PulseTech Products Corporation, world leader in battery performance technology, offers pulse technology charging and performance systems that work with all conventional flooded lead-acid batteries and sealed batteries. This scientifically-proven technology helps lead-acid batteries on combat and tactical vehicles and other equipment recharge faster, accept a full charge, release all their stored energy and last longer. PulseTech Products offers a full line of pulse technology charging and maintenance systems. For the past 15 years, PulseTech Products has been working with the Army to help reduce the consumption of vehicle and equipment lead-acid batteries. We have developed more efficient and simpler-to-use products that are soldier-friendly. However, no matter how good the equipment is . . . the ultimate success will forever be tied to training and command emphasis. By going to the field, we learn from the soldier what he needs to do his job better. We have trained over 1,200 soldiers in the last year at over 106 locations including: Baghdad, Bagram, Vilseck, Camp Arifjan and Camp Casey. PulseTech Products will continue – at no cost to the government – to go ANYWHERE in the world to train soldiers on battery maintenance for as long as it takes. Our work is ongoing with Contracting Officers in Kuwait and Iraq to establish Battery Management procedures that improve: readiness, mitigate consumption and recover/recondition batteries that would have gone to the DRMO. We are also working to help elements of Army Sustainment Command to reduce battery consumption at RESET and STORAGE SITES. Our mission is and continues to be to go to the field and train the soldier, make it fun and interesting, listen to what the field needs and build it, build simple-to-use, innovative products that get the job done and when we think we have trained everyone, go out and train them again!
