    everyone. Appreciate this forum.
    But I'm kinda confused here.
    Have gone through a whole bunch of battery rebuilt stuff over here, and kinda figure out the pros and even the diyers have got different hybrid chargers.

    PLEASE CAN YOU GUYS JUST POST WHAT CHARGER(S), YOU USE IN YOUR BATTERY REBUILDS.

    I think as for @MTL_hihy, he uses the MRC989 super brain charger.

    Just a simple review of why you're using what charger, would help.

    Thanks

    I know for General life-extending maintenance that a Prolong charge and discharge system is recommended. A coworker used one to restore capacity on a hybrid Civic. I am not sure if it is appropriate for use in a rebuild.
    @jeff652 is much more knowledgeable since he works for Hybrid Automotive, the manufacturer.

    Thanks for the reply.
    I meant to say hobby chargers, not the type Jeff uses. Its quiet expensive for a diyer battery rebuild

    Our products are used by retail customers and professional shops/battery builders to rebuild packs all the time. We have a trusted supplier of quality used modules that we refer our customers to to help ensure their rebuilds are a success.

    Sure you can do it with hobby chargers, but with our systems you can do it in a few days instead of a few weeks . . . and continue maintaining the battery afterwards so that the rebuild will last more than 9-14 months.
