>Today most electronic charge circuits use pulse mode [...] Really ? The only place I see "pulse mode" chargers for SLA batteries is in the automobile snakeoil market, where d00des appearantly think it will make their speakers louder... For Li+ batteries in tiny gadgets, like mobiles, pulse mode charging is used to reduce the size and heat from the charge regulator, but it does nothing good for the battery. A good temperature compensating switchmode charger is the way to go.
