower should reduce its weight by 25LBS!

I think you mean amps, not watts. It is supposed to trickle charge slowly. Borrow or buy a3 amp charger for this battery. 10 amps would ruin it.

Powered by Re-chargeable 9.6V Ni-CD battery. Don't know the amps. The ones we got discharge quickly and take a long time to charge. Lipo batteries would be better.

Sam.. I use this battery for audio system.. I checked before I used and was fully charged.. It sits at 12.4v.. I use that inside of the vehicle bcuz does make the gas that a wet cell battery will.. So far work rly great it can handle 6000 wtts fine of my subs (also changed my alternator to a 170 amp one)

That is very normal. I have a different unit that puts out 1.25 Amps and it took 3 days for a partially charged battery. This one only puts out 800 milliamps (.8 Amps) so it could take many days for a full charge from discharged condition. Others are correct that this is designed to "maintain" a charge as opposed to actually charge a discharged battery, but if you are patient, it will charge too.

This is a battery tender for 24 Volts system. If it is left plugged in it will provide 2.5 amps per hour to the battery. Normal systems have about 1500 amps in the two batteries. This is math problem, uses 50 amps in 12 hours to run things, 30 amps are replaced for a net lost of 20 amps, go to sleep for 8 hrs. and 20 amps are replaced. Get a good digital volt meter 12.8 volts is 100% charged, 12.6 volts is 75% charged, 12.5 is 50% charged System voltage should not go below 25 volts as will decrease battery life and stress your charging system. It is best to have a electrical source to run the day to day stuff and the Batter tender will keep the RV battery fully charged This is a battery tender for 24 Volts system.

1. You should use a charge controller to reduce risk of damage to the battery. 2. probably 3.3 amps but no way to be sure without seeing the label or cell spec

Without knowing what the Amp of the battery is I cant tell you for certain. One amp =(approximately) 100 watts. Do the math to extrapolate your battery's capacity. Remember, this unit is for maintenance, not full charge so, take it from there. IF your battery is completely dead (use a voltmeter) then it will not be capable of being recharged.

I have a BatteryMinder 12248 as well as the 10030A. The Schumacher is junk in comparison. It basically uses a 15 volt charge to desulfate instead of high frequency voltage spikes. The higher voltage boils the battery and only runs when the charger thinks it's required, which is almost never. The BatteryMinder constantly desulfates, even in float mode. The 10030A is not temperature compensated during the charge phase, the 12248 is. I could go on, but you probably get the point. Get the 12248 BatteryMinder.
