Well…actually…no they haven’t. Not in the way we would have liked.
Recently I posted an open letter to these companies asking them to join me in creating a battery pulse rating standard they could all use. Right now the lack of a standard for pulse length, time between pulses, and the criteria used to set the rating makes any “pulse” or “max” rating utterly useless. You can’t compare the “pulse” or “max” rating from one battery against another.
But not one battery rewrapper or manufacturer responded or showed interest in any way.
Unexpected? Perhaps not.
But very disappointing nonetheless.
I get it, these “pulse” ratings are what sell batteries. I was hoping though that with the uselessness of these ratings becoming more and more known that at least one company would see an opportunity to help set a standard. If for no other reason than it would help them stand out from their competition.
Some of our community’s battery testers and a couple of shops have offered to help out though. Thank you! We’ll see what we can do.
To all those companies who still insist on using worthless pulse ratings, you will be called out for it. All the more vehemently now too.
