Andy,
Good info to know the about the battery charger's desulfating process.
The reason behind the original exchange I had with Jerry (KI4IO)was to share
with him that recently I had been toggling breakers while tracking down an RFI
source, and found that my relatively new Sanyo TV persisted in generating RFI
for well over a minute after power was cut off to its outlet. There must be
some type of super capacitor in it.
The learning point was that quick cycling of circuit breakers may not be
adequate with modern electronics, anymore. And, thus, the title of his post.
He now claims the record for the longest persisting RFI generator w/o power
applied.
Again, thanks for sharing the info regarding the charger desulfating matter.
We are building our knowledge base.

If this is a charger/desulfator, then it remains doing its stuff
(banging the battery at a few MHz to get the sulfate deposits off the
plates of the battery) even with no AC power.
