Equalizing and desulphitating batteries, comments and experiences

After I installed my new Xantrex charger I ran through the equalization routine.* I did monitor the batts closely, checked the temps and specific gravity and kept detailed records over a number of days.* The specific gravity did come up in every cell of the 4 big (4D, I think) batteries.* The batts aren't like new, but they did get an extension on life.

I know, everyone seems to think Xantrex is junk, but mine seems to do what I need it to do, was easy to install and worked right out of the box with no fuss.
