Default Hybrid battery grid charger/reconditioner

Are these any good? Has anyone tried that before?

I'm interested in this as well, but there isn't much information on it.

I know this is a very old thread but as I have some hybrid battery concerns I'm interested in this - has anyone tried the Prolong charger?

TIA

looks like quite a process to go through. Did anyone see if he followed up on how long this recondition lasted ? I mean if it’s only a few months I would say it’s just time for a née battery pack.

From what I've seen the reconditioning process works for 6-18 months depending on driving conditions. Its all about breaking down those crystals and daily driven vs driven once a week. I have seen people go in with a group to buy one of these. Each person gets a pigtail for their car and leave it permanently installed and they share the discharger and charger. A conditioning cycle, I thought, takes a long weekend.
