Desulfator experience

muwlgrThis note is incomplete, as I did not have any more power outages since Sep 03rd 2024.
So, I received my desufator BR 12-72 600 and on Aug 31st I put it into the operation, just having clamped its leads to my 2*12v serial batteries.
The next power outage I had on Sep 03rd, and my UPS lived 2.5h on my batteries. Earlier it was able to reach 2.5h using only its built-n batts.
So, right now the situation is still "wait and see". On Youtube, I saw a number of clips where authors advised to measure electrolyte density instead of battery voltage, and showed how this density grows up while voltage stays unchanged. Hope my deslufator would help with growing this density which I can't measure easily and exactly right now.
[ update as of Nov 18th 2024 ]: after continuously running this beeping box connected to my batteries terminals for more than 2.5 months, on the next utility power downtime I had battery runtime of only 2h9mins. Which indicates that my sulfation case is more serious than that could be resolved with this device. Its manual advises to use it with fresh batteries to prolong their useful life, and does not guarantee any decided success with old/sulfated ones, only some chance of success.
